Meralco infusing P18B for RE bid
Amid an aggressive sustainability drive, Meralco PowerGen Corp. or MGen, the power generation arm of Manila Electric Co. or Meralco, has earmarked P18 billion to accelerate its renewable energy or RE expansion. The company disclosed over the weekend that the investment will bankroll the development of over 2 gigawatts or GW of gross RE capacity from solar and wind power — targeted to be delivered by the end of the decade or by 2030. The allotted budget will also help MGen and its renewable energy unit MGen Renewable Energy or MGreen augment its RE capacity to 1,500 MW as it will fund investments in larger green energy projects, including those with battery energy storage systems. MGen started its journey towards a balanced, low-carbon energy mix through the opening of BulacanSol’s 55 MWac solar plant located in San Miguel, Bulacan in 2021. MGreen currently has an RE portfolio that also includes the 68MWac solar farm in Currimao, Ilocos Norte with Vena Energy’s Pasuquin Energy Holdings Inc. and the PH Renewables Inc.’s or PHRI 75 MWac solar farm in Baras, Rizal with Mitsui & Co.’s Mit-Renewables Power Corp. PHRI recently completed the commissioning tests for Phase 1 of its project involving 67.5 MWac which is scheduled for commercial operations by mid-August 2023. Phase 2 of the project is targeted to be operational by mid-2024. MGen president and CEO Jaime T. Azurin said the company is currently assessing other possible RE developments that it could take on in the future. It is aligned with One Meralco’s target to reduce its direct emissions by 20 percent through 2030 as it drives to be coal-free before 2050. Collaboration continues “We will continue to work with the energy industry, government, and other pertinent stakeholders to help further accelerate the country’s energy transition as we aggressively pursue more renewable energy projects,” Azurin said. This is in line with Meralco’s long-term sustainability strategy to embark on a just, affordable, and orderly transition to clean energy,” he added. These include the two solar projects: the 49MWac solar plant in Cordon, Isabela; and the 18.75 MWac solar plant in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija — both of which are among the winning bidders in the Department of Energy’s second round of Green Energy Auction Program. Based on the targets set by the DoE, the share of renewable energy in the country’s energy mix should increase to 35 percent by 2035 and 50 percent by 2040. However, it is still notable that despite an aggressive stance on clean energy use, the Philippines still relies heavily on coal. Coal, which is cheaper compared to other forms of power but more detrimental to the environment, is still the highest contributor to the power generation mix at nearly 60 percent. Renewable energy only takes a little over 20 percent of the mix as of last year. The post Meralco infusing P18B for RE bid appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Bong Go provides support to 1,700 indigent students in Antipolo
The Office of Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, provided assistance to 1,700 indigent students in Antipolo City, Rizal on Thursday, 6 July. Go’s team spearheaded the relief efforts at the Ynares Event Center and handed out snacks, masks, and shirts to the students. The team distributed bicycles, shoes, watches, and balls for basketball and volleyball to select beneficiaries. DSWD representatives also provided educational assistance to qualified beneficiaries. An advocate for quality education and welfare of students in the country, Go has co-sponsored 12 school bills aimed at improving several public schools in the country, as part of his vision to create a better learning environment for students, especially in rural areas. Go also co-authored and co-sponsored Senate Bill No. 1359 or the “No Permit, No Exam Prohibition Act.” The proposed measure penalizes the imposition of a "no permit, no exam" policy or any similar policy that prohibits students from taking an examination or other similar educational assessments due to unpaid tuition or other school fees. The lawmaker, likewise, co-authored and co-sponsored SBN 1360, which seeks to expand the coverage of the tertiary education subsidy by amending Republic Act No. 10931 or the Universal Access To Quality Tertiary Education Act. The proposed bill expands the eligibility criteria for availing of the TES to include disadvantaged, yet academically competent students, who are enrolling in their first undergraduate post-secondary tertiary education program in private higher educational institutions (PHEIs) and technical-vocational institutions (TVIs). Go also introduced SBN 1190 to expand the purposes and applications of the Special Education Fund (SEF) if enacted into law, proposing its use for the operation and maintenance of public schools, payment of salaries and benefits for teaching and non-teaching personnel, competency training for teaching personnel, operation of the Alternative Learning System, and educational research, among others. The senator also filed SBN 1786 to help address mental health concerns in higher education institutions. He also co-authored SBN 379, also known as the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act, which aims to provide mental health services, emotional, developmental, and preventive programs, and other support services at the basic education level if enacted into law. As chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Go made a commitment to collaborate closely with the local government in safeguarding the health and welfare of Filipinos by enhancing the availability of affordable healthcare. He encouraged individuals with medical conditions as well as the elderly, to visit the nearest Malasakit Center, where they can conveniently access the government's medical assistance programs. The primary aim of the Malasakit Center is to reduce a patient’s hospital bill to the lowest possible amount by covering various services and expenses. There are currently 158 centers nationwide that have assisted over seven million Filipinos, according to the DOH, the closest ones are located at the Antipolo City Hospital System Annex IV, Casimiro A. Ynares Sr. Memorial Hospital in Rodriguez, Bagong Cainta Municipal Hospital, and Margarito A. Duavit Memorial Hospital in Binangonan. “Sa mga pasyente dito, hindi niyo na po kailangang bumiyahe para pumila sa iba’t ibang opisina para makahingi ng tulong mula sa gobyerno. Kung may hospital bill kayo, ilapit niyo lang ‘to sa Malasakit Center. Wala itong pinipili. Basta poor at indigent patient ka, qualified ka,” assured Go, who primarily authored and sponsored the Malasakit Centers Act of 2019. Go has also reiterated his appeal to his fellow Filipinos to prioritize their health as he highlighted the services to be offered in Super Health Centers that will be established nationwide. Super Health Centers in the province will be strategically located in Antipolo City, Binangonan, Jala-Jala, Rodriguez, San Mateo, and Taytay. Super Health Centers offer basic services such as database management, out-patient, birthing, isolation, isolation, diagnostic (laboratory: x-ray, ultrasound), pharmacy, and ambulatory surgical unit. Other available services are eye, ear, nose, and throat (EENT) service, oncology centers, physical therapy and rehabilitation center, and telemedicine, through which remote diagnosis and treatment of patients are made possible. An adopted son of the CALABARZON region, Go continues to push for more programs, projects, and initiatives that will benefit local communities. He previously supported the improvement of the road and drainage system in Angono, Rodriguez, and Antipolo City; rehabilitation of the flood control structures along the upper Marikina River in Rodriguez; construction of the Batangas Medical Center Annex in Rodriguez; construction of the Justice Building in Antipolo City; construction and improvement of a multipurpose building and new roads in Baras; and purchase and installation of streetlights in San Mateo. ##### The post Bong Go provides support to 1,700 indigent students in Antipolo appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Manila Water pushes expansion program
Manila Water Company Inc., led by tycoon Enrique K. Razon Jr., will expand the local and international footprint of its business and services through partnerships and acquisitions. In an interview with reporters on Thursday, Manila Water chief administrative officer and head for international business Roberto Jose Locsin reiterated that the company “is on the right track” on its planned expansions. “There is a deliberate approach for expansion both domestically and abroad. In the Philippines, we would like to focus on highly-dense populations or the secondary and tertiary cities,” Locsin said. “We have conversations with LGUs (local government units) all across the country. I can’t mention anything specific because a lot of this is still under discussion,” he said. Locsin noted that Manila Water is particularly interested in pouring money into local water districts large enough to also promise good investment returns. The company pursues expansions through its subsidiary Manila Water Philippine Ventures, which has water services units serving Laguna, Boracay Island, Clark, Cebu, Zamboanga City and Tagum City. As for international expansion, Locsin said Manila Water aims to have a presence in areas where Razon’s International Container Services Inc. ports are located. Overseas foray next goal Overseas, Manila Water will focus on concession-based businesses under build-operate-own, build-operate-transfer, or public-private partnership bulk water supply schemes. “We have a very strong capability in industrial through our estate water business in the Philippines. Replicating that and consolidating that allows us to talk to a lot of people,” Locsin added. Manila Water is the East Zone concessionaire that provides water distribution and sewerage services in the East Zone which spans the cities of Makati, Mandaluyong, Pasig, Pateros, San Juan, Taguig, Marikina, most parts of Quezon City, portions of Manila; as well as the towns of Angono, Antipolo, Baras, Binangonan, Cainta, Cardona, Jala-Jala, Morong, Pililia, Rodriguez, San Mateo, Tanay, Taytay, and Teresa in Rizal province.
