PATRIOTISM is commonly associated with soldiers making ultimate sacrifices for their nation. However, it also reveals itself through quieter yet equally impactful actions.
An example of this is currently taking place on the Senate floor, where Senator Pia Cayetano steadfastly upholds her faith in the potential of the Filipino people and the Philippines as a whole.
Cayetano’s persistence is remarkable, especially when faced with the uncomfortable question: Why is the Philippines so dependent on imported fuel when we have our own? It’s a challenge she poses not only to lawmakers but also to every Filipino, urging us to stop accepting the status quo and to look at energy issues through a new lens.
Cayetano also brought clarity to a misleading claim. It had been argued that imported liquefied natural gas is cheaper than indigenous gas, citing a price of just $10 per MMBtu. But Cayetano, ever the diligent fact-checker, quickly debunked this myth. The purpose of Senate Bill 2793 is not to eliminate LNG from the energy mix but to put Filipino resources first in the quest for energy security. Cayetano cited the decline in energy exploration since the discovery of the Malampaya field due to a lack of clear and attractive policy framework for decades. Without government support, exploration has stagnated, and opportunities for growth have been left untapped.
