Outstanding Governorship Award 2017

“It's time for our province to enter the same pursuit by way of clean
technology.Conventional sources of energy and power infrastructure in the
Philippines rests on coal, gas, and bunker fuel. As we move towards the pace
of economic development, we must make sure to avoid any severe shortages
in grid-supplied power. Tarlac, according to DENR, has a high solar radiance
thus, it is wise that we harness solar energy as an alternative energy source.”

Governor Yap facilitated the hosting of the BCDA Green City which will generate more jobs for

Zone (CSEZ) and at the heart of the bustling urban centers and major infrastructures in the

empowerment, innovation, transferability and sustainability,
and efficiency of program service delivery.”
