Task Force to review Ilocos Norte environment code

LAOAG CITY, Jan 12 (PNA) --Underscoring the need to reinforce ordinances and resolutions in support of provincial programs, the administration of Governor Ma. Imelda Josefa Marcos plans to create a task force to review this province’s environment code and incorporate stricter measures against coal energy.

Backing Provincial Resolution No. 017-2016, which declared Ilocos Norte as "clean, green, and coal-free" in August 2016, the task force hopes to sustain the province stature as "the wind energy capital of the Philippines.”

Governor Marcos' initiative for a coal-free province also supports the national government's commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) to reduce carbon emissions in 2030.

Task forces created under the provincial government have continuously contributed to inclusive growth in Ilocos Norte, most notably the Task Force Trabaho in 2012, which was able to generate 50,915 jobs in three years.

To date, the province hosts the 150-Megawatt Burgos Wind Power Project of the Energy Development Corporation (EDC), the 81 MW Caparispisan Wind Power Station of Northern Luzon UPC Asia Corp., and the 52 MW Bangui Wind Power Project of Northwind Power and Development Corp.

More recent developments are the 5 MW Agua Grande Hydroelectric Power Plant in Pancian, Pagudpud, and two solar farms-- the 20 MW facility of Mirae-Soleq Philippines Inc., and the 4.1 MW facility of the EDC.

With the launch of Governor Marcos' vision for a "livable, sustainable, and resilient" province, promotion of renewable energy and proper care of the environment are among the priorities of Ilocos Norte.

This move would mean the shying away from energy development using coal of any type due to proven harmful effects to the environment, impact to climate change, and health menace to the people.(PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
