The Philippines’ energy landscape and renewables

Recently, the PNB Board and Senior Management, led by Chairman Ed Cua and President Edwin Bautista, attended an energy briefing conducted by Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara. She certainly impressed the PNB Board and inspired confidence as a public official. She holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, a doctorate in Ethnomusicology from UP, and was the first woman dean of the UP College of Engineering. It is a rare combination of technical excellence, eloquent delivery, and a versatile intellect. Tax icon and PNB Director Willy Sanchez aptly remarked, “She is so energetic about energy!”
