DUTERTE – Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte gave his approval to the energy conservation law in the Philippines.
Undeniably, recently, some parts of the Philippines are suffering from unstable power supply which can be affected by the energy supply. To end it, the President has given his go signal to a proposed measure.
Based on a recent report on ABS-CBN News, citing DZMM, Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte approved the Republic Act No. 1285. It is otherwise known as the “Energy Conservation Act”.
