The “Solar Energy Panels” of Reynaldo Mondez, a retired photographer from the National Housing Authority, which was taken in a rural village in Rizal province flaunts children playing basketball next to a hut and solar energy panel is a symbol of hope for a sustainable future even in the remote parts of the Philippines.
