Senate holds joint hearing on amendments to the Renewable Energy Act — April 30, 2026

[0:00] So I'm sure we all know that this hearing comes at a critical time for our country's energy sector. [0:17] The Philippines remains highly dependent on fossil fuels, which still accounts for around 80% of our power generation mix, while renewables make up only about 21% to 22%. [0:30] At the same time, we face exposure to volatile global fuel prices driven by external factors beyond our control. [0:37] The recent declaration of a state of national energy emergency has further underscored the urgency of accelerating our transition to renewable energy. [0:47] Under current projections, electricity prices in the wholesale electricity spot market may reach as high as 9 pesos per kilowatt hour, almost double pre-conflict levels. [0:59] Against this backdrop, renewable energy is no longer just an environmental goal. [1:04] It is an energy security imperative. [1:07] We have made progress. [1:08] Thus, in 2024 alone, the country added a record 794 megawatts of renewable energy capacity, more than the combined additions from the previous three years. [1:20] But despite these gains, significant gaps remain, particularly in distributed energy, net metering options, permitting efficiency and grid readiness. [1:32] I won't go into the details, but as they come up, we will discuss this further. [1:35] Thus, the importance of today's hearing, let's ensure that government leads by example, and we have the bills going in that direction, and let us consider these bills now that strengthen the Renewable Energy Act. [1:48] I'd also like to add, as chairman of the Committee of Sustainable Development Goals, Innovation and Futures Thinking, it's important to note that these are all related to many sustainable development goals. [2:02] SDG 1 on no poverty, SDG 2 on zero hunger, SDG 7 affordable and clean energy, SDG 8 decent work and economic growth, SDG 10 reduce inequalities, SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities. [2:17] SDG 1 [2:48] living just above the poverty line [2:51] and then suddenly their electricity bill [2:53] goes so much higher [2:55] tapos mapuputulan ng kuryente [2:57] kaya nga may panawagan na [2:58] huwag sana magputul ng kuryente [3:00] kasi paano ngayon mag-aaral yung mga bata? [3:02] Paano man lang magpa-plan siya? [3:04] Yung nanay na pang trabaho [3:05] pagpasok, syempre [3:07] expected pag pumasok ka sa trabaho [3:10] maayos ang itsura mo [3:11] tapos hindi naman lang makapag-plan siya. [3:13] Pagdating ng tag-ulan, [3:14] pag inabot pa ito ng energy crisis, [3:16] karamihan ng mga kababayan natin [3:18] na nasa cities, [3:19] may maliit na washing machine din, [3:21] hindi na rin aandar yun [3:22] tapos hindi mapapatuyo [3:23] dahil walang araw. [3:25] So patong-patong to [3:27] and that's why I have to mention [3:28] the SDG goals [3:29] because when you talk about no poverty, [3:31] kasama naman sa poverty, [3:32] kasama naman sa [3:33] pagpapamumuhay ng maayos [3:35] eh may kuryente ka, di ba? [3:37] Nakaya mo naman bayaran yung [3:38] electricity bill mo [3:39] sa araw-araw na pangangailangan. [3:42] Zero hunger, syempre [3:43] nagluluto din yung mga yan. [3:44] Nagpe-prepare ng pagkain [3:46] and so lahat po ito [3:48] dikit-dikit. [3:49] Decent work and economic growth. [3:51] Pag nag-apply ka ng trabaho, [3:52] expected mukha kang disente, di ba? [3:53] Paano ka na magmumuhu kang disente [3:55] kung hindi ka man lang [3:56] makapag-prepare ng maayos [3:57] dahil walang kuryente, [3:58] you cannot even pay for electricity bill. [4:00] So patong-patong po itong lahat. [4:03] So this hearing is really important [4:05] and having said that, [4:08] just very quick reminders. [4:10] This is also meant, [4:12] we're supposed to practice sustainability. [4:14] I'm happy to see that you have [4:15] your glasses with water. [4:18] You can always step out [4:20] or ask if you need more water. [4:24] If you need to go to the bathroom, [4:26] just stand up. [4:27] Smoking, [4:28] sitting is the new smoking. [4:29] So kindly feel free to stand up [4:31] and stretch your legs. [4:32] Hindi hubawal sa akin yun. [4:33] It should be normalized. [4:35] Masama yung pag magpahiring ako [4:36] ng more than one hour, [4:38] you're all entitled to stand up. [4:40] In fact, [4:40] sabi nga, [4:41] if you do 10 squats every hour, [4:43] that's as good as walking [4:44] 30 minutes a day. [4:46] So gusto ko sana manormalize yun. [4:47] Kaya lang, [4:48] maraming matatawa [4:48] pag ginawa ko pa yun. [4:50] Tsaka everyday nag-workout ako. [4:52] So kayo, [4:53] bahala kayo. [4:53] But I'm encouraging you [4:54] to at least stand up [4:55] because [4:56] I do not want to contribute [4:58] to your health issues. [5:00] Dagdag pa yan [5:01] sa gagastusin nating lahat. [5:03] What else? [5:04] Please, [5:05] please, [5:06] please, [5:07] please, [5:07] do not read your position papers to me [5:10] kasi it's my job to read it [5:12] before the hearing, [5:13] after the hearing. [5:14] So gusto ko lang, [5:15] i-highlight nyo lang [5:16] yung mga nandun. [5:17] Tsaka marami tayong resource person. [5:19] So, [5:19] piliin nyo lang yung gusto nyong [5:20] i-emphasize [5:21] dun sa [5:22] ano nyo, [5:23] dun sa position paper nyo. [5:25] Yeah, [5:27] and I also encourage na [5:29] mag-submit kayo [5:29] ng position papers nyo [5:30] digitally [5:31] para [5:31] bawas din tayo sa [5:33] ano, [5:33] sa paggamit ng papel. [5:37] Okay, [5:38] I think that's it. [5:39] I will ask [5:40] Senator Marcoleta [5:41] if you have an opening statement [5:42] and then we will proceed [5:43] with our resource person, [5:44] sir. [5:45] You have the floor. [5:47] Madam Chair, [5:50] esteemed guests, [5:52] magandang umaga po [5:53] sa ating lahat. [5:56] At the onset, [5:56] I would like to thank [5:57] the committee chairperson, [5:59] Senator Pia Caetano, [6:00] for including [6:01] Senate Bill [6:02] 457, [6:04] which I have authored. [6:06] I firmly believe [6:07] that the government [6:08] must lead by example. [6:12] It is no longer sufficient [6:13] for us to encourage [6:14] renewable energy adoption [6:17] in the private sector [6:18] while our own institutions [6:20] remain dependent [6:21] on traditional [6:23] and imported fossil fuels. [6:26] By mandating [6:27] the installation [6:28] and utilization [6:29] of solar PV systems [6:31] and other renewable technologies [6:33] in government offices, [6:35] we're not only reducing [6:36] operational costs [6:37] over time [6:39] but we are also signaling [6:40] a serious [6:41] institutional commitment [6:43] to sustainability, [6:47] efficiency, [6:48] and national energy security. [6:51] Sa kasalukuyan po, [6:52] lalong nagiging [6:53] mas mahalaga [6:54] ang ating responsibilidad [6:55] dahil sa lumalalang [6:57] pandaigdigang krisis [6:58] sa langis [7:00] na direct ng konektado rin [7:02] sa gas tusin [7:02] sa kuryente. [7:04] Sa gitna ng tumitinding [7:05] tensiyong geopolitikal [7:07] at paghina [7:08] ng mga traditional [7:09] na mekanismo [7:10] ng koordinasyon [7:11] ng supply, [7:13] ang mundo [7:14] ay pumapasok [7:15] sa isang panahon [7:16] ng pangmatagal [7:17] ng walang katiyakan [7:18] at pabago-bagong [7:20] presyo ng enerhiya [7:21] para sa isang bansang [7:22] katulad ng Pilipinas [7:24] na umaasa lamang [7:26] sa inaangkat na langis. [7:29] Ang bawat aberya [7:31] sa pandaigdigang supply chain [7:33] ay agad na nagri-resulta [7:34] sa mas mataas [7:35] na singil sa kuryente [7:37] pagtaas ng inflation [7:39] at mas mabigat [7:41] o bumibigat [7:42] na pasanin [7:43] sa mga mamamayan. [7:46] The shift towards [7:47] renewable [7:47] must happen now. [7:49] Kagaya po [7:50] ng sinabi ng ating [7:51] chairperson kanina, [7:53] eh hindi na po [7:54] alternatibo ito. [7:56] Ito ay isang [7:56] pangangailangan [7:57] na dapat sana [7:58] ay matagal na [7:59] naipundar na [8:00] at napapakinabangan [8:02] na natin. [8:04] Kung nais nating [8:05] maprotektahan [8:07] ang ating bansa [8:07] laban sa mga [8:08] panlabas na dagok [8:10] na hindi naman [8:10] natin kontrolado, [8:13] kinakailangan [8:13] natin kumilis ngayon, [8:15] hindi bukas, [8:17] nang may pagmamadali, [8:19] pagkakaisa [8:19] at matibay [8:21] na paninindigan. [8:23] Maraming salamat po, [8:24] Madam Chair. [8:28] Thank you, [8:28] Senator Marcoleta. [8:29] And so, [8:30] we will now proceed. [8:32] So, [8:42] to manage our time, [8:44] I'll expect that [8:45] the resource persons [8:46] would be giving [8:47] their thoughts [8:48] and initial position [8:50] on the two types [8:54] of bills [8:55] that I mentioned. [8:56] We don't have to [8:57] go into details. [8:58] That's not the time [8:59] for today, [9:00] yung specific [9:01] na amendments [9:01] nyo per section. [9:02] Just the general, [9:03] do you agree, [9:04] disagree, [9:05] and any suggestions [9:09] on how to [9:10] generally strengthen [9:12] this concept, [9:13] which I would think [9:14] most of us here [9:15] agree with, [9:16] or what are the [9:17] safeguards [9:18] that the private [9:19] sector, [9:20] the other agencies [9:21] want us to consider [9:22] because there will be [9:23] a time for the details [9:25] per section, [9:26] per line, [9:27] during the TWG. [9:29] So, [9:29] having said that, [9:30] I will call on [9:32] Department of Energy, [9:33] USEC, [9:34] Innocentio, [9:35] you have the floor, [9:35] and then after that, [9:36] please be prepared, [9:38] ERC, [9:39] and then followed [9:39] by Naya. [9:40] Good morning, [9:43] Madam Chair. [9:45] We'd like to, [9:46] the Department of Energy [9:47] would like to express [9:48] our support [9:49] on the various bills [9:52] that have been presented, [9:53] especially as regards [9:54] the requirement [9:55] for government [9:56] buildings to install [9:58] RE as a source [10:01] of its power. [10:03] We just have, [10:03] we have already [10:05] submitted our proposed [10:07] sections or provisions [10:09] that would at least [10:11] empower or [10:12] operationalize [10:14] these measures. [10:15] Thank you, [10:15] Madam Chair. [10:18] A little bit naman. [10:19] Kayo naman yung pinaka-importante, [10:21] so feel free to elaborate. [10:23] Thank you, ma'am. [10:24] Ma'am, [10:24] number one, [10:25] we would like to, [10:26] we would like to request [10:28] for a provision [10:29] that will allow [10:29] government agencies [10:30] to have a multi-year [10:31] contract [10:33] because this would mean [10:35] that when some, [10:37] when the government agency [10:38] would have to ask [10:39] for a contractor [10:41] for installation [10:41] that most of these [10:44] contracts would come [10:45] like a BOT [10:46] and therefore [10:48] they would have to be [10:49] allowed to have [10:50] a multi-year contract. [10:52] Number, [10:53] another, [10:54] another suggestion [10:55] is for the use [10:56] of this energy cost savings [10:58] as a source of funds [11:00] for them to pay off [11:02] of these contractors. [11:06] Also, [11:06] we would like to, [11:08] we'd like to have [11:09] a provision [11:09] that the DOE [11:10] will be able [11:11] to give technical assistance [11:13] to these government agencies [11:15] and that [11:16] when it comes [11:17] to the contracting, [11:20] there is, [11:21] we, [11:22] under the RA [11:23] 11285, [11:25] the Energy Efficiency Act, [11:28] we have an interagency [11:29] composed of several agencies [11:31] and there is [11:32] a circular [11:33] or [11:34] resolution number five [11:37] which has [11:38] incorporated [11:39] an energy service [11:41] performance contracting [11:42] which is something [11:43] that can help out [11:45] these government agencies [11:47] in contracting [11:48] for this [11:49] energy saving devices. [11:51] Thank you, [11:52] Madam. [11:53] Save my questions [11:55] for later [11:56] so that we can get [11:57] overview [11:59] for everything. [12:00] but I think [12:02] you're just commenting [12:03] on the renewable energy [12:05] in government offices. [12:07] How about [12:07] any amendments [12:09] to the Renewable Energy Act? [12:11] Ma'am, [12:12] as regards [12:12] the net metering, [12:13] of course, [12:14] it's also a welcome [12:15] legislation [12:17] to us. [12:18] We just have to, [12:20] would like to request [12:21] that as regards [12:22] the identification [12:25] of the pricing methodology [12:27] and the limitations [12:28] which is also suggested [12:30] in some of the legislations [12:31] that ERC be the one [12:33] empowered as regards [12:34] to the pricing, [12:35] Ma'am. [12:36] So, sorry, [12:37] what's your statement [12:37] about it? [12:38] That the ERC [12:39] would have the, [12:41] be the agency [12:42] that will determine, [12:45] yes. [12:46] That's your proposal [12:46] that ERC will be, [12:48] so, [12:48] because, [12:49] as you correctly [12:50] pointed out, [12:51] merong mga, [12:53] measurement details [12:54] on the pricing here. [12:56] So, basically, [12:58] to exclude that [12:59] and let ERC handle it, [13:00] that's your position. [13:01] Yes, Ma'am. [13:02] So, I just want everyone [13:03] to also make their comments [13:04] on that [13:04] when you have the floor. [13:06] Okay, [13:06] we can leave it [13:07] at that for now. [13:08] Thank you. [13:10] So, [13:11] Senator Marcoleta, [13:13] since it's just [13:14] the two of us, [13:15] feel free to interject. [13:16] I do intend [13:17] to ask more questions later, [13:19] pero for quick clarifications, [13:20] feel free. [13:21] Normally, [13:22] pag marami kasi, [13:22] I don't allow [13:23] kasi hahaba, [13:24] tapos isang tao pa lang [13:25] nakakausap natin [13:26] isang oras na. [13:27] Pero since dalawa lang [13:28] naman po tayo, sir, [13:30] just, you know, [13:30] if it's just like [13:31] a quick clarification [13:32] like I did, [13:33] just go ahead. [13:34] Yes, Ma'am. [13:34] As to the proposals [13:35] presented by the DOE, [13:37] they appear to be [13:38] acceptable, [13:39] Madam. [13:40] Wala kumakita [13:41] ang problema. [13:42] I think [13:43] makakagaan pa nga [13:45] sa pagpapatupod [13:46] ng batas [13:46] sakaling ito ay [13:47] may isa batas natin. [13:48] Salamat po. [13:50] Thank you. [13:50] So, as I said, [13:52] let's go on. [13:53] Sa ERC, [13:54] Attorney Francis [13:55] Saturnino Juan, [13:57] the chairperson [13:58] of ERC. [13:58] Welcome, sir, [13:59] and you have the floor. [14:00] Then, as I said, [14:01] be ready, Nea, [14:01] and after that, [14:03] DPWH. [14:05] Thank you, [14:06] Madam Chair. [14:07] Regarding our [14:08] comments [14:09] or inputs [14:10] and suggestions [14:11] on the proposed [14:13] bills [14:13] to amend RE, [14:15] kung titignan po natin [14:17] na nagsimula [14:18] yung net metering, [14:19] or in fact, [14:20] yung implementation [14:21] ng mga incentive [14:22] mechanism sa RE Act [14:23] doon sa [14:24] implementation natin [14:26] ng feed-in tariff system [14:27] na sinimula [14:27] ng ERC way back 2010. [14:30] Tapos, [14:30] sinigundahan nito [14:31] nung pag-issue [14:33] ng ERC [14:33] doon sa nabalangkas [14:35] na net metering [14:36] interconnection rules [14:37] na nagawa natin [14:39] sa pakikipagtulungan [14:40] sa NREV. [14:41] Now, [14:41] in the implementation [14:42] of the net metering, [14:43] marami tayo nakitang [14:44] barriers [14:44] at isa nga dito, [14:46] yung sinasabi na [14:48] yung 100 kilowatt [14:49] na limitasyon. [14:50] Saan ba nanggaling [14:51] yung 100 kilowatt [14:52] na limitasyon? [14:53] Nandito ito kasi [14:54] sa definition [14:55] ng distributed generation [14:57] nasa batas. [14:58] Sinabi dito, [14:59] system of [15:00] small generating [15:01] entities [15:02] na ang isang [15:03] generation entity [15:05] may maximum lang [15:06] na 100 kilowatt. [15:08] Yun po [15:08] ang pinanggalingan [15:09] ng 100 kilowatt. [15:11] Pero wala po yan [15:12] sa definition [15:12] ng net metering. [15:13] Dahil sa net metering, [15:15] ang sinabi lang dito, [15:16] mayroon lang na [15:17] ito yung definition [15:19] pero mayroon [15:21] doong banggit [15:22] na distributed generation. [15:24] Kaya nung [15:24] iniugnay namin ito [15:26] doon sa definition [15:26] ng distributed generation, [15:29] nando na, [15:30] nag-apply na [15:30] yung 100 kilowatt [15:32] pagdating sa net metering. [15:33] Pero kung titignan po natin [15:35] yung section 10, [15:36] nando naman sa section 10, [15:37] iba ang definition [15:38] ng distributed generation [15:39] kasi system [15:40] of generating [15:41] entities. [15:42] Pero pagdating [15:43] sa net metering [15:44] mismo, [15:44] yung provision [15:45] na naglalaman [15:46] nitong net metering, [15:47] nakalagay doon [15:48] distribution [15:49] and users. [15:51] So, [15:52] marami kasing [15:52] pwedeng ipakahalukan [15:53] nito. [15:53] At pupunto ako [15:56] mamaya po [15:56] doon sa proposal [15:58] natin na [15:58] paghiwalayin natin [16:00] ang konsepto [16:00] ng distributed generation [16:01] dahil [16:02] malaki ang potential [16:03] nito [16:04] para tayong [16:04] kapag-transkisyon. [16:06] Wala tayong [16:06] limitasyon sa capacity [16:08] at yung mga [16:09] pupwedeng [16:10] magsipagtayo nito, [16:11] pupwede silang [16:11] magsipagtayo, [16:12] hindi dahil [16:13] meron silang [16:14] excess [16:14] na kanilang [16:16] na-generate [16:17] kundi [16:17] as a business [16:18] dahil yung mga iba [16:19] na mayroong [16:20] mga available [16:21] na rooftop [16:22] pwede silang [16:23] mag-negosyo [16:23] under that [16:24] model [16:25] yung distributed [16:26] generation [16:26] hindi [16:27] net metering. [16:28] Pagdating naman po [16:29] sa net metering [16:30] ito ay limitado [16:31] kasi mayroon dito [16:32] na distributed [16:33] end users. [16:35] Ang naging [16:35] disenyo po [16:37] nung ginawa nga [16:38] net metering [16:38] na interconnection [16:39] at saka yung [16:40] pricing methodology [16:41] ng ERC [16:42] nung pong [16:42] nagsisimula tayo [16:43] ay sinabi natin [16:45] lahat [16:46] nang ma-generate [16:48] ng isang [16:49] net metering [16:50] end user [16:50] ikaw [16:51] ang kumunsumo na [16:52] at kung meron [16:53] ka lang excess [16:54] dahil [16:55] maliit ang [16:56] yung [16:56] konsumo [16:57] yun [16:57] yun [16:57] yun [16:57] yun [16:57] yun [16:57] ang [16:58] memetrohan [16:59] at [16:59] ma-export [17:00] mo [17:00] sa [17:00] iyong [17:01] distribution [17:01] utility [17:02] at ito [17:03] ay babayaran [17:04] katumbas [17:05] noong [17:05] average [17:07] na generation [17:08] charge [17:08] ng distribution [17:09] utility [17:09] bakit? [17:10] Kasi [17:10] ito ay [17:12] extra [17:12] muna [17:13] kumbaga [17:13] ang naging [17:14] thinking [17:15] noong [17:15] nagsisimula [17:16] tayo [17:16] itong [17:17] mga kapasidad [17:18] o yung [17:18] installation [17:19] na ilalagay [17:20] mo sa [17:20] bubong [17:20] mo [17:20] ito ay [17:21] yung [17:21] sasapat [17:22] lang [17:22] para sa [17:22] iyong [17:23] peak [17:23] requirement [17:24] pero ngayon [17:25] nagpabago [17:25] na yun [17:25] kasi [17:26] bumababa [17:26] na rin [17:27] yung [17:27] presyo [17:27] ng mga [17:27] solar [17:28] at [17:29] pupwede [17:29] na nga [17:29] din [17:30] meron [17:30] ka [17:30] pang [17:30] extra [17:30] space [17:31] bakit [17:31] hindi [17:32] mo [17:32] lagyan [17:32] ngayon [17:33] ang [17:33] pricing [17:33] po [17:34] ay [17:34] yung [17:34] equivalent [17:35] sa [17:35] average [17:37] generation [17:37] charge [17:38] ni [17:38] distribution [17:38] utility [17:39] noong [17:39] unang [17:40] panahon [17:40] sinasabi [17:41] nila [17:41] 9 [17:42] per [17:42] kilowatt [17:43] hour [17:43] yung [17:44] cost [17:44] nung [17:45] solar [17:45] na yun [17:46] na [17:46] na produce [17:47] na i-export [17:48] tapos [17:49] ang bayad [17:49] lang sa [17:49] kanya [17:50] 4 [17:50] so [17:50] marami [17:51] ang [17:51] nag-advocate [17:52] gawin nyo [17:53] yung [17:53] pricing [17:54] methodology [17:55] kung [17:55] ano yung [17:56] retail [17:56] rate [17:57] para [17:57] kung [17:58] ang [17:58] retail [17:58] rate [17:59] yung [17:59] utility [17:59] ay [17:59] 10 [18:00] piso [18:00] kasi [18:00] kasama [18:01] doon [18:01] yung [18:01] other [18:01] taxes [18:02] yung [18:02] distribution [18:02] supply [18:03] metering [18:04] and [18:04] others [18:05] edi [18:06] bawi kami [18:07] sobra [18:07] sobra [18:08] marami [18:10] pa [18:10] ako [18:11] sasabihin [18:12] po [18:12] kasi [18:13] yun [18:16] po yung [18:16] mga [18:16] naging [18:16] problema [18:17] kaya [18:18] yun [18:19] yung [18:19] pricing [18:19] methodology [18:20] natin [18:20] pero [18:20] ngayon [18:21] bumaba [18:21] na yung [18:22] cost [18:22] ng [18:22] solar [18:22] tumaas [18:23] na yung [18:24] generation [18:25] charge [18:25] 8 [18:26] na [18:26] ang [18:26] meral [18:27] ko [18:27] so [18:27] ngayon [18:28] kung [18:28] ang [18:29] cost [18:29] mo [18:29] na [18:29] per [18:29] kilowatt [18:30] hour [18:30] solar [18:31] na [18:31] itatayo [18:32] ay [18:32] nasa [18:32] 6 [18:33] na [18:33] lang [18:33] tapos [18:34] ang [18:35] retail [18:36] rate [18:37] total [18:37] ang gusto [18:37] mo [18:37] mangyari [18:38] ay [18:38] 15 [18:39] pesos [18:40] sobrang [18:41] paldo [18:41] na yun [18:41] pero [18:42] kung [18:42] yung [18:43] current [18:44] pricing [18:45] methodology [18:46] ang gagamitin [18:46] nasa [18:47] 8 [18:48] meron [18:49] ka pa [18:49] ring [18:49] kita [18:50] meron [18:50] pa [18:50] ring [18:50] insentibo [18:51] at [18:51] bukod [18:51] bukod [18:52] doon [18:52] yung [18:53] nakonsumo [18:53] mo [18:54] nagamit [18:55] po [18:55] ang [18:55] katumbas [18:56] na halaga [18:56] nung [18:57] kinonsumo [18:57] mo [18:58] ay 15 [18:58] yung [18:59] retail [18:59] rate [18:59] hindi [19:00] yung [19:00] 8 [19:01] lang [19:01] na [19:02] generation [19:02] charge [19:03] ni [19:03] meral [19:03] ko [19:03] so [19:04] yun [19:04] po [19:04] yung [19:05] rational [19:05] behind [19:06] that [19:06] pricing [19:06] methodology [19:07] pero [19:08] nagbabago [19:09] din [19:09] po [19:09] pwede [19:10] na [19:11] yung [19:11] disenyo [19:12] sana [19:12] ay [19:12] lahat [19:13] nang [19:14] mapuproduce [19:14] ng isang [19:15] netmetering [19:16] end user [19:16] ibaton [19:18] niya [19:18] sa [19:18] utility [19:19] at [19:19] yung [19:21] kukonsumo [19:22] niya [19:23] ay [19:23] ikonsumo [19:23] niya [19:24] sa [19:24] mula [19:26] sa [19:26] utility [19:26] ano [19:27] ang [19:27] consequence [19:29] nito [19:29] ang consequence [19:30] nito [19:30] hindi [19:31] makakanibalize [19:32] yung [19:33] negosyo [19:34] ng [19:34] utility [19:35] bakit [19:35] kasi nga [19:36] kung parami [19:37] ng parami [19:38] yung [19:38] netmetering [19:39] yung mga [19:39] magsosolar [19:40] sa atin [19:41] at yung [19:43] based on [19:43] current [19:44] na design [19:45] liliit [19:45] ng liliit [19:46] yung sales [19:47] ni [19:47] meral [19:47] ko [19:47] at pagka [19:48] nagkaganon [19:49] dahil [19:51] maliit [19:51] na ang base [19:52] mo [19:52] lalaki [19:53] ngayon [19:53] ang katumbas [19:54] na distribution [19:54] charge [19:55] yan [19:55] at sino [19:55] ang sasagot [19:56] yan [19:56] ang sasagot [19:57] yan [19:57] ay yung [19:57] mga [19:58] ibang [19:58] customer [19:59] na [19:59] yung [19:59] captive [20:00] customer [20:00] at yung [20:01] even [20:01] contestable [20:03] mataas [20:03] yung [20:04] distribution [20:04] charge [20:04] dahil [20:05] kokonti [20:05] na lang [20:06] yung sales [20:06] ni [20:07] distribution [20:08] utility [20:08] so yun [20:09] din po [20:09] ang dapat [20:10] nababantayan [20:10] dahil [20:11] yun [20:13] na lang po [20:14] of course [20:15] ang [20:16] position [20:16] lang [20:16] namin [20:17] is [20:17] kung [20:17] meron [20:18] tayong [20:18] flexibility [20:19] maayos [20:19] lang yung [20:20] definition [20:20] ng [20:20] distributed [20:22] generation [20:22] ng netmetering [20:24] yung netmetering [20:26] yung section [20:26] 10 [20:27] maayos [20:27] din po [20:27] at [20:28] kung sa [20:28] off-grid [20:29] kung matanggal [20:30] lang po [20:30] yung [20:30] designation [20:31] chapter 3 [20:32] chapter 4 [20:33] ng [20:33] on-grid [20:34] renewable [20:35] energy [20:35] development [20:36] tapos [20:36] off-grid [20:37] kasi po yung [20:37] section 10 [20:38] nandun sa chapter [20:39] ng on-grid [20:40] kaya [20:40] nung nagsisimula kami [20:41] hindi namin [20:42] ma-decide [20:44] kasama ba [20:45] dito [20:46] ang off-grid [20:46] kasi [20:46] nandun sa chapter [20:47] on-grid [20:49] pero [20:50] pagdating sa [20:51] RPS [20:51] kahit [20:52] yung [20:53] sa section [20:53] 6 [20:53] ng RPS [20:54] nandun din [20:55] meron din [20:55] katumbas [20:56] na provision [20:56] dun sa [20:57] off-grid [20:58] development [20:59] kung [20:59] tanggalin [21:00] na lang [21:00] yung [21:00] pang-chapter [21:01] na yun [21:01] gawin [21:02] na lang [21:02] ang [21:02] renewable [21:03] energy [21:03] development [21:04] masosolve [21:05] po natin [21:06] yun [21:06] at [21:06] may [21:06] encourage [21:07] pa [21:07] natin [21:07] ng [21:07] netmetering [21:08] distributed [21:08] generation [21:09] sa mga [21:10] off-grid [21:10] that will [21:15] suffice [21:16] for the [21:16] initial [21:16] comments [21:17] thank you [21:17] just a [21:19] quick [21:19] remark [21:20] yung mga [21:22] ganito kasing [21:22] technology [21:23] 2008 [21:24] is actually [21:24] 18 years [21:27] ago [21:27] seems like [21:29] yesterday [21:30] lang [21:30] but it [21:31] is 18 [21:32] years [21:32] ago [21:32] so [21:32] it's [21:33] high time [21:33] naman [21:33] that we [21:34] review [21:34] it

palalo [25:08] yung [25:09] rollout [25:10] ng ating [25:10] mga [25:10] net [25:11] metering [25:11] so [25:13] let's [25:14] call [25:14] on [25:14] Mr. [25:17] Antonio [25:17] Almeida [25:18] from [25:19] NIA [25:19] good morning [25:20] ma'am [25:21] yes ma'am [25:24] as far as [25:24] NIA is [25:25] concerned [25:25] we are [25:26] supporting [25:27] Senate [25:27] Bill [25:27] number [25:28] 457 [25:28] as in [25:29] fact [25:29] we have [25:30] a total [25:31] of [25:32] 27 [25:32] kilowatt [25:33] peak [25:33] installed [25:34] in [25:35] our [25:35] building [25:36] and [25:37] with [25:39] some [25:40] additional [25:40] measures [25:41] to save [25:42] electricity [25:42] like [25:43] from [25:43] fluorescent [25:44] we [25:44] changed [25:45] all [25:45] to [25:45] LED [25:46] the [25:47] centralized [25:47] aircon [25:48] system [25:49] we [25:49] changed [25:50] it [25:50] to [25:50] inverter [25:50] type [25:51] package [25:51] or [25:52] window [25:52] type [25:52] ma'am [25:53] from [25:54] 2016 [25:54] our [25:55] average [25:56] electricity [25:56] bill [25:57] is [25:57] at [25:57] 1.4 [25:58] million [25:59] a month [25:59] now [26:00] it's [26:00] only [26:00] down [26:00] to [26:01] 700 [26:01] thousand [26:02] so [26:03] those [26:03] are [26:04] the [26:04] measures [26:04] that [26:04] we [26:05] have [26:05] been [26:05] doing [26:06] and [26:06] although [26:07] we [26:07] have [26:07] a [26:07] limited [26:07] space [26:08] we [26:08] don't [26:08] have [26:08] any [26:09] room [26:10] for [26:10] expansion [26:10] already [26:11] for [26:11] our [26:11] rooftop [26:11] we [26:12] are [26:12] just [26:12] maximizing [26:13] the [26:14] sources [26:17] of [26:17] power [26:17] gained [26:18] from [26:18] the [26:18] renewable [26:19] solar [26:19] system [26:20] regarding [26:26] the [26:28] net [26:28] metering [26:29] I [26:30] would [26:30] like [26:30] to [26:30] report [26:31] in [26:31] this [26:31] committee [26:31] that [26:32] so [26:32] far [26:32] the [26:33] 121 [26:34] electric [26:34] cooperatives [26:35] do [26:35] have [26:35] more [26:36] or [26:36] less [26:36] 5952 [26:38] consumers [26:39] already [26:41] installed [26:42] with a [26:43] total [26:43] kilowatt [26:44] peak [26:44] of [26:44] 66257 [26:47] now we [26:48] are really [26:49] propagating [26:49] the net [26:50] metering [26:50] I think [26:51] it's [26:52] worthy to [26:53] mention [26:53] make mention [26:54] in this [26:55] committee [26:55] ma'am [26:55] in our [26:56] amendments [26:57] that we [26:58] have to [26:58] simplify [26:59] the [27:00] procurement [27:01] of [27:02] licenses [27:02] and [27:03] permits [27:03] in [27:05] the [27:05] local [27:05] government [27:06] units [27:06] I [27:07] think [27:07] I [27:07] for [27:09] whatever [27:10] it's [27:10] worth [27:10] I [27:10] think [27:11] the [27:11] committee [27:11] should [27:12] be [27:12] cognizant [27:13] of [27:13] the [27:13] fact [27:14] that [27:14] the [27:15] permitting [27:15] from [27:16] the [27:17] local [27:17] government [27:18] units [27:18] are [27:19] the [27:19] ones [27:19] delaying [27:20] delaying [27:22] the [27:23] procurement [27:24] or the [27:25] rollout [27:25] of the [27:26] net [27:26] metering [27:26] so if [27:28] our [27:28] position [27:29] ma'am [27:29] especially [27:30] in the [27:31] provinces [27:32] in the [27:33] south [27:33] where in [27:34] the [27:35] LGUs [27:36] really don't [27:37] have any [27:38] expertise [27:39] on net [27:40] metering [27:40] I mean [27:41] I think [27:41] for me [27:42] that is [27:42] something [27:43] that we [27:43] have to [27:44] address [27:44] ma'am [27:45] because [27:45] of course [27:46] safety [27:47] and [27:48] safety [27:50] of the [27:51] installation [27:51] is a [27:53] priority [27:53] and [27:54] sometimes [27:55] the [27:55] LGUs [27:56] in the [27:57] provinces [27:58] do not [27:58] have [27:59] the [27:59] expertise [28:02] to [28:03] evaluate [28:03] and [28:04] that [28:05] leads [28:05] us [28:06] to [28:06] a [28:06] delayed [28:07] issuance [28:07] of [28:08] licenses [28:08] and [28:09] permits [28:09] I think [28:09] the [28:10] committee [28:11] should [28:11] take [28:11] note [28:11] of [28:12] that [28:12] if [28:12] we [28:12] have [28:12] a [28:13] whole [28:13] of [28:13] government [28:13] approach [28:14] to [28:15] address [28:15] this [28:15] so [28:16] that [28:16] net [28:17] metering [28:17] can [28:17] proliferate [28:18] in [28:18] the [28:19] provinces [28:19] I mean [28:22] that's [28:22] one [28:22] example [28:23] that's [28:24] one [28:24] experience [28:24] that [28:25] we [28:25] do [28:25] have [28:25] when [28:25] tin [28:25] tanong [28:26] ko [28:26] po [28:26] mga [28:26] co-op [28:27] bakit [28:28] ang bagal [28:28] niya [28:28] mag [28:28] net [28:29] metering [28:29] sabihin [28:31] na [28:31] sir [28:31] naiipit [28:33] ho [28:33] lahat [28:33] kami [28:34] sa [28:34] procurement [28:34] of [28:35] licenses [28:35] of [28:36] the [28:36] electrical [28:36] building [28:37] officials [28:38] for [28:38] some [28:39] reason [28:39] nagh [28:40] naghahanap [28:41] referral [28:42] ma'am [28:43] hindi [28:43] lahat [28:44] ng [28:44] LGUs [28:45] are [28:45] well [28:45] entrenched [28:46] and [28:46] well [28:46] knowledgeable [28:47] of [28:48] how [28:48] net [28:49] metering [28:50] should [28:50] be [28:51] regulated [28:51] or [28:52] should [28:52] mean [28:52] the [28:53] necessary [28:53] license [28:54] and [28:54] permits [28:54] should [28:54] be [28:55] issued [28:55] so [28:55] is [28:56] this [28:56] can [28:57] I [28:57] get [28:57] the [28:58] input [29:01] of [29:01] DOE [29:02] and [29:03] ERC [29:03] and [29:04] even [29:04] Senator [29:04] Marcoleta [29:05] Pag [29:06] naiimbita [29:07] ako [29:07] sa mga [29:08] DILG [29:09] sponsored [29:11] or hosted [29:12] na mga [29:12] conferences [29:13] iba-iba yung mga [29:14] topic nila [29:15] so [29:15] is this not a [29:17] worthwhile [29:18] topic for them [29:19] to discuss [29:19] if the main [29:22] comment [29:23] normally [29:24] from my [29:24] experience [29:25] and feel free [29:26] to correct me [29:26] if I'm wrong [29:27] everybody [29:27] number one [29:28] it's ignorance [29:29] talagang di nila [29:30] alam [29:31] then it's fear [29:31] because [29:32] whether [29:33] it's [29:34] a [29:34] LG [29:36] official [29:36] who is [29:39] involved [29:39] or may [29:39] kamag-anak [29:40] siyang [29:40] involved [29:40] it's fear [29:41] na [29:41] yung negosyo [29:42] nila [29:42] matatamaan [29:43] but it [29:44] just [29:44] all goes [29:44] back to [29:45] ignorance [29:45] din [29:46] sometimes [29:47] selfish [29:48] motives [29:48] but that's [29:49] why [29:49] I'm [29:50] asking [29:51] what can [29:52] be [29:52] done [29:52] you [29:53] clearly [29:55] mentioned [29:55] the issue [29:56] so [29:56] how do [29:57] we [29:57] move [29:57] forward [29:57] I [29:58] believe [29:58] the [29:58] energy [29:59] family [29:59] already [30:02] manifested [30:03] that [30:04] those [30:06] reasons [30:06] of [30:06] having [30:07] the [30:07] processing [30:08] of [30:08] net [30:09] metering [30:09] being [30:09] stymied [30:09] in the [30:10] LG [30:11] lab [30:11] so [30:13] I [30:14] would [30:14] like [30:14] to [30:14] think [30:15] the [30:17] energy [30:17] family [30:18] would [30:18] be [30:19] willing [30:20] to [30:20] work [30:20] with [30:20] the [30:21] LG [30:21] you [30:21] or [30:21] to [30:22] provide [30:25] expertise [30:26] and [30:26] the [30:27] sufficient [30:28] knowledge [30:28] and [30:28] information [30:29] on how [30:29] to [30:29] go [30:29] about [30:30] the [30:30] net [30:30] metering [30:30] facility [30:31] this is [30:32] December [30:32] this is [30:34] a [30:34] 2026 [30:35] issuance [30:36] and so [30:37] if you [30:37] can just [30:37] imagine [30:38] that [30:38] all the [30:38] agencies [30:39] have [30:39] issuances [30:40] in my [30:40] experience [30:41] health [30:42] education [30:43] sometimes [30:44] they're not [30:45] aware [30:46] especially [30:46] the [30:46] smaller [30:47] LG [30:47] they're [30:48] aware [30:48] on what [30:50] to do [30:50] so [30:51] what [30:51] are you [30:51] doing [30:51] to [30:51] propagate [30:52] this [30:52] because [30:53] you already [30:53] have an [30:53] issuance [30:54] mandating [30:55] maximum [30:55] 10 [30:56] working [30:56] days [30:56] for [30:56] approval [30:57] for [30:58] DUs [30:58] and [30:59] ECs [31:00] and [31:02] then [31:02] LG [31:02] approval [31:03] within [31:03] 3 [31:04] working [31:04] days [31:05] may [31:05] 10 [31:08] working [31:08] days [31:08] may [31:08] 3 [31:08] working [31:09] days [31:09] may [31:09] you [31:10] can [31:10] elaborate [31:10] a bit [31:11] yes [31:12] ma'am [31:12] we did [31:13] sign [31:13] an [31:14] agreement [31:14] with [31:15] the [31:16] DILG [31:16] and [31:17] the [31:17] DPWH [31:18] because [31:18] the [31:19] building [31:20] officials [31:21] they do [31:21] report [31:22] to [31:22] the [31:22] DPWH [31:23] so [31:23] we [31:24] have [31:24] a [31:24] joint [31:25] memorandum [31:27] circular [31:27] where [31:28] we [31:28] already [31:28] highlighted [31:29] what [31:30] are [31:30] the [31:30] requirements [31:31] that [31:31] they [31:31] should [31:32] be [31:32] requiring [31:33] it's [31:34] really [31:34] though [31:34] as [31:35] you [31:35] mentioned [31:35] madam [31:36] chair [31:37] that [31:38] it's [31:38] really [31:38] the [31:39] downloading [31:40] to [31:40] the [31:40] LG [31:42] so [31:42] DILG [31:44] and [31:44] DPWH [31:44] regional [31:45] offices [31:46] are [31:46] helping [31:46] us [31:47] in [31:47] educating [31:48] the [31:49] different [31:50] local [31:51] building [31:51] officials [31:52] on [31:52] what [31:53] the [31:53] requirements [31:53] should [31:54] be [31:54] for [31:54] net [31:54] metering [31:55] it's [31:55] ongoing [31:55] ma'am [31:56] and [31:56] we [31:57] are [31:57] of course [31:58] we [31:58] promise [31:58] to [31:59] even [32:00] fast [32:00] track [32:01] the [32:01] education [32:02] campaign [32:02] on [32:03] this [32:03] matter [32:03] ma'am [32:04] maybe [32:04] maybe [32:04] what [32:04] we [32:04] can [32:05] do [32:05] with [32:05] the [32:05] help [32:06] of [32:06] NEA [32:06] is [32:07] you [32:07] can [32:07] select [32:10] a few [32:10] LGUs [32:11] proponent [32:12] may experience [32:13] sa ibang [32:14] lugar [32:14] maybe [32:15] in the [32:15] cities [32:15] tapos [32:16] they're [32:17] very [32:17] well [32:17] equipped [32:17] they also [32:18] know [32:18] what [32:18] to [32:18] do [32:18] then [32:19] you [32:19] educate [32:19] then [32:20] easy [32:20] to [32:21] find [32:21] out [32:21] if [32:21] responsive [32:24] naman [32:24] ng [32:24] LGU [32:25] then [32:25] you [32:25] use [32:25] as role [32:26] as [32:26] models [32:27] because [32:28] hawa-hawa [32:29] lang [32:29] naman [32:29] yan [32:29] oh [32:31] sila [32:31] may [32:31] ganito [32:31] na [32:31] sila [32:32] tayo [32:32] na [32:32] rin [32:32] may [32:33] iwan [32:33] tayo [32:33] pag [32:33] tayo [32:34] wala [32:34] sila [32:34] meron [32:35] so [32:35] maybe [32:35] we [32:35] can [32:36] do [32:36] that [32:36] no [32:36] and [32:37] if [32:37] there [32:37] are [32:37] already [32:37] a few [32:38] existing [32:38] ones [32:38] let's [32:39] find [32:39] a way [32:39] to [32:40] highlight [32:40] it [32:41] yes [32:42] ma'am [32:42] thank you [32:42] for the [32:43] suggestion [32:43] I think [32:44] NEA is [32:44] critical [32:44] here [32:45] because [32:45] you [32:45] may [32:45] contact [32:46] on [32:46] the [32:46] ground [32:47] with [32:47] a lot [32:47] of [32:48] them [32:48] and [32:48] I [33:01] nangangailangan [33:02] actually ma'am [33:04] to inform [33:05] the committee [33:05] we have [33:06] a pilot [33:07] project [33:08] in the [33:08] Malapasco [33:09] island [33:09] somewhere [33:10] in Cebu [33:11] north of [33:11] Cebu [33:12] that [33:13] experienced [33:14] a power [33:15] crisis [33:16] when the [33:17] diesel [33:19] supplier [33:20] faulted [33:21] and [33:23] we are [33:23] now [33:24] with the [33:25] help of [33:26] the [33:26] professors [33:27] from the [33:27] University [33:28] of the [33:28] Philippines [33:29] we are [33:30] doing a [33:30] pilot [33:30] where [33:31] in all [33:31] hotel [33:32] operators [33:33] would [33:33] put [33:34] rooftop [33:36] solar [33:36] in [33:37] connection [33:38] to [33:39] distribute [33:39] it [33:40] on a [33:40] central [33:41] basis [33:41] for the [33:42] whole [33:42] island [33:42] so [33:44] Professor [33:46] Wally [33:46] Del Mundo [33:46] is [33:47] heading [33:47] the [33:48] design [33:48] and [33:49] once [33:50] we are [33:51] able [33:51] to [33:52] put it [33:52] into [33:52] motion [33:53] we will [33:54] submit [33:54] it [33:54] to [33:54] the [33:54] committee [33:55] for [33:55] reference [33:56] for [33:57] some [33:57] other [33:57] off-grid [34:00] islands [34:01] that [34:01] do not [34:02] have [34:02] space [34:03] for [34:03] ground [34:04] solar [34:05] installations [34:07] I think [34:09] it would [34:10] be DOE [34:10] but [34:10] to [34:12] quickly [34:12] update [34:12] me [34:13] when [34:14] I [34:15] first [34:15] became [34:15] the [34:16] chairman [34:16] of the [34:16] committee [34:16] on [34:17] energy [34:17] and [34:18] I'm [34:19] not [34:19] an [34:19] expert [34:19] so [34:20] I [34:20] was [34:20] happy [34:20] to [34:21] be [34:21] with [34:23] experts [34:23] one [34:24] of [34:24] the [34:24] issues [34:25] raised [34:25] with [34:25] solar [34:25] is [34:26] there [34:27] is [34:27] still [34:28] very [34:28] expensive [34:29] to [34:29] store [34:30] it [34:30] has [34:31] there [34:31] been [34:31] any [34:31] development [34:32] treaty [34:33] so [34:33] as [34:33] we [34:33] talk [34:33] about [34:34] this [34:34] kasi [34:34] excited [34:35] sana [34:35] ako [34:36] kung [34:36] may [34:37] excite [34:37] din [34:37] yung [34:37] mga [34:37] kababayan [34:38] natin [34:38] to [34:38] listen [34:38] to [34:39] it [34:39] so [34:39] when [34:40] they [34:40] hear [34:40] the [34:40] development [34:40] I [34:41] think [34:41] it's [34:41] exciting [34:42] and [34:42] then [34:42] they'll [34:42] find [34:42] out [34:43] na [34:43] but [34:43] hindi [34:44] pa [34:44] rin [34:44] siya [34:44] why [34:46] aren't [34:46] we [34:46] able [34:47] to [34:47] utilize [34:47] solar [34:48] as [34:48] much [34:48] as [34:49] they [34:49] expect [34:49] and [34:50] so [34:50] I [34:50] want [34:50] to [34:50] bring [34:50] up [34:51] this [34:51] issue [34:51] on [34:51] storage [34:52] because [34:52] my [34:53] understanding [34:54] is [34:54] because [34:55] solar [34:55] nga [34:56] araw [34:56] pag [34:56] hindi [34:56] mo [34:57] magagamit [34:59] and [34:59] mahal [34:59] pa [34:59] ang [35:00] storage [35:00] so [35:00] has [35:01] there [35:01] been [35:01] any [35:01] development [35:01] in [35:02] in [35:02] the [35:03] malapasco [35:04] model [35:04] ma'am [35:04] we [35:05] are [35:05] using [35:06] solar [35:07] battery [35:08] storage [35:09] and [35:09] diesel [35:09] it's [35:10] a [35:10] hybridized [35:11] system [35:11] it's [35:12] a [35:12] hybridized [35:13] system [35:13] just [35:14] in [35:14] case [35:14] there [35:14] would [35:14] be [35:15] no [35:15] solar [35:15] energy [35:15] available [35:16] yes [35:19] ma'am [35:19] yes [35:20] ma'am [35:21] peak [35:22] hours [35:22] nang [35:22] araw [35:23] yes [35:23] diesel [35:23] will [35:24] come [35:24] into [35:24] play [35:24] then [35:26] bawasan [35:27] ng [35:27] diesel [35:28] gagamitin [35:28] si [35:29] solar [35:29] actually [35:30] ma'am [35:30] kung [35:30] walang [35:31] araw [35:31] to [35:31] charge [35:32] the [35:32] battery [35:33] it [35:33] will [35:33] be [35:33] the [35:33] diesel [35:34] that [35:34] will [35:34] charge [35:34] the [35:34] battery [35:35] to [35:36] charge [35:36] the [35:36] battery [35:36] for [35:37] storage [35:37] for [35:38] storage [35:38] and [35:39] then [35:39] battery [35:40] will [35:40] be [35:40] the [35:40] one [35:41] to [35:41] dispatch [35:43] capacity [35:44] nung [35:44] battery [35:45] I mean [35:45] is it [35:46] is it [35:46] already [35:46] affordable [35:47] to [35:47] store [35:49] as [35:49] much [35:49] energy [35:50] I [35:50] think [35:50] so [35:51] ma'am [35:51] I [35:55] mean the [35:55] China [35:56] technology [35:56] is in [35:57] that [35:57] these are all [36:02] relative [36:02] eh [36:02] kailangan [36:03] mas specific [36:04] tayo [36:05] na [36:05] what is [36:06] mahal [36:06] what is [36:06] mura [36:07] how much [36:08] would it [36:09] cost [36:09] maybe not [36:10] now [36:10] I just [36:11] wanted to [36:11] get [36:11] did you [36:12] want to [36:12] comment on [36:13] that [36:13] I just [36:13] wanted to [36:13] get a [36:14] clear [36:14] picture [36:14] kasi [36:14] yung [36:14] pagkaalam [36:15] ko [36:15] mahal [36:16] to [36:16] really [36:17] if you're [36:18] going to [36:18] fully [36:18] if you [36:18] want to [36:19] rely [36:19] on [36:19] solar [36:20] you have [36:20] to [36:21] store [36:21] it [36:21] you have [36:22] to [36:22] have [36:22] storage [36:22] capacity [36:23] and [36:23] that [36:23] capacity [36:24] yung [36:25] kunti [36:26] lang [36:26] kaya [36:26] pero [36:27] pag [36:27] marami [36:27] mahal [36:28] Yes [36:29] Madam Chair [36:30] kasi [36:30] you have [36:31] to [36:31] balance [36:31] also [36:32] yung [36:33] cost [36:33] ng [36:33] storage [36:34] kasi [36:34] dahil [36:35] mahal [36:35] ang [36:36] battery [36:36] at [36:37] pagkatapos [36:38] yan [36:38] even [36:38] the [36:39] problem [36:40] of [36:41] disposing [36:41] the [36:41] batteries [36:42] at [36:42] some [36:42] point [36:43] in [36:43] time [36:43] kasi [36:44] waste [36:44] yan [36:45] so [36:46] i-store [36:47] mo kasi [36:47] siya [36:48] dahil [36:48] paggabi [36:49] talaga [36:49] o kaya [36:50] when the [36:50] clouds [36:51] come in [36:51] wala [36:52] may [36:52] interrupt [36:53] yung [36:53] ano [36:53] mo [36:53] so [36:53] gagamit [36:54] ka [36:54] ng [36:55] battery [36:55] so [36:56] ano [36:56] yung [36:56] compensating [36:57] factor [36:58] dito [36:58] gagamit [36:58] ka [36:59] ng [36:59] diesel [36:59] napakamahal [37:00] ng [37:00] diesel [37:01] alam [37:02] ko [37:02] a [37:02] hybrid [37:02] yan [37:03] but [37:03] you [37:04] need [37:04] to [37:04] compute [37:04] and [37:05] present [37:05] to [37:06] the [37:06] committee [37:06] na [37:07] viable [37:07] siya [37:07] talaga [37:08] cost [37:09] wise [37:09] we [37:10] will [37:10] provide [37:14] a [37:14] chance [37:14] to [37:14] present [37:15] and [37:15] we'll [37:15] do [37:16] a [37:16] presentation [37:16] as [37:17] to [37:17] the [37:17] issue [37:18] of [37:19] environmental [37:20] waste [37:20] yes [37:21] we are [37:22] very cognizant [37:23] of that [37:23] and [37:24] we are [37:25] now [37:26] propagating [37:26] the use [37:27] of lead [37:27] carbon [37:28] instead [37:28] of [37:29] lithium [37:29] battery [37:30] which [37:30] do [37:31] not [37:31] have [37:31] any [37:32] which [37:33] is [37:33] disposable [37:34] I [37:34] mean [37:34] lead [37:35] carbon [37:35] is [37:36] recyclable [37:37] so [37:38] even [37:38] with [37:39] our [37:39] photovoltaic [37:40] mainstreaming [37:41] we [37:41] eliminated [37:42] the use [37:42] of [37:43] lithium [37:43] battery [37:43] all [37:44] our [37:45] 50,000 [37:45] installations [37:46] in [37:47] the [37:47] last [37:47] mile [37:47] areas [37:48] are [37:49] all [37:49] lead [37:49] carbon [37:50] which [37:50] is [37:51] more [37:51] which [37:53] is [37:53] which [37:55] has [37:55] more [37:55] life [37:56] cycle [37:57] and [37:58] it [37:58] is [37:58] recyclable [37:59] and [37:59] it [37:59] will [37:59] not [38:00] affect [38:00] any [38:00] environmental [38:01] issue [38:02] in [38:02] the [38:02] future [38:02] I [38:04] hope [38:04] Madam [38:04] Chair [38:05] that [38:05] particular [38:06] program [38:06] should [38:07] also [38:07] be [38:07] replicated [38:08] in [38:09] other [38:09] SPAG [38:10] areas [38:10] kasi [38:11] meron pong [38:13] namumoong [38:13] problema [38:14] some reports [38:15] are reaching [38:16] my [38:16] office [38:16] parang [38:18] in the [38:18] last [38:19] four to [38:19] six [38:19] months [38:20] the [38:20] NAPOCOR [38:20] was unable [38:21] to pay [38:22] off [38:22] the [38:22] IPPs [38:23] in [38:23] these [38:23] SPAG [38:24] areas [38:24] more [38:25] particularly [38:25] Mindoro [38:27] from [38:28] Romblon [38:28] Palawan [38:29] and [38:30] Marinduque [38:31] and [38:32] we are [38:32] cognizant [38:33] of the [38:33] fact [38:34] that [38:34] ang [38:35] pondo [38:35] naman [38:35] ng [38:36] NAPOCOR [38:36] is [38:37] about [38:37] 220 [38:38] billion [38:38] pesos [38:39] so [38:40] yung [38:40] 10 [38:40] billion [38:41] na [38:41] hindi [38:41] nababayar [38:42] ng [38:42] NAPOCOR [38:42] is a [38:43] puzzle [38:45] nakukumplay [38:48] na po [38:48] yung mga [38:48] IPPs [38:49] baka [38:50] dumating [38:51] baka gumising [38:52] na lang tayo [38:53] rotational brownout [38:54] na naman [38:54] samantalang [38:56] may pambayad [38:57] po eh [38:57] may pambayad [38:59] may budget [38:59] galing sa GAA [39:00] maliban pa dun [39:01] sa ating [39:01] walang kamatayang [39:03] universal charts [39:04] na hanggang [39:05] ngayon po [39:06] hindi mga [39:06] graduate [39:07] graduate [39:08] tayo po [39:09] nagsasubsidize [39:10] lahat sa [39:10] bawat [39:11] litro [39:11] ng gasolinang [39:12] ipinanggagatong [39:14] ng mga [39:15] power [39:18] suppliers [39:21] sa mga [39:22] SPAG [39:22] areas [39:23] so yun po [39:25] kasi masakit din [39:26] sa ano nila yun [39:27] kung alimbawa [39:27] isang [39:28] elite na isla [39:28] sa [39:29] Cebu [39:32] okay lang naman yun [39:33] kung papunta na [39:34] kayo doon [39:34] pero [39:35] tingnan din po [39:36] ninyo yung [39:37] similarly [39:38] situated [39:39] areas [39:39] salamat po [39:41] madam [39:41] let me [39:43] recognize [39:44] the presence [39:44] of senator [39:45] Lauren [39:45] Legarda [39:46] would you [39:46] like to [39:46] make a [39:46] statement [39:47] yes [39:47] I'm here [39:48] to [39:48] learn more [39:50] and listen [39:50] and [39:51] yes [39:52] the [39:52] challenge [39:53] as the [39:53] chair has [39:54] mentioned [39:54] to me [39:54] earlier [39:54] when I [39:55] walked in [39:55] would be [39:56] the [39:56] off-grid [39:57] areas [39:57] if we [39:58] want to [39:58] transition [39:59] to [40:00] renewable [40:00] and clean [40:01] energy [40:01] in those [40:01] off-grid [40:02] areas [40:02] but [40:02] do we [40:03] already [40:04] use [40:04] battery [40:05] and how [40:05] do you [40:05] charge [40:06] the [40:06] battery [40:06] if the [40:07] source [40:07] of the [40:08] charging [40:08] will be [40:09] fossil fuel [40:10] or diesel [40:10] di ganun din [40:11] yung pagtawid [40:11] mula mainland [40:12] and I [40:14] noticed [40:14] ang challenge [40:16] talaga [40:16] sa off-grid [40:16] or even [40:17] in the [40:18] off-grid [40:18] but [40:18] yeah [40:19] distant [40:20] kami [40:21] would be [40:22] the [40:23] maintenance [40:23] of [40:24] equipment [40:25] even [40:26] if [40:26] it's [40:26] donated [40:26] from [40:27] the [40:28] private [40:28] sector [40:28] tas [40:29] hindi [40:29] sila [40:29] marunong [40:30] walang [40:31] building [40:31] ng [40:31] capacity [40:32] for [40:32] them [40:32] to [40:32] maintain [40:33] it [40:33] sayang [40:34] yung [40:35] daang-daan [40:35] libo [40:36] or [40:37] million-million [40:37] na [40:37] equipment [40:38] as they [40:38] don't [40:39] know [40:39] or [40:39] even [40:39] theft [40:40] of [40:41] parts [40:41] yun [40:42] so [40:42] maybe [40:43] I [40:43] hate [40:44] to [40:44] open [40:44] my [40:44] statement [40:45] with [40:45] problems [40:46] but [40:46] these [40:47] are [40:47] the [40:47] challenges [40:47] we [40:48] need [40:48] to [40:48] address [40:50] maintenance [40:51] capacity [40:52] building [40:53] of [40:53] LG [40:53] use [40:54] and [40:56] the [40:56] use [40:56] of [40:56] battery [40:57] but [40:57] how [40:57] do [40:57] you [40:58] charge [40:58] the [40:58] battery [40:59] and [40:59] what [40:59] is [40:59] the [40:59] source [40:59] of [41:00] the [41:00] charging [41:00] yes [41:01] I [41:01] just [41:01] put [41:01] that [41:01] on [41:02] the [41:02] table [41:02] thank [41:03] you [41:04] you [41:04] give [41:04] us [41:04] a [41:04] sample [41:05] we [41:07] will [41:07] do [41:07] if [41:08] I [41:08] may [41:09] schedule [41:11] that [41:11] we [41:11] can [41:12] do [41:12] a [41:12] presentation [41:12] yes [41:13] thank [41:13] you [41:13] anyway [41:14] I [41:14] just [41:14] want [41:15] to [41:15] add [41:15] before [41:15] we [41:17] it's [41:18] kind [41:18] of [41:18] technical [41:19] so [41:19] I [41:19] feel [41:20] like [41:20] for [41:21] people [41:21] who [41:21] are [41:21] not [41:21] their [41:23] job [41:23] they [41:23] will [41:24] talk [41:24] on [41:24] topics [41:25] so [41:26] I [41:26] wanted [41:26] to [41:26] share [41:27] something [41:27] exciting [41:28] with [41:28] Senator [41:28] Loren [41:29] attention [41:30] it's [41:33] my [41:33] job [41:33] to [41:34] try [41:34] to [41:34] help [41:34] my [41:35] colleagues [41:35] be [41:35] healthy [41:36] so [41:37] we [41:37] walked [41:38] in [41:38] Senator [41:38] Loren [41:39] and [41:39] then [41:39] last [41:39] night [41:40] I [41:40] came [41:40] across [41:40] a [41:41] very [41:41] interesting [41:42] video [41:42] my [41:43] sport [41:43] now [41:43] is [41:43] High Rock [41:44] so [41:44] if [41:44] no [41:44] relation [41:45] may relation [41:45] yung [41:46] sasabihin [41:46] ko [41:46] High Rock [41:47] is this [41:47] one of [41:48] the fastest [41:49] growing sport [41:49] where you [41:50] run [41:50] and then [41:50] you lift [41:51] weights [41:51] blah blah [41:51] blah [41:52] so [41:52] I saw [41:53] this video [41:54] where [41:54] this very [41:56] innovative [41:56] people [41:57] are now [41:59] harnessing the [42:00] energy [42:00] created in [42:01] the gym [42:01] by people [42:02] so while [42:03] they're biking [42:04] like [42:04] simple [42:05] connect [42:05] they're [42:06] like [42:06] they can [42:06] do [42:07] and [42:07] then [42:07] it [42:08] can [42:08] power [42:09] the [42:09] energy [42:11] generated [42:11] in that [42:12] gym [42:12] by people [42:12] who are [42:12] just [42:13] exercising [42:13] can [42:13] power [42:14] 5,000 [42:14] homes [42:15] really [42:16] I don't [42:17] understand [42:17] I have to [42:18] interpolate [42:18] you [42:18] what is [42:19] the power [42:20] I have to [42:21] ask the [42:21] chair [42:22] is it [42:22] against [42:22] the rules [42:23] no it's [42:23] not [42:23] I need [42:24] to be [42:24] enlightened [42:24] what is [42:25] the power [42:26] of an [42:27] athlete [42:27] like you [42:27] okay [42:28] in a [42:28] gym [42:28] all I can [42:29] say [42:30] is more [42:30] than [42:31] your [42:31] power [42:31] that is [42:34] not even [42:34] to be [42:35] discussed [42:35] or [42:36] there's [42:36] no [42:36] question [42:37] diba [42:37] sabi ko [42:38] 8 kilometers [42:39] 4 lang [42:39] ako [42:39] half lang [42:40] ako [42:40] ni Pia [42:40] masaya [42:41] na [42:41] ako [42:41] okay [42:41] but [42:42] levity [42:44] aside [42:44] what is [42:45] the power [42:46] of an [42:46] energy [42:48] of the [42:49] energy [42:49] of a [42:50] person [42:50] in a [42:51] gym [42:51] human [42:52] energy [42:53] that's [42:53] very [42:53] can do [42:57] it [42:57] because [42:57] if you [42:58] recall [42:58] even [42:58] years [42:59] ago [42:59] you [42:59] would [43:00] even [43:00] before [43:00] the [43:01] time [43:01] of [43:01] the [43:01] all [43:02] this [43:02] viral [43:02] kahit [43:03] nung [43:03] hindi [43:03] pa [43:03] no [43:03] viral [43:04] you [43:04] would [43:04] see [43:05] in [43:05] colleges [43:06] or [43:06] wherever [43:07] in [43:07] our [43:07] own [43:08] in [43:08] I [43:09] don't [43:10] think [43:10] it was [43:10] Wives [43:11] but [43:11] the [43:11] other [43:12] Western [43:13] Visayas [43:13] University [43:14] they showed [43:16] me [43:16] yung [43:16] nagba-bike [43:16] lang [43:17] simple [43:17] lang [43:17] nagba-bike [43:18] lang [43:18] tapos [43:18] magpo-convert [43:19] yun [43:19] but [43:20] pag-bike [43:22] kahit [43:23] ngayon lang [43:23] i-google [43:24] mo [43:24] makikita [43:25] mo [43:25] makikita [43:25] nyo [43:25] tapos [43:26] i-flash [43:26] natin [43:27] dyan [43:27] yung [43:27] magba-bike [43:28] lang [43:28] tapos [43:28] nakakonect [43:29] maraming [43:30] ganon [43:31] again [43:32] clarify [43:32] nangakala [43:35] ko kasi [43:35] doon sa [43:36] gym [43:36] baka [43:37] doon [43:37] dahil sa [43:37] marami [43:38] silang [43:38] nananakbo [43:39] halimbawa [43:40] yung [43:40] naharnessed [43:42] nila [43:42] siguro [43:43] yung [43:43] maramihan [43:45] nilang [43:45] pagtakbo [43:46] although [43:47] hindi [43:47] sabay-sabay [43:48] hindi ko [43:48] alam [43:48] paano [43:48] 15,000 [43:51] homes [43:51] wow [43:52] unless [43:54] naduling [43:54] ako [43:54] na [43:54] kasi [43:55] gabi [43:55] na yun [43:55] baka [43:55] 500 [43:56] doesn't [43:56] matter [43:56] right [43:57] kahit [43:57] na [43:57] 50 [43:57] homes [43:58] na [43:58] hindi [43:59] na [44:00] pero [44:00] kahit [44:00] na [44:00] di ba [44:01] kahit [44:01] na [44:01] I wish [44:02] I saved [44:03] it [44:03] it was [44:03] so late [44:04] at night [44:04] when I saw [44:04] it [44:04] I remember [44:07] distinctly [44:08] in one [44:08] of my [44:08] visits [44:09] to [44:09] to [44:11] to the [44:14] Visayas [44:14] I can't [44:15] remember [44:15] which [44:15] university [44:16] meron silang [44:17] dinisplay [44:18] na ganoon [44:18] habang [44:19] nagbabike [44:19] and that's [44:19] very common [44:20] that one [44:20] is not [44:21] even new [44:21] madam chair [44:22] to answer [44:32] senator [44:32] lawrence [44:32] question [44:33] typical [44:34] power [44:34] ranges [44:35] in the [44:35] gym [44:35] light [44:36] activity [44:36] walking [44:37] so [44:37] kaya [44:37] mo yun [44:38] it will [44:38] generate [44:39] 50 [44:39] to [44:39] 150 [44:40] watts [44:41] hindi nga [44:41] sinabi [44:41] kong [44:41] how long [44:42] baka [44:42] naman [44:42] tatlong [44:43] oras [44:43] but I [44:43] don't [44:43] know [44:44] moderate [44:44] exercise [44:45] including [44:46] steady [44:46] jogging [44:47] or [44:48] lifting [44:49] 150 [44:50] to [44:50] 300 [44:51] watts [44:51] intense [44:52] effort [44:52] hard [44:53] cycling [44:53] and [44:54] sprinting [44:54] 300 [44:55] to [44:55] 600 [44:55] watts [44:56] and [44:56] then [44:57] short [44:57] burst [44:57] yung [44:58] short [45:00] burst [45:00] the example [45:00] here [45:01] is [45:01] heavy [45:01] lifting [45:01] and [45:02] sprints [45:02] 700 [45:03] to [45:03] 1,500 [45:04] watts [45:05] so [45:06] there [45:06] but [45:07] how [45:07] do [45:07] you [45:07] gather [45:08] that [45:09] action [45:10] into [45:11] energy [45:11] yes [45:12] example [45:12] that's [45:13] what [45:13] I'm [45:13] asking [45:14] and [45:15] because [45:15] like I [45:15] said [45:15] aking [45:16] gustong [45:17] malama [45:17] kasi [45:18] nung [45:18] sinasabi [45:18] mo [45:19] yung [45:19] 5,000 [45:20] homes [45:20] madam [45:21] chair [45:21] nakita [45:22] ko [45:22] yung [45:22] representative [45:23] ng [45:23] meral [45:23] ko [45:24] nalungkot [45:25] siya [45:25] bakit [45:25] kamo [45:26] can you [45:27] imagine [45:27] 5,000 [45:28] homes [45:28] mga [45:29] limang [45:30] villages [45:30] po [45:30] yun [45:31] na malalaki [45:32] at [45:33] kapag [45:33] yung [45:34] limang [45:34] villages [45:35] na yun [45:35] na malalaki [45:36] hindi [45:36] nakukuha [45:37] ng [45:37] energy [45:38] sa [45:38] meral [45:38] ko [45:39] eh [45:40] let's [45:58] move on [45:59] while my [45:59] staff [46:00] looks at [46:00] it [46:00] kasi [46:00] I want [46:01] to prove [46:01] to [46:02] senator [46:02] Lauren [46:02] that [46:03] her [46:03] one [46:04] hour [46:04] of [46:04] walking [46:04] is [46:05] enough [46:06] to [46:06] do [46:06] something [46:07] whether [46:07] may [46:07] makakaluto [46:08] dun [46:08] sa [46:08] ginawa [46:09] niya [46:09] may [46:09] isang [46:10] nanay [46:11] na [46:11] maayos [46:12] na [46:12] yung [46:12] buhok [46:12] niya [46:13] yung [46:13] kuryente [46:13] ng [46:14] kanyang [46:14] plancha [46:15] yung [46:16] refrigerator [46:18] niya [46:19] ano yung [46:19] syensya [46:20] ng pag [46:21] lakad mo [46:22] na [46:22] walong [46:23] kilometro [46:24] kagabi [46:24] paano mo [46:25] in-extract [46:26] yung [46:26] energia [46:27] o yun [46:28] I've seen [46:28] it on a [46:29] bike [46:29] and then [46:29] may parang [46:30] storage [46:31] na ganoon [46:31] so I [46:32] would think [46:32] it's on [46:33] a treadmill [46:33] otherwise [46:34] ikaw yung [46:35] kakabitan [46:35] ng [46:36] show nyo [46:41] pero hindi pa [46:42] yan yung [46:42] nakita ko [46:43] hindi pa [46:43] yan yung [46:44] nakita ko [46:44] show nyo [46:45] pag walking [46:46] sa forest [46:46] or sa [46:47] may [46:47] meron kang [46:48] battery store [46:49] ang galing [46:50] ang galing [46:51] di ba [46:51] maybe the [46:56] first [46:56] pins [47:01] kasi nga [47:02] nangyayari [47:03] naman siya [47:03] may technology [47:05] tayo [47:05] sure ako [47:06] which agency [47:08] dapat alam [47:08] DOST [47:11] next hearing [47:12] natin [47:12] with DOST [47:13] on the record [47:15] anyone [47:16] present here [47:17] you're not [47:17] familiar [47:18] on how [47:19] to gather [47:20] store [47:21] transmit [47:22] energy [47:23] from [47:24] humans [47:25] activities [47:26] anyone [47:26] here [47:27] and you [47:27] don't have [47:28] to say [47:28] you don't [47:29] know it [47:30] because [47:30] I don't [47:30] know it [47:31] as well [47:31] kung di [47:32] pa [47:32] natin [47:32] alam [47:32] alamin [47:33] natin [47:34] sa R&D [47:36] DOST [47:37] you know [47:38] if I'm not [47:39] mistaken [47:40] there are a lot [47:51] of [47:51] conversion [47:52] po na pwedeng [47:53] gamitin [47:53] doon sa [47:54] pag-gather [47:54] o pag-develop [47:55] ng electrical [47:55] one is [47:56] the mechanical [47:57] wherein you [47:59] use your [47:59] bicycle [48:00] or you [48:01] kasi po [48:02] pwede pong [48:02] connectan [48:03] ng lagyan [48:03] ng magnet [48:04] lagyan [48:04] ng war [48:05] yung [48:07] cycle [48:08] na yun [48:08] na habang [48:09] bumibilis [48:09] po [48:09] is [48:10] nagkakaro [48:10] ng [48:11] mechanical [48:11] energy [48:12] and you [48:12] convert [48:13] that [48:13] with [48:13] the [48:13] electrical [48:14] using [48:15] that [48:15] magnet [48:15] and [48:15] wire [48:16] and you [48:16] develop [48:16] electricity [48:17] and [48:18] usually [48:19] malilit [48:20] lang [48:20] naman po [48:20] ito [48:20] nabanggit [48:21] po [48:21] ni [48:21] Senator [48:21] Pia [48:21] kanina [48:22] is [48:22] in terms [48:22] of [48:22] watts [48:23] lang [48:23] mga [48:23] ilaw [48:24] lang [48:24] kadalasan [48:24] pero [48:25] kapag [48:25] marami [48:25] po [48:26] ay [48:26] makakabuo [48:27] ng [48:27] for [48:28] one [48:29] household [48:29] the other [48:30] one [48:30] po [48:30] is [48:30] yung [48:30] tinatapakan [48:31] is [48:32] piezoelectric [48:33] ibig sabihin [48:33] naman po [48:34] is once [48:34] tinatapakan [48:35] mo isang [48:35] system [48:35] dumiin [48:37] halibawa [48:37] naglakad [48:38] po [48:38] kayo [48:38] ay [48:38] nagkakaroon [48:39] din po [48:40] ng [48:40] energy [48:41] kinetic [48:42] energy [48:42] din po [48:43] yun [48:43] then you [48:43] can also [48:44] convert [48:44] that [48:45] to [48:45] electrical [48:45] po [48:45] so [48:46] yun [48:46] po [48:46] yung [48:46] mga [48:47] two [48:47] Diba [48:48] delikado [48:49] makuryente [48:49] naman [48:49] yung [48:50] tao [48:50] na [48:50] pinagkukuha [48:51] na [48:51] ng [48:51] enerhiya [48:52] Ano [48:53] man [48:53] yung [48:53] safety [48:53] doon [48:54] Bali [48:54] po [48:55] may [48:55] platform [48:56] na [48:56] siyang [48:57] tatapakan [48:58] hindi po [48:58] directly [48:59] na yung [48:59] human being [49:00] po yung [49:01] nakakonect [49:02] sa kanyang [49:02] wire [49:03] so [49:03] the proper [49:04] wiring [49:04] naman pa rin [49:05] po [49:05] Alada [49:08] sabi dito [49:09] again to answer [49:09] Senator Lauren's [49:10] question [49:11] storing energy [49:12] from a bike [49:13] involves [49:14] converting [49:14] mechanical [49:15] engineers [49:16] sino engineer [49:17] dito [49:17] tasang kamay [49:18] o yun [49:19] kayo [49:20] kaya [49:20] kaya nyo to [49:21] storing energy [49:22] from a bike [49:23] involves converting [49:24] mechanical [49:25] pedaling [49:26] energy [49:26] into electricity [49:27] using [49:28] a generator [49:29] like a [49:30] motor [49:30] or [49:31] alternator [49:31] and storing [49:32] it in a [49:33] battery [49:33] often a [49:34] car [49:34] or deep [49:35] cycle [49:35] battery [49:36] using a [49:37] charge [49:37] controller [49:38] to manage [49:39] the flow [49:39] and prevent [49:40] damage [49:40] this energy [49:41] can then [49:42] power [49:43] usb [49:43] devices [49:44] 12 volt [49:45] appliances [49:46] or home [49:47] items [49:48] via an [49:48] inverter [49:49] parang [49:50] it's not so [49:50] complicated [49:51] naman [49:51] diba [49:51] so [49:52] anyway [49:53] it's [49:54] exciting [49:54] because [49:55] you know [49:57] humans [49:58] produce [49:59] so much [50:00] energy [50:00] so [50:01] why don't [50:02] we [50:02] utilize [50:02] ang dami [50:03] meron pa dito [50:04] i won't [50:04] show it [50:04] na [50:05] pero may [50:05] diy [50:06] experiment [50:06] all about [50:07] human [50:07] energy [50:08] and i'm [50:09] showing [50:09] senator [50:09] lauren [50:10] that's [50:10] the [50:10] bike [50:11] that's [50:11] the [50:11] bike [50:11] so [50:12] habang [50:13] gumagalaw [50:15] yung [50:15] wheels [50:15] kinukuha [50:16] niya [50:17] na yung [50:17] energy [50:17] madam chair [50:18] with your [50:19] permission [50:19] what's your [50:21] name [50:21] ikaw na [50:22] ang focal [50:22] okay [50:23] please [50:23] research [50:23] yeah [50:24] you're [50:25] an [50:25] engineer [50:25] you're [50:25] with [50:26] ERC [50:26] reach [50:29] out to [50:30] the [50:30] OST [50:31] the [50:31] RND [50:32] just [50:32] be ready [50:33] kindly [50:33] give us [50:34] a [50:34] memo [50:35] on [50:36] does it [50:36] exist [50:37] in the [50:37] Philippines [50:37] baka may [50:38] gumagawang [50:38] SUC [50:39] baka may [50:39] NGO [50:39] na gumagawa [50:40] kung hindi [50:40] simulan [50:41] nyo [50:41] ng do-it [50:43] yourself [50:43] na doable [50:44] na hindi [50:45] capital [50:45] intensive [50:46] mag-memo [50:47] ka sa [50:47] chair [50:47] for [50:48] submission [50:48] of [50:48] ERC [50:49] stationery [50:59] bike [50:59] pala [50:59] ito [50:59] hindi [51:00] yung [51:00] nagbabike [51:00] ka [51:01] na [51:01] paikot [51:01] sa [51:01] plaza [51:02] ito [51:02] pala [51:03] tama [51:04] siya [51:04] yung [51:04] kinetic [51:05] energy [51:05] supplied [51:06] by [51:06] gym [51:06] cycling [51:07] can [51:08] be [51:08] translated [51:09] into [51:09] usable [51:09] electric [51:10] energy [51:11] involving [51:12] a [51:12] specialized [51:13] stationary [51:14] bike [51:14] equipped [51:15] with [51:15] generator [51:16] ito [51:17] yung [51:17] dynamo [51:17] meron [51:18] siyang [51:18] dynamo [51:18] to convert [51:20] rotational [51:21] movement [51:23] into [51:23] electrical [51:24] power [51:24] so [51:25] ano [51:25] siya [51:25] hindi siya [51:25] stationary [51:27] talaga [51:27] at palagay ko [51:29] tama-tama [51:30] yun [51:30] lalo na [51:31] kung marami [51:32] sama-sama [51:32] sila [51:33] kaya lang [51:35] babayaran natin [51:36] sila [51:37] kaya [51:38] sino ba [51:39] magpapagod [51:40] ng [51:40] kapipidal [51:40] naman [51:41] ng ganun [51:41] wala [51:41] sa [51:41] gym [51:42] kahit [51:44] kalahati [51:44] lang [51:44] why not [51:47] para kami [51:48] nagsusukli [51:48] yan [51:48] makikipag [51:50] netmetering [51:50] ako ngayon [51:51] sa sarili [51:51] kong [51:53] gym [51:54] anyway [51:55] there's a [51:55] quick video [51:56] here [51:56] this is [51:57] the rustic [51:58] version [51:58] and then [51:59] I'll tell [51:59] my team [52:00] to show [52:00] you [52:00] the [52:01] just [52:02] anyway [52:02] obviously [52:03] it looks [52:03] very rustic [52:04] it doesn't [52:04] even look [52:04] like a [52:05] bike [52:05] it looks [52:05] more [52:05] like [52:06] a [52:06] scooter [52:07] but let's [52:07] let's [52:08] play [52:08] it [52:08] or [52:08] video [52:09] yan [52:10] diba [52:10] men [52:10] from [52:10] india [52:11] are [52:11] in [52:11] generating [52:12] electricity [52:13] by pedaling [52:14] a modified [52:15] bicycle [52:15] to power [52:16] a generator [52:17] they can [52:17] also turn [52:18] on a [52:18] water [52:19] pump [52:19] used [52:19] for [52:20] agriculture [52:20] in their [52:21] area [52:21] look [52:23] how [52:23] creative [52:23] these [52:24] young [52:24] men [52:24] from [52:25] india [52:25] are [52:25] in [52:26] generating [52:26] electricity [52:27] by pedaling [52:28] a modified [52:29] bicycle [52:30] to power [52:30] a generator [52:31] oh and then [52:34] I have [52:34] another one [52:35] I have [52:35] another one [52:36] can you [52:36] show it [52:37] anyway [52:39] while we're [52:40] loading it [52:40] I saw [52:40] this futuristic [52:41] movie [52:42] many many [52:42] years ago [52:43] yung trabaho [52:45] ng lahat [52:46] ng citizens [52:46] nandun sila [52:48] sa parang [52:48] gym [52:48] and they [52:49] cannot leave [52:50] until they [52:50] generate [52:51] x amount [52:51] of power [52:52] that's like [52:53] the rank [52:54] and file [52:54] entry level [52:56] but this [52:57] is the [52:58] high-tech [52:58] version [52:59] okay [52:59] so yung [53:00] kanina [53:00] medyo [53:01] low [53:01] ano [53:02] low [53:03] low [53:04] easy [53:04] easy [53:04] to put [53:05] together [53:05] but look [53:06] at this [53:06] this is [53:06] in japan [53:07] and this [53:08] is [53:08] this [53:08] answers [53:08] your [53:08] question [53:09] also [53:09] pano [53:09] ma [53:10] degenerate [53:10] yung [53:10] paglakad [53:11] sa labas [53:11] so this [53:11] one [53:12] you don't [53:12] have [53:12] to be [53:12] in the [53:12] gym [53:13] but they [53:13] had [53:13] to [53:13] install [53:14] some [53:15] high-tech [53:16] material [53:16] to be [53:17] able [53:17] to [53:17] capture [53:18] let's [53:18] play [53:19] the [53:19] video [53:19] great [53:20] electricity [53:20] simply [53:21] by [53:21] walking [53:21] in [53:22] Tokyo [53:22] special [53:23] black [53:23] tiles [53:23] have [53:23] been [53:24] installed [53:24] along [53:24] many [53:24] walking [53:25] paths [53:25] each [53:26] time [53:26] someone [53:26] steps [53:26] on [53:33] is made [53:33] possible [53:34] by a [53:34] smart [53:34] technology [53:35] called [53:35] piezo [53:36] electricity [53:36] just [53:37] one [53:37] step [53:37] can [53:37] generate [53:38] enough [53:38] power [53:38] to [53:38] light [53:39] up [53:39] 10 [53:39] bulbs [53:39] for [53:39] 20 [53:40] seconds [53:40] Japan [53:41] is [53:41] living [53:41] in [53:41] 2050 [53:42] the [53:42] Japanese [53:43] generate [53:43] electricity [53:44] simply [53:44] by [53:44] walking [53:45] okay [53:47] madam chair [53:48] may ambag na [53:49] ako sa [53:50] ating topic [53:51] ngayon [53:52] an average [53:53] person [53:54] can generate [53:55] 50 to 100 [53:56] watts [53:57] of power [53:57] per hour [53:58] pala [53:59] such as [53:59] cycling [54:00] machines [54:00] which you [54:01] do [54:01] and a [54:02] full spin [54:02] class [54:03] nag spin [54:04] ka [54:04] hindi ko [54:04] kaya yan [54:05] can [54:05] produce [54:06] 2 to [54:06] 3 [54:06] thousand [54:07] watts [54:08] per [54:08] hour [54:09] so [54:10] yeah [54:11] that's so [54:12] encouraging [54:12] and [54:13] our [54:14] agencies [54:14] can help [54:15] that's why [54:15] that's why [54:16] pinopromote ko dun sa staff ko [54:18] tas si senator [54:19] loren kasi nga [54:20] since we walk together [54:21] sabi ko sa [54:22] sa buong staff niya [54:23] mag work out sila [54:24] yun yung effect nun [54:25] if they all did this [54:26] ang contribution nun [54:28] is [54:28] ilaw [54:29] and then [54:29] masosolve yung [54:30] yung dream bill [54:32] ni senator [54:32] marcoleta [54:34] na ito na [54:35] yung lifeline [54:36] o yun na [54:36] yung light bulb [54:37] yung basic [54:38] sabi nyo nga [54:38] light bulb [54:39] pero yun lang [54:40] naman yung basic [54:40] na binibigay natin [54:41] so at least [54:42] makover man lang yun [54:43] and then [54:44] so on and so forth [54:45] anyway [54:45] last version [54:46] then let's move back [54:47] to our resource persons [54:48] so ito [54:49] they're in the middle [54:49] of nature [54:50] you know that [54:50] stand [54:52] most bikers [54:53] have that [54:53] I have that [54:54] in my house [54:54] that stand [54:55] it measures [54:56] my output [54:58] so [54:58] ang mangyayari lang dun [54:59] kakabitan lang yun [55:00] nung [55:01] receptacle [55:02] of the [55:03] storage [55:03] but we have [55:04] we have those [55:05] stands [55:06] is that a video [55:07] or is that a [55:08] are you showing [55:09] today [55:10] I'm going to show [55:11] you how to make [55:11] one of these [55:12] a bike power [55:13] generator [55:14] there are many ways [55:15] to make a bike [55:16] power generator [55:17] but here's how [55:18] I made mine [55:18] I used an old [55:19] bike trainer [55:20] a car alternator [55:21] a deep cycle [55:22] battery [55:23] some leftover [55:24] Romex wire [55:24] and scrap 4x4 [55:26] I started by [55:27] removing the [55:27] roller mechanism [55:28] of the bike [55:29] trainer that creates [55:30] resistance [55:30] while pedaling [55:31] we definitely [55:32] don't want [55:33] that [55:33] then I replaced [55:36] the mechanism [55:36] with a 4x4 [55:37] with a little [55:39] hand carving [55:40] it fits perfectly [55:41] in place [55:41] and I highly [55:44] recommend hand carving [55:45] because it's [55:46] definitely good [55:47] for you [55:47] well unless you [55:49] hit your knee [55:50] with the chisel [55:50] then it's [55:51] probably not [55:52] next I plan [55:54] to reuse the [55:55] bolts from the [55:56] roller mechanism [55:56] to hold the [55:57] 4x4 in place [55:58] so I marked [55:59] and drilled out [56:00] the holes [56:00] and attached [56:02] the floor [56:02] and watch it [56:03] on your own [56:04] let's just look [56:04] at the end [56:05] the end result [56:06] after that [56:07] I went to move [56:07] my bike into place [56:08] only to realize [56:09] the 4x4 was a bit [56:10] high [56:11] so I trimmed it [56:11] down and got [56:12] my bike to fit [56:13] with the bike [56:15] in place [56:15] I was able to [56:16] find the position [56:16] the alternator [56:17] I did find out [56:18] rubber tires [56:19] and metal pulleys [56:20] don't get along [56:21] but more on that [56:22] later [56:22] negative of the [56:24] battery [56:24] that was it [56:25] probably not the [56:26] smartest way to do [56:27] that but it [56:27] looks fun [56:28] and if I'm pedaling [56:29] and that dial [56:30] ain't moving over [56:30] for my dad's [56:31] stockpile of [56:32] random ones [56:33] he accumulated [56:33] over the years [56:34] so I went to his [56:35] house and took [56:36] the other [56:36] well with pulleys [56:38] I thought eliminating [56:38] the belt [56:39] and doing straight [56:40] contact would be [56:41] an intelligent idea [56:42] but unless we keep [56:44] getting rain [56:44] it might be a while [56:46] before I fix this [56:46] generator [56:47] as always [56:48] thank you for [56:49] watching [56:49] I hope you guys [56:50] are staying safe [56:51] out there [56:51] and making the best [56:52] of this like I am [56:53] also a huge [56:55] thank you to my [56:55] patrons [56:56] and other than that [56:57] okay I'll share [56:59] that with you [56:59] thank you everyone [57:00] I hope that was [57:01] interesting [57:02] gusto ko lang [57:03] kasi maging [57:04] exciting yung [57:04] topic natin [57:05] sa mga kababayan [57:06] natin [57:06] so sana na [57:08] achieve natin [57:08] yun kasi [57:08] balik na tayo [57:09] dun sa boring [57:10] but necessary [57:11] discussions [57:12] natin [57:13] and it's not [57:14] a diss to you [57:14] I mean [57:15] it's just [57:16] technical [57:16] so that's [57:17] just how [57:17] our life [57:18] is [57:18] okay so [57:19] DPWH [57:20] H na tayo [57:20] and then [57:21] after DPWH [57:22] we'll go [57:23] to DILG [57:23] for DPWH [57:24] we have [57:25] Mr. Jason [57:27] Margaglio [57:27] good morning [57:29] Madam Chair [57:29] the DPWH [57:33] strongly supports [57:34] this various [57:36] Senate bills [57:36] initiative [57:37] and the DPWH [57:39] commits [57:39] its technical [57:40] expertise [57:41] and resources [57:42] to ensure [57:43] the successful [57:43] adoption [57:44] of renewable [57:45] energy [57:45] technologies [57:46] in government [57:47] buildings [57:48] and offices [57:48] through strategic [57:50] planning [57:50] capacity building [57:52] and collaboration [57:53] DPWH [57:54] aims to [57:55] contribute [57:55] significantly [57:56] to the [57:57] country's [57:57] sustainable [57:58] development [57:58] and energy [58:00] security goals [58:01] Madam Chair [58:02] DPWH [58:04] also proposes [58:05] the following [58:06] initiatives [58:06] for the [58:07] inclusion [58:07] in the [58:08] policy [58:08] framework [58:09] number one [58:11] the mandatory [58:12] structural [58:12] integrity [58:13] assessment [58:14] of all [58:15] existing [58:15] government [58:16] buildings [58:17] prior to [58:18] installation [58:18] of solar [58:19] PVs [58:20] I just [58:20] interrupt you [58:21] right there [58:22] I'll send [58:23] the message [58:23] to [58:23] Secretary [58:24] Vince [58:25] Dizon [58:26] but maybe [58:27] DPWH [58:28] can already [58:28] work with [58:29] a number [58:32] of government [58:33] agencies [58:34] to be the [58:34] model [58:35] like [58:35] sabi nyo nga [58:36] sa office nyo [58:36] baka you can [58:37] share what [58:38] you've done [58:38] and then [58:39] pili na tayo [58:39] ng ilan [58:40] kasi [58:40] kung haantayin [58:41] natin [58:41] na i-assess [58:42] nyo [58:42] isa-isa [58:43] piliin nyo [58:44] na yung [58:44] alam nyo [58:45] medyo [58:45] bago-bago [58:45] yung building [58:46] unahan [58:46] na natin [58:47] so let's [58:48] do that [58:48] so that [58:48] we can [58:49] see [58:50] everything [58:51] move along [58:52] quickly [58:52] okay go ahead [58:53] number two [58:56] for the [58:57] new and [58:58] proposed [58:59] government [58:59] buildings [59:00] the DPWH [59:01] strongly [59:02] abdocates [59:02] the mandatory [59:03] integration [59:04] of solar [59:05] PV system [59:06] as part [59:07] of the [59:07] base [59:08] design [59:08] incorporating [59:10] the system [59:11] at the [59:11] planning [59:12] and design [59:12] stage [59:12] ensures the [59:13] optimal [59:14] orientation [59:14] structural [59:16] readiness [59:16] and avoiding [59:17] limitations [59:17] and additional [59:18] costs [59:19] associated [59:20] with [59:20] retrofitting [59:21] number three [59:23] madam [59:23] chair [59:23] provisions [59:24] of [59:24] battery [59:25] energy [59:26] storage [59:26] systems [59:27] may [59:28] likewise [59:28] be [59:29] incorporated [59:29] in the [59:30] base [59:30] design

this [1:07:25] is [1:07:25] this [1:07:26] is [1:07:26] in [1:07:26] an [1:07:28] offshoot [1:07:29] from [1:07:29] the [1:07:30] circular [1:07:31] ma'am [1:07:31] so [1:07:32] it [1:07:32] presupposes [1:07:33] that [1:07:33] they [1:07:33] already [1:07:34] have [1:07:34] a [1:07:34] building [1:07:34] permit [1:07:35] so [1:07:37] the [1:07:38] other [1:07:38] requirements [1:07:39] that [1:07:40] are [1:07:40] that [1:07:41] have [1:07:42] several [1:07:42] days [1:07:43] is [1:07:43] already [1:07:43] that [1:07:44] they [1:07:45] clear [1:07:45] from [1:07:45] the [1:07:45]

[1:08:14] is [1:08:15] also [1:08:15] for [1:08:15] capacity [1:08:16] building [1:08:16] and [1:08:16] information [1:08:17] talaga [1:08:17] the [1:08:18] public [1:08:18] needs [1:08:18] to [1:08:18] know [1:08:19] bakit [1:08:19] kailangan [1:08:20] ng [1:08:20] building [1:08:20] permit [1:08:21] bakit [1:08:21] kailangan [1:08:22] and [1:08:22] daming [1:08:22] permit [1:08:23] for

[1:08:34] don't [1:08:34] know [1:08:34] anything [1:08:34] like [1:08:34] may [1:08:35] building [1:08:35] permit [1:08:35] kailangan [1:08:36] but [1:08:37] I'm [1:08:37] just [1:08:37] curious [1:08:38] I [1:08:41] understand [1:08:41] when you [1:08:41] say [1:08:42] for [1:08:42] the [1:08:42] old [1:08:42] structures [1:08:43] but [1:08:43] is [1:08:44] there [1:08:44] a [1:08:45] way [1:08:45] to [1:08:45] predetermine [1:08:46] based [1:08:47] on [1:08:48] every [1:08:48] home [1:08:50] built [1:08:51] of [1:08:51] concrete [1:08:51] as of [1:08:52] this [1:08:52] date [1:08:53]

distributors [1:09:57] of [1:09:57] solar [1:09:57] panels [1:09:58] would [1:09:59] know [1:09:59] na [1:09:59] hindi [1:10:00] naman [1:10:00] niya [1:10:00] pwedeng [1:10:00] ibenta [1:10:01] yan

may [1:10:10] standards [1:10:11] tayong [1:10:11] madidevelop [1:10:12] to [1:10:12] expedite [1:10:13] the [1:10:13] process [1:10:14] just [1:10:14] yun [1:10:14] lang [1:10:14] naman [1:10:15] point [1:10:15] natin [1:10:15] to [1:10:15] expedite [1:10:16] without [1:10:16] compromising [1:10:19] safety [1:10:20] yes [1:10:21] madam [1:10:21] chair [1:10:21] based [1:10:22] on the [1:10:22] consultation [1:10:23] meetings [1:10:23] that we [1:10:24] conducted [1:10:24] in the [1:10:24] formulation [1:10:25] of the [1:10:25] memorandum [1:10:26] circular [1:10:26] usually [1:10:26] our [1:10:27] building [1:10:28] officials [1:10:28] in the [1:10:29] local [1:10:29] government [1:10:29] units [1:10:29] they have [1:10:30] a [1:10:30] presumption [1:10:30] on the [1:10:31] structural [1:10:31] integrity [1:10:31] of the [1:10:32] structures [1:10:32] within 15 [1:10:33] years [1:10:33] so [1:10:34] because [1:10:34] the 15 [1:10:35] year period [1:10:36] is the [1:10:36] liability [1:10:37] of the [1:10:37] contractors [1:10:38] over the [1:10:39] structure [1:10:39] that they [1:10:39] built [1:10:40] so [1:10:40] after [1:10:40] this 15 [1:10:41] year [1:10:41] period [1:10:41] the [1:10:42] building [1:10:43] officials [1:10:43] are now [1:10:44] more [1:10:44] cautious [1:10:45] in requiring [1:10:46] building [1:10:47] permit [1:10:47] so [1:10:48] if [1:10:49] the [1:10:49] structure [1:10:50] does [1:10:50] not [1:10:50] is [1:10:52] already [1:10:53] beyond [1:10:55] the 15 [1:10:55] year [1:10:56] period [1:10:56] they may [1:10:57] require [1:10:57] a separate [1:10:58] building [1:10:59] permit [1:10:59] just for [1:11:00] the [1:11:00] application [1:11:00] of the [1:11:02] net [1:11:02] metering [1:11:02] installation [1:11:03] because [1:11:03] under [1:11:04] this [1:11:04] joint [1:11:05] memorandum [1:11:06] circular [1:11:06] there is [1:11:07] no more [1:11:07] requirement [1:11:07] for the [1:11:08] building [1:11:08] permit [1:11:08] but only [1:11:09] electrical [1:11:10] permit [1:11:11] and then [1:11:12] after the [1:11:12] installation [1:11:13] the only [1:11:13] permit [1:11:13] that will [1:11:14] be [1:11:14] applied [1:11:14] is the [1:11:14] certificate [1:11:15] of final [1:11:15] electrical [1:11:16] inspection [1:11:16] and that [1:11:17] those [1:11:17] permits [1:11:18] will [1:11:18] no longer [1:11:19] be considered [1:11:19] as an [1:11:20] original [1:11:20] permit [1:11:20] but will [1:11:21] be an [1:11:22] ancillary [1:11:22] permit [1:11:23] to the [1:11:23] building [1:11:23] permit [1:11:23] if [1:11:24] they do [1:11:25] not [1:11:25] qualify [1:11:25] to the [1:11:26] caveat [1:11:26] in this [1:11:26] joint [1:11:26] memorandum [1:11:27] circular [1:11:27] that they [1:11:28] are [1:11:28] existing [1:11:29] structure [1:11:29] with [1:11:30] validly [1:11:30] issued [1:11:30] building [1:11:31] permit [1:11:31] the [1:11:32] legal [1:11:32] basis [1:11:33] of this [1:11:33] provision [1:11:33] is [1:11:34] the [1:11:34] national [1:11:34] building [1:11:34] code [1:11:35] of the [1:11:35] Philippines [1:11:35] which [1:11:36] requires [1:11:36] alteration [1:11:37] in the [1:11:38] structure [1:11:38] for the [1:11:39] building [1:11:40] permit [1:11:40] so [1:11:40] the [1:11:41] installation [1:11:42] of net [1:11:42] metering [1:11:43] is [1:11:43] considered [1:11:44] as an [1:11:45] alteration [1:11:45] which [1:11:46] requires [1:11:46] the [1:11:47] building [1:11:48] permit [1:11:49] from the [1:11:49] local [1:11:49] government [1:11:50] unit [1:11:50] so [1:11:50] this [1:11:50] is [1:11:51] actually [1:11:51] the [1:11:51] compromise [1:11:51] that we [1:11:52] had [1:11:52] with the [1:11:53] DPWH [1:11:54] and the [1:11:54] Philippine [1:11:55] Association [1:11:55] of Building [1:11:55] Officials [1:11:56] when we [1:11:56] conducted [1:11:56] the [1:11:57] consultation [1:11:58] meetings [1:11:59] yes [1:12:00] go ahead [1:12:02] yes ma'am [1:12:04] I think [1:12:05] if I may [1:12:06] suggest [1:12:06] the [1:12:07] really [1:12:08] the real [1:12:09] cost of [1:12:10] delay [1:12:10] is the [1:12:11] inspection [1:12:11] I mean [1:12:12] really [1:12:13] I mean [1:12:13] we cannot [1:12:14] compromise [1:12:15] safety [1:12:16] and everything [1:12:18] is done [1:12:18] through [1:12:19] as-build [1:12:19] plans [1:12:19] if there [1:12:20] is an [1:12:21] as-build [1:12:21] plan [1:12:21] of a [1:12:22] certain [1:12:22] house [1:12:23] or a [1:12:23] certain [1:12:23] applicant [1:12:24] the [1:12:25] real [1:12:26] cost of [1:12:26] delay [1:12:26] really [1:12:27] I mean [1:12:27] basing it [1:12:28] from the [1:12:28] feedback [1:12:29] from the [1:12:29] electric [1:12:29] cooperatives [1:12:30] is the [1:12:31] schedule [1:12:31] of [1:12:32] inspection [1:12:32] which [1:12:32] we [1:12:33] understand [1:12:33] which [1:12:34] we [1:12:34] understand [1:12:35] that [1:12:35] in [1:12:36] every [1:12:38] LGU [1:12:38] there are [1:12:38] only [1:12:39] limited [1:12:39] inspectors [1:12:40] and [1:12:40] it's not [1:12:41] it's [1:12:41] their [1:12:41] job [1:12:41] so [1:12:43] since [1:12:43] this is [1:12:44] a national [1:12:45] project [1:12:45] and [1:12:46] this [1:12:46] will [1:12:46] redound [1:12:47] to the [1:12:47] benefit [1:12:48] of [1:12:48] the [1:12:50] many [1:12:50] I [1:12:50] think [1:12:51] LGUs [1:12:52] I mean [1:12:52] if [1:12:52] they [1:12:53] can [1:12:53] put [1:12:54] priority [1:12:54] and [1:12:55] maybe [1:12:55] assign [1:12:56] one [1:12:56] group [1:12:57] just [1:12:58] to [1:12:58] attend [1:13:00] to [1:13:00] inspecting [1:13:01] applicants [1:13:02] for [1:13:03] net [1:13:03] metering [1:13:03] so [1:13:04] there [1:13:05] would [1:13:05] be [1:13:05] no [1:13:06] cost [1:13:06] of [1:13:06] delay [1:13:06] in [1:13:07] the [1:13:07] procurement [1:13:08] of [1:13:09] this [1:13:09] necessary [1:13:09] license [1:13:10] we [1:13:10] fully [1:13:11] understand [1:13:11] the [1:13:12] load [1:13:14] bearing [1:13:14] capacity [1:13:15] everything [1:13:15] should be [1:13:16] should be [1:13:17] validated [1:13:17] but [1:13:18] the [1:13:19] problem [1:13:19] there [1:13:19] is [1:13:19] the [1:13:20] scheduling [1:13:20] of [1:13:20] inspection [1:13:21] it [1:13:21] will [1:13:21] really [1:13:22] take [1:13:22] time [1:13:22] so [1:13:23] since [1:13:23] if [1:13:24] there [1:13:24] would [1:13:24] be [1:13:24] enough [1:13:25] support [1:13:25] from [1:13:25] the [1:13:25] LGU [1:13:26] to [1:13:26] to [1:13:26] propagate [1:13:27] this [1:13:27] national [1:13:28] project [1:13:28] I [1:13:28] think [1:13:28] this [1:13:29] will [1:13:29] be [1:13:29] this [1:13:29] will [1:13:30] be [1:13:30] solved [1:13:30] ma'am [1:13:31] I [1:13:32] think [1:13:34] the [1:13:34] contractor [1:13:35] or the [1:13:35] installer [1:13:36] of [1:13:36] PV [1:13:36] system [1:13:37] should [1:13:38] be [1:13:38] responsible [1:13:39] in [1:13:40] looking [1:13:42] at [1:13:42] the [1:13:42] as [1:13:43] built [1:13:43] plan [1:13:43] and [1:13:44] coordination [1:13:44] with [1:13:44] the [1:13:45] building [1:13:45] official [1:13:46] with [1:13:47] the [1:13:47] permits [1:13:48] and [1:13:48] so [1:13:48] on [1:13:48] and [1:13:48] so [1:13:48] forth [1:13:49] your [1:13:49] owner [1:13:52] will [1:13:52] always [1:13:52] rely [1:13:52] on [1:13:53] the [1:13:53] contractor [1:13:53] of [1:13:54] the [1:13:54] PV [1:13:55] system [1:13:55] actually [1:13:55] that [1:13:56] is [1:13:56] the [1:13:57] normal [1:13:59] the [1:13:59] responsibility [1:14:01] to procure [1:14:02] licenses [1:14:02] and [1:14:03] permits [1:14:03] will [1:14:03] rest [1:14:04] will [1:14:04] be [1:14:04] to [1:14:05] the [1:14:05] account [1:14:05] of [1:14:05] the [1:14:06] contractor [1:14:06] so [1:14:07] it [1:14:08] will [1:14:08] all [1:14:08] depend [1:14:09] on [1:14:09] kailan [1:14:10] may [1:14:10] inspect [1:14:11] kaya [1:14:11] siyempre [1:14:12] ang building [1:14:12] official [1:14:12] siyan [1:14:13] hindi silang [1:14:13] pipirma [1:14:14] hanggang [1:14:14] hindi [1:14:14] nila [1:14:15] na-inspect [1:14:15] sa [1:14:16] ba-validate [1:14:16] so [1:14:17] I [1:14:17] think [1:14:17] that's [1:14:17] where [1:14:18] the [1:14:18] things [1:14:19] are

are [1:20:13] the [1:20:13] larger [1:20:14] commercial [1:20:15] establishments [1:20:16] they [1:20:17] have [1:20:17] an [1:20:17] average [1:20:17] installation [1:20:18] size [1:20:18] of [1:20:18] 700 [1:20:19] kilowatts [1:20:20] each [1:20:20] so [1:20:21] even [1:20:22] without [1:20:22] the [1:20:22] removal [1:20:24] of the [1:20:24] 100 [1:20:25] kilowatt [1:20:25] limit

suggest [1:20:39] lang [1:20:39] ma'am [1:20:39] also [1:20:40] to [1:20:40] expedite [1:20:41] the [1:20:41] process [1:20:41] if [1:20:42] the [1:20:42] DOE [1:20:42] can [1:20:43] be [1:20:43] authorized [1:20:43] to [1:20:44] coordinate [1:20:44] with [1:20:44] DTI [1:20:45] to [1:20:45] adopt [1:20:45] technical [1:20:46] standards [1:20:47] for [1:20:47] solar [1:20:49] rooftop [1:20:49] associated [1:20:50] equipment [1:20:51] kaya [1:20:51] nung [1:20:52] nabanggit [1:20:52] ng [1:20:53] DPWH [1:20:53] it [1:20:55] will [1:20:55] also [1:20:55] help [1:20:55] the [1:20:56] DUs [1:20:56] in [1:20:56] evaluating [1:20:57] net [1:20:58] meeting [1:20:58] applications [1:20:59] nakita [1:21:00] namin [1:21:00] na [1:21:00] there [1:21:00] is [1:21:02] already [1:21:02] a [1:21:02] standard [1:21:02] for [1:21:03] inverters [1:21:03] for [1:21:03] example [1:21:04] but [1:21:04] there [1:21:04] are [1:21:04] installers [1:21:05] who [1:21:05] do [1:21:05] not [1:21:05] use [1:21:06] those [1:21:07] inverters [1:21:08] that [1:21:09] adopt [1:21:09] international [1:21:09] standard [1:21:10] and [1:21:11] also [1:21:11] ma'am [1:21:12] if [1:21:12] the [1:21:12] DOE [1:21:12] can [1:21:12] be [1:21:12] authorized [1:21:13] to [1:21:13] adopt [1:21:14] qualifications [1:21:15] for [1:21:15] installers [1:21:16] ordinarily [1:21:20] it's [1:21:20] the [1:21:20] installer [1:21:20] that [1:21:21] will [1:21:21] take [1:21:21] care [1:21:21] of [1:21:22] permits [1:21:22] but [1:21:23] I [1:21:23] think [1:21:23] the [1:21:23] anecdotes [1:21:25] from [1:21:25] DILG [1:21:26] shows [1:21:27] that [1:21:27] even [1:21:27] the [1:21:27] installers [1:21:28] do [1:21:28] not [1:21:28] know [1:21:28] for [1:21:28] example [1:21:29] that [1:21:29] you [1:21:29] building [1:21:29] permit [1:21:30] first [1:21:30] for [1:21:31] certain [1:21:31] houses [1:21:33] that [1:21:33] are [1:21:33] older [1:21:34] than [1:21:34] 15 [1:21:34] years [1:21:35] so [1:21:35] the [1:21:35] installer [1:21:37] will [1:21:39] tell [1:21:40] the [1:21:40] customer [1:21:40] but [1:21:43] the [1:21:44] installer [1:21:44] should [1:21:44] have [1:21:44] told [1:21:44] the [1:21:45] customer [1:21:46] already [1:21:46] that [1:21:47] yes [1:21:48] so [1:21:49] and [1:21:50] an [1:21:51] experience [1:21:51] with [1:21:51] an [1:21:52] ICSC [1:21:53] study [1:21:54] has [1:21:54] shown [1:21:54] that [1:21:54] about [1:21:55] one [1:21:55] third [1:21:56] of [1:21:56] solar [1:21:57] rooftops [1:21:57] in [1:21:57] the [1:21:57] Maralco [1:21:58] franchise [1:21:58] era [1:21:59] are [1:21:59] called [1:21:59] guerilla [1:22:00] installations [1:22:00] so [1:22:01] hindi [1:22:02] po [1:22:02] ito [1:22:02] kumuhan [1:22:02] ng [1:22:02] CFEI [1:22:03] sa [1:22:03] LGU [1:22:05] so [1:22:06] walang [1:22:06] inspection [1:22:07] according to [1:22:08] their [1:22:08] studies [1:22:09] they [1:22:10] took [1:22:10] satellite [1:22:11] photos [1:22:12] from [1:22:12] Google [1:22:12] Earth [1:22:14] and [1:22:14] they [1:22:14] checked [1:22:14] it [1:22:15] against [1:22:15] what's [1:22:15] registered [1:22:16] in [1:22:16] the

[1:27:15] the [1:27:15] country [1:27:16] from [1:27:18] achieving [1:27:19] its [1:27:19] national [1:27:19] renewable [1:27:20] energy [1:27:21] targets [1:27:22] and [1:27:24] then [1:27:24] on

[1:27:36] that [1:27:37] there [1:27:37] are [1:27:38] defined [1:27:38] standards [1:27:39] that [1:27:40] will [1:27:40] ensure [1:27:41] that [1:27:42] the [1:27:42] management [1:27:42] of

[1:27:48] next [1:27:49] slide [1:27:49] please [1:27:50] on [1:27:54] the [1:27:54] inclusion [1:27:54] of the [1:27:55] power [1:27:55] generation [1:27:55] projects [1:27:56] in the [1:27:56] LGU [1:27:56] share [1:27:57] of [1:27:57] national [1:27:57] wealth [1:27:58] we [1:27:59] the [1:28:01] people [1:28:01] recommends [1:28:01] the [1:28:01] deletion [1:28:02] of the [1:28:02] proposed

[1:28:09] may [1:28:10] be [1:28:10] overly [1:28:10] broad [1:28:11] and [1:28:11] might [1:28:11] cover [1:28:11] both [1:28:12] RE [1:28:12] and [1:28:13] non-RE [1:28:14] generation [1:28:15] project [1:28:15] and we [1:28:17] would [1:28:17] like [1:28:17] for [1:28:18] the [1:28:18] inclusion [1:28:19] of [1:28:19] a [1:28:20] provision [1:28:21] that [1:28:21] will [1:28:21] incentivize [1:28:23] renewable [1:28:23] energy [1:28:24] projects [1:28:25] particularly [1:28:26] with [1:28:27] the [1:28:28] imposition [1:28:28] of an [1:28:29] incentive [1:28:29] on the [1:28:29] tax [1:28:30] assessments [1:28:30] on the [1:28:30] land [1:28:31] where [1:28:31] the [1:28:31] RE [1:28:31] projects [1:28:32] are [1:28:32] located [1:28:32] next [1:28:33] slide [1:28:34] please [1:28:34] TIPA [1:28:40] is [1:28:41] supportive [1:28:41] of [1:28:42] the [1:28:42] measures [1:28:43] to [1:28:44] lift [1:28:46] the [1:28:46] cap [1:28:47] for [1:28:47] net [1:28:48] metering [1:28:48] but [1:28:49] we [1:28:54] just [1:28:55] have [1:28:55] these [1:28:57] suggestions [1:28:58] particularly [1:28:59] on the [1:29:00] parity [1:29:00] pricing [1:29:00] method [1:29:01] for [1:29:01] surplus [1:29:01] electricity [1:29:02] exports [1:29:03] under [1:29:03] net [1:29:03] metering [1:29:03] we [1:29:04] recommend [1:29:05] that [1:29:05] the [1:29:07] exports [1:29:08] should [1:29:08] not [1:29:08] be [1:29:09] credited [1:29:10] to [1:29:11] the [1:29:11] full [1:29:11] retail [1:29:11] price [1:29:12] of [1:29:12] the [1:29:12] electricity [1:29:15] since [1:29:15] this [1:29:16] might [1:29:16] overcompensate [1:29:17] net [1:29:17] metering [1:29:18] customers [1:29:18] and [1:29:19] create [1:29:19] cross [1:29:19] subsidies [1:29:20] from [1:29:20] non-participants [1:29:21] and also [1:29:22] regarding [1:29:23] on the [1:29:24] timeline [1:29:24] for the [1:29:24] DOE [1:29:25] processing [1:29:25] of net [1:29:25] metering [1:29:26] applications [1:29:27] we [1:29:27] note [1:29:27] Madam [1:29:28] Chair [1:29:28] that [1:29:29] the [1:29:29] current [1:29:30] proposed [1:29:30] timeline [1:29:31] of 15 [1:29:31] working [1:29:32] days [1:29:32] may be [1:29:32] too [1:29:33] short [1:29:33] for [1:29:33] some [1:29:34] distribution [1:29:34] utilities [1:29:35] so [1:29:35] we [1:29:36] said [1:29:36] just [1:29:37] that [1:29:37] the [1:29:39] DOE [1:29:39] or [1:29:39] the [1:29:40] ERC [1:29:40] might [1:29:40] decide [1:29:44] on [1:29:44] what [1:29:45] particular [1:29:45] timeline [1:29:46] should [1:29:46] be [1:29:46] given [1:29:46] for [1:29:46] the [1:29:47] processing [1:29:47] of [1:29:47] the [1:29:48] net [1:29:48] metering [1:29:48] applications [1:29:49] next [1:29:50] I think [1:29:52] that's [1:29:52] all [1:29:53] for [1:29:53] PIPA [1:29:53] or [1:29:53] Madam Chair [1:29:54] Thank you [1:29:57] We'll go [1:29:58] through that [1:29:59] and then [1:29:59] at least

[1:33:44] on the [1:33:44] solar [1:33:44] rooftops [1:33:45] for [1:33:45] buildings [1:33:46] so [1:33:46] we [1:33:46] support [1:33:47] these [1:33:48] bills [1:33:50] as [1:33:50] well [1:33:50] we [1:33:51] also [1:33:51] support [1:33:52] ERC [1:33:52] on their [1:33:53] efforts [1:33:53] to [1:33:53] refine [1:33:54] net [1:33:55] metering [1:33:56] versus [1:33:56] distributed [1:33:57] energy [1:33:57] resource [1:33:58] rules [1:33:58] so [1:33:59] hopefully [1:33:59] the [1:34:00] rules [1:34:00] will [1:34:00] come [1:34:00] out [1:34:00] very [1:34:01] very [1:34:01] soon [1:34:01] third [1:34:02] we [1:34:03] support [1:34:03] PIPA [1:34:04] and [1:34:04] PISEA [1:34:05] on their [1:34:05] comments [1:34:06] on the [1:34:06] proposed [1:34:06] amendment [1:34:07] to the [1:34:07] RE law [1:34:08] if you [1:34:09] notice [1:34:09] the [1:34:10] proposal [1:34:10] now [1:34:11] is [1:34:11] for [1:34:12] the [1:34:12] LGU [1:34:13] to [1:34:13] first [1:34:13] approve [1:34:14] before [1:34:15] DOE [1:34:15] issues [1:34:16] the [1:34:16] service [1:34:16] contract [1:34:17] but [1:34:17] under the [1:34:20] constitution [1:34:21] that [1:34:21] issue [1:34:22] of [1:34:23] DOE [1:34:23] service [1:34:24] contract [1:34:25] no [1:34:25] hindi [1:34:25] naman [1:34:26] po [1:34:26] mawawala [1:34:26] yung [1:34:27] consultation [1:34:27] on the [1:34:28] LGUs [1:34:28] because [1:34:29] after [1:34:30] they [1:34:30] secured [1:34:30] the [1:34:30] DOE [1:34:31] approval [1:34:31] they [1:34:32] have [1:34:32] to [1:34:32] get [1:34:33] the [1:34:33] BOI [1:34:33] incentives [1:34:34] that's [1:34:34] the [1:34:34] basis [1:34:35] and [1:34:35] thereafter [1:34:36] secure [1:34:36] the [1:34:37] LGU [1:34:37] resolution [1:34:38] so [1:34:38] kasama [1:34:38] naman [1:34:39] po [1:34:39] pag [1:34:39] binaligtad [1:34:40] they [1:34:41] will [1:34:41] incur [1:34:41] costs [1:34:42] and [1:34:42] therefore [1:34:42] they [1:34:43] will [1:34:43] not [1:34:43] be [1:34:43] able [1:34:44] to [1:34:44] recover [1:34:46] those [1:34:46] costs [1:34:47] until [1:34:47] they [1:34:47] get [1:34:48] the [1:34:48] BOI [1:34:48] incentive [1:34:49] so [1:34:49] we [1:34:50] should [1:34:51] retain [1:34:51] the [1:34:51] current [1:34:52] process [1:34:52] and [1:34:53] secondly [1:34:55] government [1:34:56] share [1:34:56] because [1:34:57] 2% [1:34:58] is [1:34:58] and [1:34:59] I'm [1:34:59] sure [1:35:00] everyone [1:35:00] knows [1:35:00] but [1:35:01] indigenous [1:35:01] tribes [1:35:02] are [1:35:03] from [1:35:04] 2-5 [1:35:05] percent [1:35:06] so [1:35:06] we [1:35:07] hope [1:35:08] that [1:35:13] we [1:35:13] retain [1:35:14] our [1:35:14] ELO [1:35:15] what I [1:35:15] think [1:35:15] we [1:35:15] need [1:35:16] to [1:35:16] focus [1:35:16] on [1:35:16] is [1:35:17] pushing [1:35:17] for [1:35:17] more [1:35:18] projects [1:35:18] to [1:35:18] be [1:35:18] built [1:35:19] because [1:35:19] the [1:35:20] laws [1:35:20] are [1:35:20] there [1:35:20] and [1:35:21] having [1:35:21] said [1:35:21] that [1:35:21] if [1:35:22] I [1:35:22] may [1:35:22] just [1:35:22] present [1:35:23] a [1:35:23] few [1:35:23] slides [1:35:24] and [1:35:25] justify [1:35:26] why [1:35:26] we [1:35:27] are [1:35:27] pushing [1:35:27] for [1:35:27] renewables [1:35:28] let me [1:35:35] just [1:35:35] show [1:35:36] you [1:35:36] where [1:35:36] we [1:35:36] are [1:35:36] in [1:35:37] terms [1:35:37] of [1:35:37] the [1:35:38] current [1:35:40] installed [1:35:40] capacity [1:35:41] for [1:35:41] renewables [1:35:42] if [1:35:43] you [1:35:43] look [1:35:43] at [1:35:43] the [1:35:44] latest [1:35:44] data [1:35:44] the [1:35:45] table [1:35:45] power [1:35:46] generation [1:35:47] capacity [1:35:47] it [1:35:49] would [1:35:49] show [1:35:49] that [1:35:49] renewables [1:35:50] is [1:35:50] now [1:35:50] 32% [1:35:51] this [1:35:52] is [1:35:52] based [1:35:52] on [1:35:52] DOE [1:35:53] data [1:35:53] so [1:35:54] we're [1:35:54] almost [1:35:54] there [1:35:55] in [1:35:56] terms [1:35:56] of [1:35:56] the [1:35:56] target [1:35:57] of [1:35:57] 35% [1:35:58] however [1:35:58] we all [1:36:00] know [1:36:00] pag [1:36:00] nagtayuhon [1:36:01] ng [1:36:01] malalaking [1:36:01] coal [1:36:02] yung [1:36:02] 32% [1:36:02] yan [1:36:02] bababa [1:36:03] na [1:36:03] naman [1:36:03] 22% [1:36:04] so [1:36:05] that's [1:36:05] why [1:36:06] we do [1:36:06] not [1:36:07] support [1:36:07] any [1:36:07] move [1:36:08] to [1:36:08] lift [1:36:09] the [1:36:10] moratorium [1:36:10] on [1:36:10] coal [1:36:10] I [1:36:11] think [1:36:11] what [1:36:12] we [1:36:12] should [1:36:12] do [1:36:12] more [1:36:12] is [1:36:13] push [1:36:13] for [1:36:13] more [1:36:14] renewables [1:36:14] to [1:36:14] get [1:36:15] built [1:36:15] now [1:36:16] and [1:36:17] if [1:36:17] you [1:36:17] go [1:36:18] to [1:36:18] the [1:36:18] next [1:36:18] slide [1:36:18] you [1:36:18] will [1:36:19] see [1:36:19] that [1:36:23] that [1:36:24] coal [1:36:24] is [1:36:24] still [1:36:25] there [1:36:25] 62% [1:36:27] of [1:36:27] generation [1:36:28] comes [1:36:28] from [1:36:28] coal [1:36:29] and [1:36:30] always [1:36:30] our [1:36:31] problem [1:36:31] is [1:36:31] we [1:36:31] rely [1:36:32] too [1:36:32] much [1:36:32] on [1:36:33] imported [1:36:33] fuels [1:36:33] whenever [1:36:34] oil [1:36:35] or [1:36:36] coal [1:36:36] goes [1:36:36] up [1:36:37] we [1:36:37] want [1:36:39] to [1:36:39] reduce [1:36:40] this [1:36:41] kind [1:36:41] of [1:36:41] pie [1:36:41] chart [1:36:41] and [1:36:42] have [1:36:42] more [1:36:42] renewables [1:36:43] in [1:36:43] the [1:36:43] system [1:36:44] let [1:36:44] me [1:36:45] just [1:36:45] show [1:36:45] you [1:36:45] very [1:36:45] quickly [1:36:46] if [1:36:46] you [1:36:47] go [1:36:47] to [1:36:47] the [1:36:47] slide [1:36:48] number [1:36:49] 15 [1:36:49] why [1:36:50] have [1:36:51] we [1:36:51] been [1:36:51] pushing [1:36:51] for [1:36:51] renewables [1:36:52] and [1:36:53] this [1:36:53] data [1:36:53] that [1:36:53] is [1:36:54] out [1:36:54] dated [1:36:54] and [1:36:55] we [1:36:55] request [1:36:56] the [1:36:56] DOE [1:36:56] and [1:36:57] ERC [1:36:58] to [1:36:59] do [1:36:59] the [1:36:59] study [1:36:59] together [1:37:00] with [1:37:00] IMAP [1:37:01] this [1:37:01] is [1:37:02] the [1:37:02] effect [1:37:02] of [1:37:02] feed-in [1:37:03] tariff [1:37:03] there [1:37:04] are [1:37:04] about [1:37:04] 1,400 [1:37:05] megawatts [1:37:07] awarded [1:37:07] by [1:37:07] the [1:37:08] DOE [1:37:08] on [1:37:09] a [1:37:09] feed-in [1:37:10] tariff [1:37:10] basis [1:37:10] next [1:37:11] slide [1:37:11] and [1:37:12] you [1:37:12] will [1:37:12] see [1:37:13] the [1:37:13] effect [1:37:13] of [1:37:14] feed-in [1:37:14] tariff [1:37:15] and [1:37:16] let [1:37:16] me [1:37:16] just [1:37:17] go [1:37:17] straight [1:37:17] now [1:37:17] because [1:37:18] feed [1:37:18] plants [1:37:19] are [1:37:19] considered [1:37:19] mass [1:37:20] dispatch [1:37:20] let [1:37:21] me [1:37:21] go [1:37:21] straight [1:37:22] to [1:37:22] slide [1:37:23] number [1:37:23] 18 [1:37:30] here [1:37:31] go [1:37:31] because [1:37:32] of [1:37:32] all [1:37:33] your [1:37:33] feed [1:37:33] plants [1:37:33] and [1:37:34] they [1:37:34] are [1:37:34] considered [1:37:34] mass [1:37:35] dispatch [1:37:35] kita [1:37:36] nyo [1:37:36] ho [1:37:36] na [1:37:37] naka [1:37:37] save [1:37:37] po [1:37:38] tayo [1:37:38] sa [1:37:38] consumers [1:37:39] ng [1:37:39] 9.4 [1:37:40] cents [1:37:40] per [1:37:41] kilowatt [1:37:41] hour [1:37:42] and [1:37:43] this [1:37:43] is [1:37:43] only [1:37:44] as [1:37:44] of [1:37:44] 2020 [1:37:45] if [1:37:45] you [1:37:45] recall [1:37:46] sumipa [1:37:47] po [1:37:47] yung [1:37:47] presyo [1:37:48] ng [1:37:48] coal [1:37:48] in [1:37:48] 2022 [1:37:49] where [1:37:50] we [1:37:51] hit [1:37:51] I [1:37:51] think [1:37:51] about [1:37:51] $400 [1:37:52] per [1:37:53] metric [1:37:53] ton [1:37:53] you [1:37:54] can [1:37:54] imagine [1:37:55] because [1:37:55] coal [1:37:56] was [1:37:56] more [1:37:56] expensive [1:37:57] then [1:37:57] and [1:37:58] your [1:37:58] RE [1:37:59] was [1:37:59] at a [1:37:59] fixed [1:37:59] price [1:38:00] at [1:38:01] the [1:38:01] fit [1:38:01] rates [1:38:01] mas [1:38:02] malaki [1:38:02] na [1:38:03] ho [1:38:03] yung [1:38:03] savings [1:38:03] natin [1:38:04] that's [1:38:04] why [1:38:04] I'm [1:38:05] recommending [1:38:07] to [1:38:07] both [1:38:07] DEUY [1:38:08] and ERC [1:38:08] paki [1:38:09] recalculate [1:38:10] po [1:38:10] para [1:38:10] makita [1:38:11] ho [1:38:11] ng [1:38:11] ating [1:38:12] mga [1:38:12] end [1:38:13] users [1:38:13] ang [1:38:14] laki [1:38:14] na [1:38:14] ho [1:38:14] nang [1:38:15] nasa [1:38:15] save [1:38:15] natin [1:38:16] because [1:38:16] we [1:38:16] have [1:38:16] put [1:38:17] in [1:38:17] the [1:38:17] cheaper [1:38:18] renewables [1:38:19] in [1:38:19] the [1:38:19] system [1:38:19] so [1:38:20] in [1:38:20] summary [1:38:20] po [1:38:20] let [1:38:21] me [1:38:21] just [1:38:21] go [1:38:21] to [1:38:22] the [1:38:22] last [1:38:22] slide [1:38:22] our [1:38:23] push [1:38:24] from [1:38:24] the [1:38:25] private [1:38:25] sector [1:38:25] in [1:38:26] fact [1:38:26] because [1:38:27] we [1:38:27] have [1:38:27] contributed [1:38:28] to [1:38:28] reducing [1:38:28] the [1:38:29] cost [1:38:29] of [1:38:29] electricity [1:38:30] let's [1:38:33] increase [1:38:33] our [1:38:34] targets [1:38:34] right now [1:38:35] we have [1:38:36] a 35% [1:38:37] target [1:38:37] by [1:38:37] 2030 [1:38:38] and [1:38:38] 50% [1:38:39] by [1:38:40] 2040 [1:38:40] I think [1:38:41] we can [1:38:41] do [1:38:41] better [1:38:41] than [1:38:42] that [1:38:42] given [1:38:42] where [1:38:43] we [1:38:43] are [1:38:43] on [1:38:43] the [1:38:43] cost [1:38:44] we [1:38:45] fully [1:38:45] support [1:38:46] all [1:38:46] the [1:38:46] efforts [1:38:47] to [1:38:47] improve [1:38:47] government [1:38:48] processes [1:38:48] and [1:38:49] reduce [1:38:49] administrative [1:38:51] problems [1:38:52] and [1:38:53] perhaps [1:38:53] we've [1:38:54] been [1:38:54] talking [1:38:54] about [1:38:55] solar [1:38:55] rooftops [1:38:56] maybe [1:38:56] we [1:38:56] can [1:38:56] give [1:38:56] incentives [1:38:57] to [1:38:57] the [1:38:57] households [1:38:58] in [1:38:59] other [1:38:59] countries [1:38:59] like [1:39:00] Australia [1:39:00] the [1:39:01] solar [1:39:02] rooftop [1:39:03] have [1:39:03] incentives [1:39:04] in [1:39:04] the [1:39:04] form [1:39:05] of [1:39:05] tax [1:39:05] credits [1:39:06] so [1:39:06] we can [1:39:07] do [1:39:07] it [1:39:08] and [1:39:09] of [1:39:09] course [1:39:09] we [1:39:10] support [1:39:10] the [1:39:10] in [1:39:11] all [1:39:11] their [1:39:11] auction [1:39:11] programs [1:39:12] we [1:39:12] just [1:39:12] want [1:39:13] to [1:39:13] make [1:39:13] sure [1:39:13] that [1:39:13] all [1:39:14] the [1:39:14] rules [1:39:14] are [1:39:14] uniform [1:39:15] without [1:39:16] any [1:39:16] distinction [1:39:16] to [1:39:17] help [1:39:18] ensure [1:39:18] that [1:39:18] we [1:39:18] have [1:39:19] more [1:39:19] renewable [1:39:19] energy [1:39:19] projects

the [1:53:29] RE [1:53:29] law [1:53:29] the [1:53:30] difficulty [1:53:31] with being [1:53:31] last [1:53:31] is that [1:53:32] there's [1:53:32] not much [1:53:32] more [1:53:33] to say [1:53:33] but I'd [1:53:33] like to [1:53:34] amplify [1:53:35] the [1:53:35] matter [1:53:36] of the [1:53:36] LGU [1:53:37] the LGU [1:53:38] it is [1:53:40] actually [1:53:41] very much [1:53:41] central to [1:53:42] the [1:53:42] development [1:53:43] of the [1:53:43] project [1:53:43] not only [1:53:44] do you [1:53:45] have [1:53:45] to get [1:53:47] their [1:53:47] endorsement [1:53:47] at the [1:53:48] outset [1:53:48] but you [1:53:49] have to [1:53:49] establish [1:53:49] and maintain [1:53:50] a strong [1:53:51] harmonious [1:53:52] relationship [1:53:52] with it [1:53:53] throughout [1:53:53] the 20 [1:53:54] or 25 [1:53:55] years of [1:53:55] the project [1:53:56] so it is [1:53:57] in every [1:53:57] interest [1:53:58] of the [1:53:58] developer [1:53:58] to start [1:53:59] out well [1:54:00] continue [1:54:02] well [1:54:02] and end [1:54:03] well [1:54:03] with the [1:54:03] LGU [1:54:04] because [1:54:05] that's [1:54:06] where you [1:54:07] are [1:54:07] you are [1:54:08] in a [1:54:09] host [1:54:10] community [1:54:10] and as [1:54:11] a guest [1:54:12] of the [1:54:12] host [1:54:12] community [1:54:12] you have [1:54:13] to be [1:54:14] a [1:54:15] gracious [1:54:15] guest [1:54:16] so [1:54:17] we [1:54:17] just [1:54:18] like [1:54:18] to say [1:54:18] that [1:54:18] the [1:54:19] endorsement [1:54:19] prior [1:54:20] to the [1:54:21] endorsement [1:54:22] prior to [1:54:23] the [1:54:23] issuance [1:54:24] of a [1:54:24] service [1:54:25] contract [1:54:25] may not [1:54:27] be [1:54:27] necessary [1:54:27] because [1:54:28] the [1:54:29] engagement [1:54:30] with the [1:54:31] LGU [1:54:32] happens [1:54:32] all [1:54:33] throughout [1:54:33] the [1:54:33] process [1:54:34] of the [1:54:35] life cycle [1:54:36] of the [1:54:37] project [1:54:37] up to [1:54:38] the [1:54:38] very [1:54:38] end [1:54:38] and [1:54:39] then [1:54:40] of course [1:54:40] the [1:54:40] matter [1:54:41] of the [1:54:41] increasing [1:54:44] the [1:54:44] government [1:54:46] share [1:54:46] I think [1:54:48] might go [1:54:48] contrary [1:54:50] to the [1:54:51] objective [1:54:52] to increase [1:54:53] the [1:54:53] development [1:54:54] of [1:54:54] renewable [1:54:55] energy [1:54:55] in the [1:54:55] Philippines [1:54:56] and I [1:54:56] understand [1:54:56] there's [1:54:57] actually [1:54:57] a [1:54:57] Senate [1:54:58] bill [1:54:58] that [1:54:58] cuts [1:54:59] it [1:54:59] in [1:54:59] half [1:55:00] to [1:55:00] 5% [1:55:01] 2.5% [1:55:02] instead [1:55:03] of 1% [1:55:03] and [1:55:03] we [1:55:04] would [1:55:05] hope [1:55:06] that [1:55:06] that [1:55:06] is [1:55:06] the [1:55:06] way [1:55:06] that [1:55:07] Congress [1:55:08] goes [1:55:09] thank [1:55:11] you [1:55:12] Madam [1:55:14] Chair [1:55:14] I [1:55:15] think [1:55:15] we [1:55:16] have [1:55:16] heard [1:55:16] enough [1:55:17] alam [1:55:18] ko [1:55:18] pag [1:55:18] pinag-uusapan [1:55:19] natin [1:55:19] renewable [1:55:20] energy [1:55:21] please [1:55:24] educate [1:55:24] me [1:55:24] pero [1:55:25] sa [1:55:25] pagtansya [1:55:25] ko [1:55:25] it's [1:55:26] 90% [1:55:26] technical [1:55:27] 10%
