Energy sources: Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito during the organizational meeting of the Committee on Energy Wednesday, August 10, 2022 asks Energy Sec. Raphael Lotilla if he could suggest other sources of energy that would bring down the cost of electricity in the Philippines. “I think the high cost of electricity and weak infrastructure are two things which make our country unattractive,” Ejercito said. According to Ejercito, he recently filed a bill on a comprehensive masterplan for infrastructure development, which included the transportation and energy sectors. “We should have a longer plan that includes energy for the next 50 to 100 years. I am hoping you can provide us your recommendation on energy sources which we could include in the comprehensive master plan,” Ejercito added. (Bibo Nueva España/Senate PRIB)
