00:00It's really a different type of Filipino Christmas because here in our country,

00:03it's only September and we're already starting to prepare for Christmas

00:07and putting decorations for our homes.

00:11You're right, Dianne, but some of those are decorative or decorated.

00:16That's why it's a bit heavy to pay, especially for the bills.

00:21How can we save and be more energy efficient this holiday season?

00:26Let's find out from Director Patrick T. Aquino, Season 3.

00:29Director 4 of the Energy Utilization Management Bureau of the Department of Energy.

00:35Good morning, Director Patrick. Welcome back to Rise and Shine, Filipina.

00:38Good morning.

00:40Good morning, Miss Dianne and Sir Audrey and to those watching and listening to Rise and Shine this morning.

00:47Sir Patrick, why is energy efficiency important during Christmas?

00:53How can this help our fellow Filipinos?

00:57Actually, it's not just during Christmas that energy efficiency is important

01:02or why we use our energy.

01:06But during Christmas, we have more decorations, like you mentioned.

01:12Our advice to our fellow Filipinos is, of course, when we install,

01:17we won't prohibit them from using Christmas lights.

01:22Let's use the more efficient ones. We already have LED lights.

01:27And now that the weather is getting colder,

01:30we can reduce the use of air conditioners and use electric fans.

01:37And since many of our fellow Filipinos will receive bonuses,

01:42their savings, if they buy our appliances,

01:46we will continue to remind them to look at the energy label.

01:51This is blue and yellow, which are marked on our appliances.

01:57And choose the ones with more stars.

01:591 to 5, the 5 stars are the most efficient.

02:02Or the higher number, if that's what you want to look at.

02:06Okay. Well, Sir, we all know that during Christmas,

02:10we have our own decorations, especially the Christmas lights,

02:15how can Filipinos save electricity while using Christmas lights

02:19and other types of electronic decorations?

02:24Our advice is always important.

02:28If we are going to buy Christmas lights,

02:31let's change and shift to LED lights.

02:35Second, we have DTI with us.

02:38When we buy Christmas lights,

02:40we have to make sure that it has an ICC or PS mark

02:45so that we can be sure that we won't get burned.

02:50Third, let's not use octopuses.

02:55Christmas lights have a lot of spots.

03:00If we just follow this, of course, it's fine.

03:04It's also better if there's light,

03:07then we'll turn off the Christmas lights.

03:11Again, let's remember,

03:13the Christmas lights that you use, LED,

03:16has an ICC or PS mark,

03:18and if there's light, you can turn it off.

03:23So let's be conscious in our purchasing decisions.

03:27And check the label.

03:28Those are practical tips.

03:30Now, Director Patrick, when it's time for meetings or parties,

03:34what are some tips that you can give to our cars

03:37so that they can save on energy consumption?

03:44Of course, when we have gatherings,

03:49we can do it outdoors if it's not raining.

03:56So we don't have to use room air conditioners.

04:01When it comes to cooking food for our gatherings,

04:06of course, our recommendation is to use energy efficient.

04:10Based on our studies,

04:12if we're going to use induction or electric cooking,

04:18it saves more if we compare it to LPG.

04:23And definitely, when we're cooking,

04:29we have to make sure that the heat is strong

04:35so that we can consume more efficiently when cooking.

04:41Sir, are there ways for Filipino families

04:46to inhabit energy efficiency this holiday season?

04:52That's a good question.

04:54Of course, because the weather is getting colder,

04:59we always look at whether we need to turn on the air conditioner.

05:04Or if we're going to look at our things,

05:07we'll just switch to an electric panel.

05:10Our recommendation, especially now,

05:13because our kids can see what they're doing,

05:18that if we're not using the appliance,

05:21we should turn it off or turn off the power.

05:24If the appliance has a standby power,

05:28it's still consuming electricity.

05:30That's why our recommendation,

05:32before going out of the room or in the office,

05:35check if there are appliances that are left without power.

05:39Make sure that the power strip is switched off

05:42or turn it off.

05:45Sir, what role does the Renewable Energy Source play

05:49during the holiday season in the Philippines?

05:53Our Renewable Energy Resources are really important.

05:57Many of our households and businesses

06:01are installing our Renewable Energy Sources,

06:04such as rooftop solar.

06:07Our advice to our fellow Filipinos when it comes to this,

06:11just install solar PV installers in your metremes.

06:16Make sure that you coordinate it with your distribution utility

06:19or electric cooperative.

06:21And most importantly,

06:24we have opportunities for financing.

06:27If you are a member of SSS, Pag-ibig, or GSIS,

06:31you can avail of long-term financing loads

06:37so that we can afford to install.

06:39When we install Renewable Energy,

06:42such as solar PV,

06:44we can reduce our consumption.

06:47And most importantly, we can help our environment.

06:51The payback period, according to our studies,

06:54does not exceed 5 or 8 years.

06:57Okay, Director.

06:58Let's talk about these establishments

07:01that use electricity a lot.

07:04Sir, how can offices and commercial establishments

07:09save energy during the holiday season?

07:15Sir Audrey, just like what we are reminding our fellow Filipinos,

07:20our reportorial requirements

07:23under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act

07:26for April 15, 2025,

07:29for this year,

07:31just like our fellow Filipinos,

07:33our businesses need to pay their offices,

07:37especially after office hours,

07:41so that their appliances or equipment

07:44that do not need to be on standby

07:47can be switched off.

07:50And just like what we are reminding our fellow Filipinos,

07:54we can use the cold weather

07:58to reduce our use of air conditioners.

08:02Make sure that the thermostat is set to 24.

08:05But now, because it's cold,

08:07we don't need to lower the temperature.

08:09The weather is colder now

08:11than when the air conditioner is set to 24 degrees.

08:15And if possible,

08:16use natural ventilation and natural lighting

08:19to reduce the lighting and cooling requirements,

08:23especially now that our climate is cold.

08:27Lastly, Director Patrick,

08:29what is your message to our fellow Filipinos

08:32about energy efficiency during the Christmas season?

08:36Yes, this Christmas,

08:38the continuous reminder of our energy efficiency

08:42is that you have the power.

08:44Energy efficiency starts with you.

08:47Let's join together in the new Philippines,

08:49especially this Christmas.

08:52Thank you very much again, Director Patrick,

08:55for your time and of course for the practical tips

08:58to be energy efficient this Christmas.

09:01There you have it, CARSPIS,

09:02thanks to these tips,

09:04and of course,

09:05we won't have a headache after Christmas

09:08because you might have a problem with the electricity bill.

09:11Follow these tips from DOE.

09:14As they say, we have the power.

09:16Thank you, Director Patrick.

09:17Thank you very much.
