Wazzup Pilipinas!

I noticed a lot of Campervan in the last 2017 Lemans tour race. Which actually won by Brendon Hartley a famous New Zealand f1 driver over the past decade. Although the actual race were just 24 hours in different parts of the globe. You may see plenty of side events race a within a week. I've been to several f1 and motogp sports race in different parts of the world. I was even selected to be a Marshall in Melbourne and Austin grand prix.

And all I can say is that its better to feel the race when you just stay on tracks. Rather than going to a hotel back and fort. Because of the heavy traffic during race practice, qualifying and final race. Which is really hectic and time consuming travel. Plus you will get a lot of perks if you just stay in the race track. Just a few rounds of beers and smokin tire bbq all day long.



You may find superstars and Hollywood celebrities just around the corner any corner. So you may have autograph and selfie with them. I felt bad last time when I missed the autograph and meet up scheduled session with Fernando Alonso on Ferrari pit a day before the final race due to heavy f1 season traffic. What I can say is that the real advantage of being just beside the race track.

New Zealand got a lot of young f1 hopeful. Which can actually follow Brendon's footstep in the King of Motorsport arena. They have dozens of international race motorsport events all over the country. Like the Speedworks Motorsport NZ in Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park, Taupo Circuit. So you can see the GT, Muscle Cars on action grinding on grid.

Tugade Orders Preventive Suspension of LTFRB Executive Director Jardin Over Corruption Allegations

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur P. Tugade has ordered the preventive suspension of Samuel Jardin, Executive Director of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), over allegations of corruption.

The preventive suspension will last for a period of 90 days.

Along with the order issued yesterday, 03 April 2019, a formal charge has been filed against Jardin for grave misconduct; receiving for personal use a valuable thing in the course of official duties wherein such gift was given in the expectation of receiving favorable treatment; and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.

The formal charge alleges that Jardin solicited money amounting to PhP4.8 million in exchange for facilitating and granting the application for a Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC).

As part of the internal investigation of the DOTr, Jardin is required to submit a Verified Answer, including documentary evidence, within three days from receipt of the formal charge.

Secretary Tugade strongly reiterates that any corrupt deed, or the perception thereof, in the ranks of the DOTr offices and attached agencies will not be tolerated.

During the DOTr flag raising ceremony at the central office in Clark, Pampanga on Tuesday, 02 April 2019, the transportation chief announced that two high-ranking officials, then unnamed, will be meted orders of preventive suspension for alleged involvement in corruption.

The DOTr resounds its stern warning that disciplinary action shall come swift and unrelenting to any official or employee, no matter the rank, for the slightest hint of corruption.

The transportation department wholly supports the campaign of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte against graft and corruption, and shall not hesitate to exercise its full power and authority to rid its ranks of errant officials and employees.

DOE Steers Power Industries to Work Together for the Summer Months

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi met with Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) officials headed by Meralco President and CEO Oscar S. Reyes yesterday (3 April) to discuss the details of the delivery of power to its customers throughout the summer months.

Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi has been closely coordinating with the power industry players to address the growing demand and the thinning of power reserves for the summer months. 

“The entire energy family should take a pro-active approach towards securing our power supply, especially since it is both summer and election season,” Sec. Cusi said.  

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines, Manila Electric Company (Meralco), and the DOE agreed that the power situation should be closely monitored given supply level adjustments brought about by increasing demand and the forced outages of power plants. 

Strategies on how to address thinning power reserves were also discussed during a meeting with Meralco officials. This includes the creation of additional power bypass lines, the efficient utilization of available power plants, as well as the application of demand-side management and accurate information dissemination to consumers. 

On the matter of the Interruptible Load Program (ILP) as a measure to help enhance power reserves, Sec. Cusi emphasized that “it shall be implemented as a last resort given the additional costs the ILP would bring to consumers.”  The ILP serves as an option for Distribution Utilities (DUs) like MERALCO and electric cooperatives to ask their big load customers to serve their own power needs by using their own generator sets to augment power supply capacity in times of Red Alert Status or when power supply reserves are thin.

“We will not wait for a loss of power to occur. The ILP is there as a final option to help us prevent a supply shortage,” Sec. Cusi added.  

YELLOW ALERT MONITORING 

According to the report of the NGCP, the yellow alert status issued today has been lifted effective at 4:00pm due to sufficient operating reserve brought about by low actual demand.

Earlier today, the NGCP issued a yellow alert notice issued for 1:00pm to 4:00pm today, due to insufficient operating reserve brought about by the high system demand and forced outage of the following plants:

Malaya Unit 2 (350 MW)

Pagbilao Unit 3 (420 MW)

SLTEC Unit 1 (135MW)

Makban Unit 7 (20 MW)

Tiwi Unit 6 (57 MW)

Tiwi Unit 1 (60 MW)
 

(Total = 1,042 MW)

De-rated Plants:

Masinloc Unit 2@250 (344MW)

Calaca Unit 2@200 (300MW)

Malaya Unit 1@150 (300MW)

SLPGC Unit 2@100 (150MW)

“The DOE and the energy players are closely monitoring the increases in demand and the power plants that are expected to be in,” Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella emphasized in a press conference earlier at the agency’s headquarters. 

The other strategies considered by the power industry players include the management of plant maintenance schedules, the optimization of existing hydroelectric power plants, the upgrading of the electricity facilities, the preparation of available generator sets for unforeseen outages, the participation of big establishments in the Interruptible Load Program, as well as the continued call for an energy efficiency lifestyle for electricity end-users. The DOE also emphasized the improvement of the operations of power plants and through the use of renewable energy (RE) and information technology. 

DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES

The DOE through its Energy Utilization Management Bureau (EUMB) reiterated the importance of its SAVE SAVE SAVE energy efficiency campaign, not only to incur more savings, but also to ensure uninterrupted electricity services this summer season.
