Pres. Noynoy attempts to interact with Filipino citizens in NATION-BUILDING through amenable and sensible discussion about the problems being face by the country, in order to generate a feeling of CITIZEN ACCOUNTABILITY in the improvement of the Philippines, even beyond the political sphere. In this particular point in time when alternative sustainable development stands out as the proclaimed goal of nation-building and international cooperation throughout the world, such smooth teamwork is significant. The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, emphasized the necessity for effective integration of the social, economic and environmental measurements of development. This demands which the government entities accountable for achieve a reasonable level of coordination and cooperation, beginning with knowledge-sharing and concluding in collegial decision-making.
But this is certainly less difficult mentioned compared to successfully done. Governments have invariably been organized along sector of lines, with each department taking good care of specific concerns, and every fiercely protecting its turf. It is thus essential and unavoidable that consultative and coordinative bodies be formed and regularly organized to make the knowledge-sharing and collegial decision-making that effective quest for sustainable development requires.
In accordance with Vincent Perez, former DOE secretary and current chairman of the World Wildlife Fund in the Philippines, the country is most likely the local innovator in advertising the effective use of renewable energy. Featuring its agricultural geography and also its particular economic conditions, the Philippines is well-situated for wind specifically in the Ilocos region, like wind farms, solar from the sun, geothermal, as we all know that we are in the Pacific ring of fire and the second largest geothermal energy maker across the world and hydroelectric energy, Ma. Cristina Falls is a perfect example of this, and in addition is the energy source from biomass through the gasification process. Biomass regarded as a renewable energy resource produced from microorganisms, either as they quite simply are for instance coconut and sugar, or in the form of their wastes. These can be wastes which have been normally burned in farmlands, or methane gas resulting from places like Payatas.
PNOY's advocacy towards clean energy promotion is potentially both sustainable ecologically and economically. An encouraging undertaking to acquire a country that is going to sustainably cultivate an economy to a great extent dependent upon its natural resources.
