Senator Pia Cayetano has raised concerns about the rising prices of imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), emphasizing the need for the Philippines to enhance its energy security through domestic sources.
In light of escalating global LNG prices, she advocates for prioritizing indigenous natural gas production to mitigate reliance on costly imports. Cayetano's remarks come as the country navigates its energy transition, aiming to balance the integration of renewable energy while ensuring stable and affordable power supply for consumers.
