Vice Gov. Garcia cites renewable energy trend

Vice Gov. Cris Garcia said on Tuesday that “we must adapt to a growing trend with renewable energy amid climate change and skyrocketing price of fuel.”

The vice governor was reacting to an issue raised during the GMEC/GNPD Stakeholders’ Convergence meet held at the Emiliana Hall in Balanga City attended by executives of local government units from Bataan 3rd District. She said the Provincial Government of Bataan is gradually shifting to solar energy and developing solar farms in the province. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan under her leadership is supporting this effort towards development of renewable energy sources in the province.

Other local officials who expressed support to GNPower Mariveles Corp. and GNPower Dinginin’s concerted efforts to protect the environment were Orani Municipal Councilor Maya Bongco, Samal Municipal Administrator Jay Sammy Lat, and Mariveles Mayor AJ Concepcion.
