MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the first delivery of natural gas from Malampaya’s newly developed offshore wells in Batangas City.
Speaking at the Malampaya Onshore Gas Plant on Thursday, Marcos said the new wells would help move the Philippines closer to energy independence.
“Maximizing the use of Malampaya gas could contribute to more competitive power rates because we are relying less on imported energy sources that are subject to volatile international energy prices,” he said in his speech.
