Faith-based and pro-environment organizations in the Philippines on July 16 launched the ambitious ’10 Million Solar Rooftops Challenge,’ aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy in Filipino households.Pennsylvania Bishop on Trump assassination attempt: ‘Pray for each other’

The initiative, launched at the “Summit for Clean and Affordable Renewable Energy” in Quezon City, tackles energy self-sufficiency amid rising electricity costs by expanding the use of distributed renewable energy. “The Philippines has an abundant potential for renewable energy, as much as 91 GW of which comes from solar rooftops alone,” said Avril De Torres, Deputy Executive Director of the Center for Energy, Ecology, and Development .

The timing of the campaign coincided with a significant rate hike announcement by the Manila Electric Company, citing increased costs due to fossil fuel prices and market dynamics, which will impact consumers significantly. “Caritas Philippines believes this initiative is a crucial step towards achieving the goals of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, which calls for swift and unified action to protect our planet,” the statement read.
