“Reliable and affordable energy is the foundation of inclusive growth”, Senator Pia S. Cayetano underscored as she opened the first hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy in the 20th Congress.
The hearing tackled the President’s SONA directives, the Department of Energy’s legislative priorities, and measures to strengthen the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) – which Cayetano called a “low-hanging fruit” in achieving energy security and advancing SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, alongside poverty reduction and sustainable development.
As Chairperson of both the Committees on Energy and on Sustainable Development Goals, Innovation, and Futures Thinking, Cayetano vowed to push for forward-looking, transparent, and inclusive energy policies to ensure that no Filipino is left in the dark.
Cayetano: “Reliable and Affordable Energy is the Foundation of Inclusive Growth.”
