Marcos orders doe to fix outages

President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the Department of Energy to closely monitor the country’s power supply following the forced outage of 19 power plants in Luzon.

In the same breath, the President instructed all government offices to set the standard in conserving energy and minimizing power consumption.President Marcos’ remarks came after the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines placed Luzon and Visayas grids on red and yellow alert. A red alert means the power supply is too low for demand, while yellow alert means the operating margin is too low for contingency.

Meanwhile, the nuclear energy cooperation and trade relations between the Philippines and the United States took center stage during a meeting of the Philippine delegation led by Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez with Rep. Gary Palmer of Alabama’s 6th District at Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. on April 16 .

Joining Speaker Romualdez in the dialogue were Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr., House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe, Deputy Speaker David Suarez, Agusan del Norte Rep. Jose Aquino II, House Secretary General Reginald Velasco, Deputy Secretary General David Robert Amorin, and Philippine Ambassador to Japan Mylene Garcia-Albano.
