PRRD’s strong leadership style fascinates
Japanese people–PH envoy
TOKYO, Japan -- the Japanese
public is so fascinated with
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s
style of leadership, prompting
Nikkei Inc. to invite him to
speak at its 25th International
Conference on the Future of Asia,
the Philippines’ envoy to Japan
said on Tuesday.
“The reason why the
President is brought here is that
the Japanese — it’s not Abe
alone–it’s the Japanese that are
in themselves fascinated by
his government,” Philippine
Ambassador to Japan Jose Laurel
said during an interview with
Philippine reporters.
“And the Japanese are
always fascinated with leadership
that is recognized, affirmed by
their own people, at the same time
a tremendous political will insofar
as his programs are concerned.
So he is not controversial but
interesting. Ibang klase for the
Japanese. Because the Japanese
are also interested in quality
leadership that leads the nation.”
President Duterte will address the
Nikkei conference on May 31.
The Japanese admire
tough leaders as the Asian country
reeled from the destruction
brought about by World War 2.
They are also looking
at contemporary Asian leaders
particularly who can further
strengthen their relationship
with Japan. Both Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe and President
Duterte describe the present
developments in Asia as “golden
era.”
Nikkei, Japan’s leading
economic organization, has been
concentrating on Asia for the
last five years considering the

in the next few years.

of Japan, everyone in Asia is

E-Trikes ilulunsad sa Batangas City
upang mabawasan ang polusyon
LUNGSOD
NG
BATANGAS-
Lumagda sa isang Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) ang
pamahalaang lungsod at ang First Gen
Power Corporation sa paglulunsad ng
E-Vehicle Initiative kamakailan.
Ang naturang proyekto ay
inisyatibo ng First Gen Renewables
Inc., sister company ng First Gas
Power Corporation at inaasahang
magsisimula ng electric tricycle
industry na posibleng isulong na
programa ng lokal na pamahalaan
para magkaroon ng energy efficient
at environment-friendly na mga
sasakyan.
Ayon kay Engr. Januario
Godoy, pinuno ng City Planning and
Development Office, ito ay suporta
sa renewable energy program at
local climate action plan upang
mabawasan ang air pollution at
carbon emission ng mga sasakyan.
“Bukod sa mas maliit ang
maintenance cost ng e-trike at mas
mahaba ang life span kumpara sa mga
conventional na tricycle, mas marami
ring pasahero ang pwedeng isakay
dito. May kaparehong programa din
ang Department of Energy (DOE) na
maaaring pag-aralan kung pwedeng
isama sa local initiative,” dagdag pa
ni Godoy.
Bilang pauna,magkakaloob ang
First Gen ng limang e-trikes na
magsisilbing pilot vehicles ng
naturang proyekto.
Magbubuo
ng
isang
Technical Working Group (TWG)
na kakatawanin ng Mayor bilang
chairman,
City
Environment
and Natural Resources Office,
Transportation Development and
Regulatory Office (TDRO), City
Planning and Development Office
(CPDO) at iba pang konsernadong
ahensya na siyang magsasagawa
ng pananaliksik at pag-aaral para sa
feasibility at profitability ng E-Trike.
Kasama sa mga pag-aaralan ang ruta,
linya at samahan ng mga tricycle
operators/ drivers, pamamahala at
maging kung saan ang charging
station nito.
Inaasahan na sa buwan ng
Hunyo ay masisimulan na ang pag-
aaral habang ang MOU ay tatagal
ng tatlong taon. (BHABY P. DE
