Who Should Be Held Accountable for These Deaths!

The Philippines is decaying....and what are we doing about it?

Let this image haunt us of what is truly happening around us. I fear for our children because this administration is rotten to the bone....whether they admit it or not, they caused this to happen.

Let us make them accountable.

When they ushered in a supposedly war on drugs, there has been many questionable scenarios. "Nanlaban" or "nang-agaw ng baril" are the primary excuses yet there were no witnesses to validate these claims but rather counters instead.

The so called "serve and protect" has become "slay and persecute" in so many dreaded ways....aggravated by a President who encourages killing even the suspected.
No more due process of law.

Execute! That is the order.

We may not be able to kill the weeds by just trimming them. We need to uproot to permanently end the infestation. But then again, we may still find ways to put them to something useful. After all, they are still living things that deserve a place in this world.

Do not kill the other useful plants in the process, or even those that were slightly tainted by the weeds. There are still plenty of hope for them.

Our gardener is wise enough to know even the undesirables could be turned into something attractive.

Fear, Anger, Disappointment, Frustration...

We saw this coming when the one who won as President is widely known as a shady character with very little diplomacy.

Perhaps now the people who voted for him are now enlightened. There are insurmountable evidence that cops were responsible, what are we waiting for?

Let us act now before it is all too late.

We don't want our children to live in this kind of world where justice seems dim because the leaders themselves are responsible for creating a culture of violence.

DOE To Bring E-Power Mo! To The Visayas

As part of its commitment to empower energy consumers and stakeholders, the Department of Energy (DOE) will bring the E-Power Mo Campaign to Cebu City on 7 September 2017 at the Marco Polo Hotel.

Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi said, "We empower energy consumers and stakeholders through education on their energy options, so that they can make informed choices.”

“Through E-Power Mo, we can provide the people from the Visayas vital information on recent developments in the energy sector, including but not limited to policies, programs and plans,” he added.

The E-Power Mo Energy Investment Forum and Stakeholders Conference will highlight energy programs, opportunities, development plans and policies, financing and best practices.

The six (6) breakout sessions will focus on the following energy topics:

Breakout Session 1: Downstream Oil and Natural Gas Sector, which will include discussions on the Philippine National Standards for petroleum, standards compliance monitoring for consumer safety and protection and the development plans in the emerging natural gas industry.

Breakout Session 2: Upstream Sector, which will zero in on matters surrounding the proposed “Philippine Conventional Energy Contracting Round” for coal at petroleum.

Breakout Session 3: Renewable Energy (RE) Sector, which will cover latest RE policies, such as net-metering, green energy option and renewable portfolio standards.

Breakout Session 4: Power Sector, which will focus on the merits of the Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) policy. The implementation of RCOA intends to provide consumers more power to choose their electricity suppliers.

Breakout Session 5: Alternative Fuels and Energy Efficiency Sector, which will involve presentation of roadmaps for energy efficiency and alternative fuels, energy management systems, and programs on auto-LPG, electric vehicles and emerging energy technologies.

Breakout Session 6: Consumer Sector, which will consist of various consumer concerns, including the understanding of the energy supply chain, energy safety practices and labeling program gender and development in the energy sector, RE as energy of the future, and lastly, making of an energy smart consumer.

The conference will also launch the documentary "Lampara ng Pangarap" (Lampara sa Pangandoy in Cebuano) which tackles options in coping with energy poverty using alternative energy technology and solutions.

Last July, the DOE launched E-Power Mo in partnership with the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) and Philippine Information Agency (PIA) at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.

E-Power MO serves as President Rodrigo Duterte’s energy policy agenda with the following objectives:

1. Develop and utilize the energy resources available to Filipinos for wealth creation and global competition (E-POWER MO);

2. Undertake safety and savings measures through energy efficiency (E-SAFETY MO);

3. Secure the delivery of quality, reliable and affordable energy services (E-SECURE MO); and,

4. Empower consumers through a wide range of options in utilizing conventional, renewable and alternative energy sources. (E-DISKARTE MO).
