BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Brunei — President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. has expressed intention in waste-to-energy projects amid the Philippines' aim to transition from fossil fuels to renewables. In a meeting with Brunei's major players in the energy sector here, Marcos tackled the potential investments in the Philippines' renewable energy sector as well as the enhancements on oil and gas collaborations.
Marcos disclosed several challenges on achieving these waste-to-energy projects such as legal and regulatory issues and scaling of wastes by local government units.“We had to organize garbage collection in half the province to be able to support that technology. And there's the problem this politics entered into it. It was just a little difficult. You must be familiar with the problem,” Marcos said.
