DOE and GSP Signs MOA

Wazzup Pilipinas!

ENERGIZED GIRL SCOUTS: Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi delivers his inspirational message during the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on an educational partnership between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) led by GSP National President Susan Locsin last Tuesday (30 January).  The Energy Chief welcomed the Girl Scouts to the DOE Testing Laboratories to learn about cost effective appliances and initiated the sending of Energy Field Lecturers to GSP Camps nationwide.  With the DOE’s program called ENEReady, career talks for the Girl Scouts will hopefully encourage them to take up science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), to mitigate the gap between men and women in the technical field. The Secretary assured DOE’s commitment to GSP’s mission of “helping girls realize the ideals of womanhood and prepare them for their responsibilities in the home, the nation and the world community."

E-POWERING GSP: A ceremonial signing of the MOU on an educational partnership between the Department of Energy (DOE) led by Secretary Alfonso Cusi and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) led by GSP National President Susan Locsin was held last Tuesday (30 January). The DOE and GSP sealed this partnership to conduct lectures on basic energy concepts to Girl Scouts nationwide. This forms part of the DOE's E-Power Mo program which seeks to empower energy consumers  to practice E-Safety Mo energy-saving measures at home as “Energy Cost-Busters.” The MOU also provides the DOE and GSP a venue for cooperation and to encourage young girls to take up courses in science, technology and energy, and implement other activities that would promote energy conservation.
