❓ The Philippines started a government-backed green energy program, with Mindanao now connected since 2025, yet why is adoption still lagging?
⚡️ The Green Energy Option Program is open, operational, and backed by the Department of Energy, but limited renewable supply and low awareness are quietly holding back adoption where it matters most.

💬 In this episode, Lyka Delos Santos of the Department of Energy breaks down exactly where the gaps are, what’s being done to fix them, and why closing this window matters for every Filipino business owner thinking about making the switch.
