EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 36th Status Report on Republic Act No. 9136 titled “Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001” covers the implementation period November 2019 to April 2020. This highlights significant accomplishments, strategies and policies undertaken by the Department of Energy (DOE), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the DOE Attached Agencies as well as other private sector instrumentalities so mandated by the EPIRA. During the report period, several events occurred that deeply affected the power industry including the devastation left by Typhoon Ursula which ravaged the Northeastern Mindanao, Bicol Region, Central Visayas, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA and Western Visayas, the eruption of Taal Volcano in January 2020 which temporarily displaced about 846,000 resident of Laguna, Cavite and Batangas and the recent pandemic Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) which put the economic activities of the country at almost stand still. Also in this report, it highlighted the response that the power sector has implemented in order to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity and support the government’s effort to prevent the spread and mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Amid the mobility limitation brought by implementation of Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) and work from home (WFH) arrangements, the sector strived to operate normally while adhering to the norms implemented with the issuance of various regulations in line with Republic Act No. 11469 titled Bayanihan to Heal as One Act, also known as the Bayanihan Act, which was enacted on 25 March 2020 granting the President additional authority to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The Department of Energy has implemented emergency measures against the COVID-19 to ensure a continuous supply of energy within the country. These include the issuance of identification cards (IDs) to facilitate movement of workers in the delivery of energy services and fuels, close coordination with other concerned government agencies and corporations including local government officials and the Philippine National Police (PNP) for the unimpeded movement of energy products and services needed for the daily operations and establishment of a 24/7 Bayanihan Energy Service hotline to assist industry players. Meanwhile, in light of their respective mandates, key energy agencies ensured their continuous operations while at the same time rendering their assistance in providing relief to the general public, as follows: 1. The ERC, while adopting a WFH arrangements, continued to monitor the proper implementation of relevant regulations particularly Among others, it has issued Advisories mandating the Distribution Utilities (DUs) to allow payment extension and staggered payments for electricity bills falling due during the period under ECQ, as well as temporary suspension of the collection of Feed-in Tariff Allowance (FIT All); 2. The Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM), in compliance with the DOE directives, has ensured the priority allocation of its capacities to Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative, Inc. (LASURECO), Maguindanao Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MAGELCO) and the Ancillary Services for the entire Mindanao thereby preventing outages in the said electric cooperatives (ECs) and the grid. As to its privatization activities, it moved to later dates the conduct of biddings for its remaining assets while continuously undertaking preparatory activities under WFH. PSALM likewise allowed extension and staggered payment of bills falling due during the ECQ, in accordance with the DOE and ERC Advisories; 3. The Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) and the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC) ensured the normal operations of the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) and the Retail Market and continued the preparations for the eventual implementation of WESM Mindanao and the enhanced design for Luzon and Visayas. IEMOP adhered to the DOE’s call to allow payment extension and staggered payments to market participants whose collections from their 36th Status Report on EPIRA Implementation As of April 2020 2 consumers were affected. PEMC on the other hand, continuously conduct governance activities through online meetings; 4. The National Electrification Administration (NEA) ensured the unimpeded service delivery of electric cooperatives through issuance of IDs, implementation of business continuity plans and compliance to the different Advisories by the DOE and the ERC; 5. The National Power Corporation (NPC) ensured continuous operations in the missionary areas and implemented the DOE and ERC Advisories on extended deadline and staggered payment of electricity bills falling due during the ECQ; and 6. The National Transmission Corporation continued to monitor the adherence of its concessionaire to their respective agreements. Likewise, as FIT-All Administrator, it observed the various Advisories of the DOE and the ERC on collection deferment and extension and staggered payment to collecting entities. As a whole, the power sector accomplishments are as follows: 1. The WESM remains under normal operations albeit some incidents of market interventions implemented by the System Operator (SO) and the Market Operator (MO). The average effective supply and supply margin in the market was recorded at 13,148 MW and 2,474 MW, respectively. The lowest supply level was observed in the December 2019 billing month due to the outage of several major power plants. In terms of demand (including reserve schedule) declined by 22 percent from 11,819 MW in October 2019 to 9,259 MW in April 2020. Average demand reduction of 30% and 19% were observed respectively in Luzon and Visayas during the ECQ period. Meanwhile, average market price is at PhP3,623/MWh with the lowest rate of PhP1,494/MWh in April 2020 and highest rate of PhP5,937/MWh in December 2019; 2. Mindanao supply-demand situation shows an average demand reduction of about 25% bringing the supply-margin

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

The Philippines is a consumer, source, and transit point for IWT, threatening endemic species populations, economic development, and biodiversity. The country has been a party to the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992. The value of IWT in the Philippines is estimated at ₱50 billion a year (roughly equivalent to $1billion), which includes the market value of wildlife and its resources, their ecological role and value, damage to habitats incurred during poaching, and loss in potential

  • The Geochemistry of the Mt. Balut Island Geothermal Prospect, Davao Del Sur, Philippines
    THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE MT. BALUT ISLAND GEOTHERMAL PROSPECT, DAVAO DEL SUR, PHILIPPINES Cecilia Polo Balmes1 1Geothermal Division-Energy Resource Development Bureau, Department of Energy, Energy Center, Merritt Road Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Metro Manila Key Words: Mt. Balut Island, Philippines, fluid geochemistry Malapitan, 1997). It is also the site where back-arc thrusting occurs along the Cotabato and Philippine trenches and the ABSTRACT volcanic centers are inactive and dissected (Salonga, 1992, Malapitan, 1997). The acidic waters of Mt. Balut Island precludes the use of cation geothermometry for the calculation of its reservoir Balut Island belongs to the Central Physiographic Province temperature. Instead, the silica mixing plot was used to consisting of sub-provinces of Babuyan, Cagayan-Caraballo, predict the subsurface temperature, assuming that a chloride- Central Luzon, Bondoc-Sarangani, Central Visayas and rich reservoir exists. In the absence of a suitable cold water Cotabato (GOP, 1982; Malapitan, 1997). The geo-tectono sample from the area, an assumption was made that the affiliation of Mt. Balut Island is closely related to the composition of surface waters, in terms of SiO2 concentration, Mindanao Central Cordillera of the Bondoc-Sarangani is similar. Based on eleven cold water samples from different Subprovince. Mindanao Central Cordillera extends north- provinces in the Philippines, an average SiO2 concentration of south for about 400 km. from Mt. Hibok-Hibok in Camiguin 33 ppm was obtained. This, together with the SiO2 to Sangihe Ridge which includes prominent volcanic edifices concentration of the warm waters in Mt. Balut were plotted such as Mts. Apo, Parker, Matutum and Balut. It is bounded against the corresponding enthalpy equivalent of the measured on the east by Pacific Cordillera and Agusan-Davao Lowlands; water temperatures.
