I saw the Escudero Hydroelectric Power Plant at Villa Escudero last week. Originally it generated power for the Escudero coconut plantation in Tayabas province. It is the first hydroelectric plant in the Philippines. Although no longer in use, it is very well-preserved. (Architect Augusto F. Villalon)Photo above: original hydroelectric power generating equipment; below: dam for generating hydroelectric power and the power plant built in 1937.

Nope. Palakpakin, Balugbog, and Kalibato are among the first power plants (1933-1938). Caliraya was also claimed as the first.
