Green alternatives and some concerns back home

Following the green developments back home, I found out that more and more taxis are using Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPGs) as an alternative fuel. According to reports, it managed to save 50% of their energy consumption.

However, this initiative is not yet fully recognized by the government and might create complications in the future if this is not fully addressed.

I have also seen signs of green hopes budding amidst the simmering heat of Manila. Green architecture is catching up among the ecology-friendly people. This is an initiative that we can fully support.


Another challenge that brought to my attention is the worsening quality of water in the Philippines. This is not an isolated problem for my country. Other countries are not only facing problems on water quality but also water scarcity.

Looks like we have so much work in our hands…
