Beyond Clean & Green:

Ilocos Norte aims for Zero Carbon Footprint and Beyond By Mike Baños, Editor-at-Large

Perhaps fate brought the iconic Bangui Windmills to Ilocos Norte, but the pioneering renewable energy project could well have blazed the trail to the province’s sustainable future with a zero carbon neutrality status. Despite the presence of the wind turbines which could supply cheap and clean energy, the province’s economy continues to be mostly based on agriculture and fisheries, with manufacturing mostly based on cottage industries (loom weaving, furniture, handicrafts, ceramics, metal craft) and food processing (salt, empanada, bagoong, patis, basi (native

Ilocano wine), vinegar, longganisa, chicharon, bagnet, chichacorn or cornick). The province’s location at the northwest corner of Luzon makes it ideal for wind power generation but ironically, the power that’s fed to the Luzon grid mostly benefits users outside the province. Hence, the provincial government is not exactly ecstatic over the growing number of wind

Imee Marcos in an exclusive interview with Cagayan de Oro and Cebu Journalists who recently undertook a familiarization tour of the province. “Unfortunately unlike the extractive industries, the local government and local communities don’t necessarily benefit, so it’s very important to us that corporate social responsibility, the development of supply and value chains, the exploitation first of local resources and compliance with environmental codes be upheld.” Energy Regulation No. 1-94 stipulates the required assistance to local communities by power developers. Situated just an hour and a half drive from the capital city of Laoag, the Bangui Windmills started with 15 wind turbines in June, 2005 following an extensive wind resource analysis and mapping study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in 1996. Northwind Power Development Corp. (NWPDC) developed, maintains and operates the project, while Vestas Wind Systems, a Danish firm, supplied the wind turbine-generator units (WTGs) for the site.

The Bangui Bay Project is the first in the Philippines to be awarded an Emissions Reduction Purchase Agreement (ERPA) under the Clean Development Mechanism. It is also the first Philippine recipient of the Carbon Emission Reduction Certificates (CER’s) from the Executive Board of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2006, the project produced a five percent discount of the weighted average price in the wholesale electricity spot market (WESM) or a

generated savings of approximately USD1.4 million (PhP 70 million) for electricity consumers of the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC). Phase II added 5 more wind turbines to raise total capacity to 33MW in 2008, increasing the project’s power contribution to Ilocos Norte from 40 to 50 percent. NWPDC expects to complete Phase III with 6 new wind turbines adding a total of 18 MW installed capacity by year end. The first in Southeast Asia, the $75-million Bangui

wind farm has become one of the main sources of electricity as well as a major tourist attraction for Ilocos Norte. Two other firms are now constructing additional installations: Energy Development Corporation targets 150MW by 2015 in Burgos, and the National Renewable Energy Corp. (formerly UPC Renewables) for 81MW in Pagudpud, one of Ilocos Norte’s major tourism destinations. Once operational, EDC’s Burgos Wind Project will See ilocos, page 7

Veterans Bank opens Valencia City branch PV B is a PR I VATE depository of government BANK, but it has the ad- funds as stated in Section vantage of an authorized 6 of R.A. 7169.

By Allan M. Mediante Editor In Chief, MDN

ALENCIA City - The Philippine Veterans Bank has opened one of its newest branches in Mindanao – the PVB Valencia City Branch. Business has commenced on September 2, 2014 in this city, according to PVB Vice President for Corporate Affairs, Miguel VillaReal, although its formal inauguration is slated in October, this year. Aside from being a commercial bank, the war veterans and pensioners are serviced by this bank. Pensioners in the province of Bukidnon are very grateful. They said they will not experience rigorous travel anymore if they need the services of PVB. The nearest branch is Cagayan de Oro which now is a 3-hour travel from Malaybalay City due to road repairs. PVB Valencia Bukidnon is a big respite for oldaged pensioners who live in Bukidnon, says Branch Manager Lino Gacus. Philippine Veterans Bank is owned by Filipino World War II veterans and their designated heirs, numbering about . 400,000 A very prominent provision of its mandate is to provide 20% of its annual net income to the Board of Trustees of the Veterans of World War II (BTVWWII), which in turn

manages programs for the benefit of the veterans, their widows, orphans and heirs. These include the BTVWWII Museum and the BTVWWII Out-patient Center. In its recent annual stockholders’ meeting, PVB has announced that its total resources has grown from P54.93 billion to P55.59 billion. PVB President and CEO Joey A. Bermudez also reported that the 1.22 percent growth was recorded from 2012 to 2013 yearend, adding that the bank’s Capital Funds remained strong at P6.61 billion. About 4,000

stockholders Filipino World War II veterans, widows, and heirs attended the annual event. PVB also announced that the election results held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City showed that PVB Board officers and directors, Roberto F. de Ocampo OBE, Guillermo A. Parayno Jr., Joey A. Bermudez, Ma. Nieves R. Confesor, Alfonso B. Cruz Jr., Judith V. Lopez, Percianita G. Racho, Gen. Umberto A. Rodriguez, Atty. Romeo G. Roxas, Laurito E. Serrano and Pablito H.

Yap were re-elected to a one-year term. “PVB’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR), a measure to determine a bank’s capability to shoulder risks, stood at 20.24% under Basel II. This is still well above the 10% minimum requirement of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. In terms of audited Net income, the Bank was able to generate P142.70 million lower than the 2012 figure of P356.82 MAINLY due to the sustained drop in asset yields given the excess liquidity in the market,” the bank stated.

10 M Filipinos go hungry each day One in every 10 Filipinos cannot afford to eat. That’s 10 million Filipinos who “do not have income adequate enough to meet basic food requirements,” says the latest government economic data on how the country is moving towards achieving targets set by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals or MDG. The MDG aims to raise the poor’s living standards next year, or by 2015. The first MDG target is to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day, and halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. The Philippines will meet its targets on food poverty but needs to “double or triple” efforts to meet the targets on income poverty, said Dr. Arsenio M. Balisacan, Director-General of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) which released the figures. NEDA observed that employment growth contrasted with economic output. In 2013, the GDP growth rate registered at 7.2 percent, while employment level growth rate was 0.8 percent. The seemingly conflicting relationship was due to the fact that one-third of the country’s labor force is employed in agriculture, forestry and fishery which account for the smallest GDP contribution, Balisacan said. And agriculture is “highly sensitive to weather disturbances,” he added. The country will also have to double or triple efforts to meet the targets on nutrition and dietary energy requirement, said Balisacan, the country’s Economic Planning Secretary. The prevalence of underweight children under

Email matter five years old decreased by 0.4 percentage points from 20.6 percent in 2008 to 20.2 percent in 2011. “To meet the MDG target of halving the number of underweight children by 2015, we will need to reduce this figure by 6.6 percentage points, or about 1.65 percentage points per year from 2011 to 2015,” Balisacan said. The proportion of Filipino households with inadequate calorie intake decreased from 74.2 percent in 1990 to 57 percent in 2006. From 2003 to 2008, however, the proportion increased by 9.9 percentage points, far from the 2015 target of 37.1. “To reach the MDG on halving levels of hunger in 2015, we need to reduce this number by 4 percentage points per year,” said Balisacan. As for the second MDG goal of achieving universal primary education, access to elementary education has improved since 1990. The probability of attaining the 2015 target of 100 percent enrollment was elevated from low to high. Elementary net enrollment ratio has steadily improved from a low of 83.2 percent in school year 2006-2007 to 95.2 percent in school year 20122013. This is a significant achievement as the country approaches the net enrollment ratio target of 100 percent by 2015, Balisacan reported. While the participation rate has improved, he noted, “we have recently performed poorly in ensuring that all pupils stay in school and finish elementary education.” Efforts will have to double up to ensure completion rates in elementary schools, he said.

Solar flares, rains, floods, winds: “the end is near” LIFE’S INSPIRATIONS: “… As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. `Tell us,’ they said, `when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’...” (Matthew 24:3, the Holy Bible). -oooSOLAR FLARES, RAINS, FLOODS, WINDS: “THE EN D IS N E A R”: M i x i ng science, current events, and the Bible, as what we have been trying to do on several occasions in this column, has given rise to a number of fascinating, if terrifying, scenarios. I wish to write two or three of these mixes today, and once again arrive at the conclusion that Biblical predictions about the fiery end of the world is really fast approaching. Let us go to science and current events f irst. The Internet is right now filled with reports about relatively strong solar f lares or fire leaping off from the sun and going to the direction of our earth. The first flare occurred on September 09, 2014, while the second erupted the day after, or on September 10. While the general prognosis is that, only the earth’s power grids and radio and satellite transmissions will be damaged by these latest solar f lares, scientists on the other hand confirm that the flares are occurring

Kakampi mo ang batas Atty. Batas Mauricio more frequently and quite stronger nowadays. Pete Riley of Predictive Science, Inc. is one of these scientists, and he even published a book on the subject. -oooPR E DIC T ION S A N D SIGNS ABOUT THE END: The second intermingling of science and current events that has some significance during these times is the report of persistent flooding of many parts of the world, coupled with tornados and strong winds barreling down many areas, causing death and destruction. It is clear f looding and strong winds are becoming the new normal situation everywhere now. Where does the Bible come in, in these deadly incidents? Wel l, it has foretold and prophesied, very accurately it now appears, the occurrence of such solar flares hitting and scorching the earth, and of the rains, floods, and strong winds engulfing many regions. Offhand, I could think of two verses for the solar f lares,

and four verses for the rains, floods, and strong winds. In Malachi 4:1 of the Bible, there is this prediction: “Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord Almighty. `Not a root or a branch will be left to them’…” -oooFIRE AS THE END OF EVERYTHING: On the other hand, in 2 Peter 3:10-11, there is a more fearsome description of how the sun, the moon, the stars, the heavens and the earth will be burned. These verses say: “…But the day when the Lord comes again will surprise everyone like the coming of a thief. The sky will disappear with a loud noise. Everything in the sky will be destroyed with fire. And the earth and everything in it will be burned up…” In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus, our God and Savior, gave a warning: the rains, f loods, and strong winds will come.

Although some say that His references to rains, f loods, and winds are mere figures of speech to denote the problems that will confront man, it is clear that Jesus actually meant real rains, floods, and strong winds, as is what is happening now. And so, as the popular song goes, “… the end is near.” Significantly, the Bible also predicted that people will mock those who will warn about the end of the world, which will be signaled by the Second Coming of Jesus (see 2 Peter 3:3-9). Whatever, it can no longer be denied that the signs and the predictions are now coming true, and he who is wise will know what to do. Those who are not wise will surely perish! -oooPLEASE LISTEN: “ Ta m b a l a n g B a t a s a t Somintac”, jointly aired at 1062 kHz in Manila, 1080 kHz in Dagupan City, 711 kHz in Naga City, 1260 kHz in Lucena Cit y, 1224 k Hz in Davao City, and at www.eaglenews. ph, Mondays to Fridays, at 6 a.m.; “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas”, at 103.7 mHz in Don Carlos, Bukidnon, Mondays to Fridays, at 7 a.m.; “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas” at 801 kHz on the AM band (Panay Island), Mondays to Fridays, at 10 a.m.; and “Kakampi Mo Ang Batas” at 107.5 Win FM, Roxas, Isabela (Saturday, 5:30 a.m., and Sunday, 7 a.m.).

Making Memories Think a minute… A father once asked his adult children to tell him their happiest memories from when they were kids. The father expected his kid’s happiest childhood memories to be the big, special trips like when their family went to Disney World, or some special expensive toy they’d received. But this father was so surprised that those were not the things his children remembered best. Instead it was the very simple, every day things. Like when their dad would get on the floor and wrestle with his 4 kids. Or when their parents would sit and tell them stories and jokes in the evening, so they

Think A Minute Jhan Tiafau Hurst all would laugh together until their sides hurt. Or the times they would sit around and sing songs together, or they all went into town for ice cream cones. They say: “The best things in life are free.” So we don’t need a lot of money to make happy memories for our kids. Even if we buy that latest,

expensive toy for our children, sooner or later they go back to simple homemade fun. We just can’t bribe our kids by buying our way out of our responsibility as their Mom and Dad. Giving our children money, toys, even the best schools and privileges, is never a true substitute for giving them our time. We

must spend time with them to satisfy their need to be close to us. That’s what the richest, happiest memories are made of ! So even if we work at a job every day, we can still fill many of our evenings and weekends with fun, simple things to do as a family. If you’ve forgotten to have fun with your kids daily, won’t you ask Jesus Christ to forgive you for failing to give your children the time and love they need? Then ask Jesus to take full control of your heart, so you can start changing to become the father or mother your kids need every day. Just Think a Minute …

be the largest wind farm in the Philippines. It is being installed on a 600-hectare site covering three barangays: Saoit, Poblacion and Nagsurot, in Burgos town. In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the country’s largest geothermal producer said it will install an additional 21 wind turbines in the 87-megawatt (MW) wind farm. “This raises the total project investment cost to $450 million from $300 million, and once fully completed, increases the total generating capacity to 150 MW from 87 MW,” the Lopez-owned EDC said. Aside from the wind farm, the BWP also includes a 115 kV transmission line connecting the wind farm from the Burgos substation to the Laoag substation of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), as well as the expansion of the switchyard/substations. It will augment the Luzon grid’s dependable capacity which needs an additional 4,200 MW in the next ten years due to the projected 4.5 per cent annual increase in electricity demand. It is designed to generate at least 230 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year, enough to supply a million households. It will displace the equivalent of 129,000 tons of carbon emissions or roughly half a million barrels of oil to help mitigate the effects of climate change. Department of Energy records as of July 31, 2014 show another firm, Energy Logics Phils. of the Delgado Group, has been awarded a service contract for a 120-MW wind power project at Pasuquin East. The firm plans to put up wind farms that can generate a total 420 MW over the next seven years, and a solar power portfolio that can produce more than 250 MW in additional capacity. Wind power in the Philippines makes up a small percentage of the total energy output of the Philippines. The country’s wind energy sector has significant potential and could provide up to 76GW of power. The approval of these RE projects is to fulfill the Renewable Energy Act of 2008 which mandates that the government develop the country’s renewable energy resources to promote a shift to more sustainable, reliable and affordable energy. The approved RE developers are now aggressively pursuing the construction of their projects to benefit from the feed-in-tariff (FiT) rates put in place by the DOE. FiT rates are guaranteed fixed prices for RE energy applicable for 20 years that assure the RE developers they will earn and recover their expenses. Engr. Ernesto B. Pantangco, EDC executive vice president and vice chairman (private sector) for the National Renewable Energy Board, said investor interest in the Ilocos Norte wind power projects are driven by expected shortfall in electricity supply in Luzon over the next few years. The DOE estimates electricity demand in Luzon grid would increase at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 4.13 percent, to 10,693 MW in 2020 and will increase further to 16,477 MW in 2030. Besides committed power projects, the grid still needs an

additional 8,100 MW (6,000 MW baseload and 2,100 MW peaking) to meet the electricity demand and the required reserve margin of the grid. A total of 869 MW committed projects are expected for commissioning this year until 2015. Of these, 113 MW will be from renewable energy. “However, we still need the FiT rates to make the projects viable,” Mr. Pantangco added. The current Feed-in Tariff rate approved by the Energy Regulatory Board (ERC) for wind power projects has been set at P8.53 per kilowatt hour (kWh) and P9.68 for solar. “Lately the weather pattern has returned to the Pacific and middle area of the archipelago,” Gov. Marcos noted. “The wind people have been studying it and sabi nila that’s the kind of wind that they need and secondly I think there’s a lot of financing available for renewable energy.” “I think their opening investment was at US$300million and that’s times three now, tatlo na yan. And there are four more approved but we’re also hopefully opening up the solar shortly and we’ve now activated a small hydro for 2 MW.” The province’s first solar power plant is being installed by Korea’s Mirae Asia Energy Corp in Currimao for 20MW. A bigger 50MW solar power project of Energy Logics Philippines, Inc. is being planned for Pasuquin and Burgos . Currimao is ideal for solar power because of its extended dry season which extends up to nine months every year. Ilocos Norte could finally start benefitting from all the clean energy it is producing and exporting to the rest of Luzon if its nascent Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry takes off as expected. Cited as the Best in Infrastructure in the 2012 Next Wave Cities Report, the capital city of Laoag is positioning itself as a viable alternative BPO hub to Metro Manila and Cebu. “The real product of Ilocos Norte is its people, with its spirit of intrepidness and entrepreneurship, one that lends itself to ICT and the exciting new world of digital media. Our abundance of talent in Ilocos Norte can held drive the BPO and service industries to new heights,” Gov. Marcos said during the Laoag leg of the Next Wave Cities ICT Road Show. “Next to talent, our infrastructure is a source of pride for us Ilokanos; we have quality roads, an international airport and container port as well quality telecommunications connectivity.” Expert Global Solutions (EGS), the first major contact center provider in Laoag, expects to hire 500 call center agents for its new facility. “We are very excited for our

expansion in Northern Luzon. Laoag City is known as a first class city, which serves as the commercial and business hub of Ilocos Norte,” said Bong Borja, president and country head for EGS Philippines. “We are also confident that the city has pool of highly qualified talents, which is one of the biggest deciding factors why we want to bring and grow our business in Laoag,” he said. EGS is the holding company for two global leaders in BPO: NCO Financial Systems, which specializes in accounts receivable management, and APAC Customer Services, which concentrates on customer relationship management. Ms. Emmy Lou V. Delin, NWC program manager, DOST-ICT Office, is confident Metro Laoag can support more than 15,000 full time employees in the BPO industry by 2016.

But the construction boom brought by the RE projects in the province hasn’t been without its issues. “We’ve been having so much trouble with that because it’s all in the beach and daming nasisirang corals and it’s very, very difficult to work with some of these large corporations because they’re immensely powerful, they go straight to Manila and the local concerns are overturned,” Gov. Marcos said. “It’s really been an issue but there’s so much money being thrown at renewables and a lot of them are here.” With the Bangui windmill farms and the soon Currimao solar park, Ilocos Norte will soon generate 50 percent of its power requirement from clean energy. The province’s local energy needs is provided by the INEC whose service area

I think we’re beyond zero now,” Gov. Marcos said. “We also like to limit our food miles, meaning that we grow food everywhere. Every Ilokano has malunggay and saluyot in his kitchen garden,” she added. “This is important for us that we eat fresh food and everything’s grown in the premises. Our goal is to be organic 50 percent shortly.” Indeed, carbon neutrality and beyond appears to be well in hand in Ilocos Norte. The Philippines’ largest
