In particular, the Philippine Network on Climate Change which is noted in the Manila Times opinion section as "an alliance of non-governmental organizations engaged in the advocacy of climate change and sustainable development issues".

"The Philippine government must then focus its efforts on the development and deployment of renewable energy (such as solar, wind, biomass and mini hydro) and energy efficiency (reducing consumption and demand) if it is truly serious about addressing the expected energy crunch in the country.
In its recent study [Power Switch - Scenarios and Strategies for Clean Power Development in the Phillipines - PDF], the University of the Philippines Solar Laboratory (UPSL), in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF)-Philippines, emphasized the country’s huge renewable energy potential such as small hydro (2,308 MW), solar (4.7 to 5.4kWh/m2-day), wind (7,404 MW) and geothermal (4,000 MW).
Based on the 'Power Switch' scenario established by this study, increasing the share of renewable energy in the country’s power mix will reduce dependence on imported fossil fuel such as coal and oil and will result in savings amounting to $2.3 billion over a 10-year period."
