KEY INFO: The Ateneo de Davao University's Dean of Engineering and Architecture, Dr. Randell U. Espina, initiated the project in 2011. Solar PV collects and generates energy and saves the environment. The power crisis is still prevalent today, so alternative or alternative energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy should also be explored. This shows the importance of using renewable energy sources to prevent the shortage of utility by conserving energy and imported energy sources that can increase energy prices.

KEY INFO: In the power situation in Mindanao for the last six years, we have used a large proportion of renewable energy. Imported coal is Mindanao's power supply today, which is more expensive than we used to have. That is why we need more renewable supplies from several power plants. Seeing the connection between this documentary and our research topic on how renewable energy supplies and conserving energy is an important strategy to avoid the shortage of utility. As citizens of Mindanao, we should know how to save and manage energy and natural resources by promoting and using renewable energy. 

KEY INFO: The public's (Dabawenyo) opinions gathered using the poll survey method about environmental issues, such as air pollution, deforestation, the energy crisis, etc. Dabawenyos says that the city government should emphasize developing alternative renewable energy sources and promoting self-imposed discipline on energy conservation. This research connects with our research topic since it talks about how most Dabawenyo’s solution to the energy crisis is to have more environmentally friendly solutions and emphasize developing alternative renewable energy sources like solar panels and promoting self-education on energy conservation.

KEY INFO: The infographic shows how Mindanao is in a power crisis because of its increasing demand rather than electricity supply. One of the reasons is that there have been no new power plants in Mindanao since 2006. With this, there are ways to lessen this crisis by proposing long-term solutions, initiatives to ease power outages, and residents help by using natural light as much as possible. This shows how doubling and having more renewable energy sources are essential in Davao City to lessen the energy crisis. We, as citizens, can help this issue by doing the 3 R’s and achieving the proposed solutions.

KEY INFO: This promotional video shows that USAID aims to expand the sustainable energy sources in Southeast Asia. They have invested billions of dollars towards clean energy projects. Through their programs, they have cut greenhouse emissions by 8 million tons, helped millions of people in Indonesia to gain access to clean energy sources, and in Vietnam they helped increase the number of rooftop solar panels. USAID is supporting a regional power grid that integrates renewable energy, stabilizes electricity supplies, and helps reduce emissions. By helping to secure Southeast Asia’s energy future and reduce the impact of climate change, USAID not only contributes to regional prosperity but also the well-being of the earth and all of its inhabitants.

KEY INFO: In this podcast episode, the speakers are talking about Davao City’s plan to build a waste to energy plant. Environmentalists are not convinced this should be the way to go. According to representatives from No Burn Philippines, there are already policies in place that make sure that garbage is segregated at source, that organic waste is composted at home, and that recyclables are recycled and no longer need to make their way to the city's garbage piles.
