PNOC-EDC PRESIDENT SAYS
RP doesn’t lag behind
in geothermal energy
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Philippines is not as backwards as some might rather think in terms of harnessing its geothermal resources to provide energy to as many people as possible, Paul Aquino, president and CEO of the Philippine National Oil Company-Energy Development Corporation, said.
Aquino arrived in Negros Oriental yesterday to attend the commencement exercises of the 5th PNOC-EDC Summer Energy Camp held at Southern Negros Geothermal Production Field in Valencia town.
With Aquino were Italian Ambassador to the Philippines Rubens Anna Fedele and his wife, Cosetta, Ambassador Antonio del Rosario Sr. of the Philippine Consulate of Iceland, Charge D'Affairs Luis Palma of Chile, his wife Pauline, Director Eric Tamayo of the Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs-Office of the Undersecretary for International Economic Relations, Francis Villamin, DFA Protocol Officer, and Angelita Sucgang of the DFA Office of Middle East and African Affairs.
| Sibulan cops The Sibulan PNP is now enforcing the strict monitoring of all junkshops in the town following the series of reported thefts of water meters and electric wires. Senior Insp. Errol Garchitorrena, Sibulan police chief, expressed alarmed over the reported thievery in secluded barangays and schools in the town. The Sibulan police will monitor all junk shops where the thieves could be selling the waters meters and electrical wires, he said. |
| Do business early, BIR urges The Bureau of Internal Revenue in Dumaguete City is experiencing some problems in upgrading its data base because of loaded transactions daily for old and new applicants. Joe Senador of the Dumaguete BIR, however, said this is temporary since the roll-out program for the computerization program was implemented only in January this year. He enjoined the taxpaying public to transact with the BIR in the morning because computer encoding sometimes hangs, especially in the afternoon. |
