(MENAFN- Newsroom Panama) The National Public Services Authority (ASEP) in Veraguas announced the extension of its business hours in response to the increase in reports of voltage fluctuations and electrical damage in various sectors of the province. According to Denia Santos, regional head of ASEP in Santiago, there has been a sustained increase in complaints related to power outages, which prompted the decision to strengthen customer service, including on weekends. “This measure aims to ensure that no one is left without the opportunity to file a complaint or receive guidance.
