About 500 Grade 10 students of the Leyte National High School gathered on Tuesday at the campus’ gymnasium for the launching of the campaign, a partnership of the energy department and Philippine Information Agency (PIA).
“If students are aware, they can help apply energy tips in their
homes. We have been encouraging science students to participate to spark
innovation of energy projects in the future,” said Rey Maleza, DOE Visayas
energy industry management division chief.
“We need the help of power consumers to effectively implement our
programs. No matter how much effort we put on a program, if people will still
patronize illegal products in the industry, we can’t do anything,” Maleza said.
“E-Power Mo” aims to raise awareness on energy roadmap and
policies designed to empower the consumers.
These policies include developing and utilizing the energy
resources available to Filipinos for wealth creation and global competition;
undertaking safety and savings measures through energy efficiency; securing the
delivery of quality, reliable and affordable energy services; and empowering
consumers through a wide range of options in utilizing conventional, renewable
and alternative energy sources.
The DOE said it will aggressively implement this strategic energy
information, education and communication campaign so that ordinary Filipinos
would be encouraged to use energy responsibly and would be partners in
advancing the country's economic growth. (SQM/PNA)
