                           Sec Jericho Petilla and Prof Jorge at the Opeman Empowering Juan Forum last night

Makati City, Philippines March 25, 2014

Several key personalities from ERC, DOE, from PCCI were the guest speakers at the Opeman Forum last night at the APS auditorium  One of them was no less than DOE Secretary Jericho Petilla, former governor   of Leyte.  He was simply engaging and very erudite about the power nd energy.

He answered well the query by a French MBA studentnwhy not go nuclear.  The over all impact would be only P0.20 kwh ( 600 megawatt capacity at P2.00/kwh) without considering the perils associaed with meltdown as in TIPPCO in Fukugshima Japan, (Japan is now going solar) and that our future energy sources shall be RE in combinationn with coal and other fossil fuel baseload.

He hinted that China is frustrating our vision for natural gas/energy self sufficiency
