The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved on third and final reading the measure allowing a shift of the country’s power generation from the use of coal to natural gas.

Garnering 215 affirmative votes during plenary session Wednesday, Aug. 2 was House Bill No. 8456 or the Philippine Downstream Natural Gas Industry Development Act.

“It’s high time that we enforce, implement, and use clean energy to mitigate the effects of climate change. We have to start now to veer away from the conventional but hazardous method of generating power, for the benefit of our future generation,” Speaker Martin Romualdez, leader of the 312-member House of Representatives, said.
