MANILA, Philippines — The state-run Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. (PSALM) has been recognized as one of the top-ranking government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) for its performance scorecard in 2022.

PSALM was able to attain a perfect 100 percent rating, putting it among the top 10 GOCCs evaluated by the the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG).

“This recognition is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our employees, who are committed to making PSALM Corp. a frontrunner in establishing an unparalleled performance in the government,” he said.

Under Republic Act 9136  or the Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001, PSALM is mandated to privatize all transferred assets from the National Power Corp. with the objective of liquidating all of the latter’s financial obligations.
