Senator Idol Raffy Tulfo attended a dinner meeting with some business executives yesterday Jan. 14 to discuss the opportunity and possibility of investment in the Philippines in the field of Energy.
The dinner was attended by Lavan Thiru, Executive Director of Infrastructure Asia, Farchad Kaviani, Managing Director for Southeast Asia of SUEZ, Renee Mison Executive Director of Go Circular, Kunal Shah Chief Growth Officer and Managing Director of Anaergia, and Jens Moller, Engineering Manager of Ramboll.
Some of them are currently investing in the Philippines while others are just planning to invest.
During the meeting, the business executives discussed the benefits of Waste-to-Energy (WTE) as well as the obstacles they have encountered in operating it. They also suggested policies and solutions that could be used for a successful WTE System.
They also voiced their issues about the problems and challenges they encountered in establishing business in our country.
In response, Tulfo, as Chairperson of the Committee on Energy, promised to support them and other foreign investors who want to invest in the country in the field of energy.
Tulfo said the meeting could also help him and his legislative team in pushing for the swift passage of his WTE Bill which is now on Senate’s 2nd reading.
