FREE Energy-Saving Bulbs from the Philippine Government!

Great News!

13 MILLION BULBS 

WILL BE DISTRIBUTED ALL THROUGHOUT THE PHILIPPINES

from October 26, 2009 to December 2010

by the Department of Energy

 

 

 

with the support of the Asian Development Bank

 

 

 

 

 

 

  If you followed and understood the flow of pictures, your next question would be how will I be able to get these free bulbs?

Follow these steps:

1. Gather all your incandescent bulbs (ID / round bulbs). Each household can  present a maximum of 6 incandescent bulbs to be be replaced with 6 CFLs.

2. Present your latest electric bill (paid or unpaid)

3. Each community in the Philippines / nationwide will have an announcement either through their community schools, church or electric company or cooperative of the area as to the schedule of CFL distribution.

  Please note that these CFL bulbs are

NOT FOR SALE

AND

they are packaged this way

 

 

FAST FACTS:

* This is the FIRST IN THE WORLD ably supported by the Asian Development bank

*The program was born from the Energy Summit of 2008 as a solution to

lessening the cost of electricity in the Philippines (at P9/kwh,

the highest in the ASEAN region, running second

to the highly industrialized Japan  at P12/kwh)

*It is estimated that replacing one million

60-watt incandescent bulbs with equivalent 13-watt compact fluorescent lamps 

(CFLs) would mean savings of atleast 50MW in  equivalent power generation.

This means that for every US$1.5 million worth of CFLs, we can forego

 the installation of a power plant

                                                                 worth US$50million. 

*At the same time this spells significant energy savings for households,
offices, schools, factories,

hospitals and other establishments. 

*It will also lead to a marked reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
that has been identified 

as major cause of  Global warming.

LET'S SWITCH TO CFLs!!!!!
