The Department of Energy - Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office (DOE-CWPO) in collaboration with the Department of Education – External Partnerships Service (DepEd-EPS) successfully conducted its Energy Smart Kids Information Education and Communication (IEC) campaign to 100 student leaders and advisers of the Department of Education Region VIII (Eastern Visayas) – Tacloban City Schools Division (SDO) last April 27, 2023.

The half-day briefing included lecture-presentations on the introduction to the DOE and the Energy Smart Kids Program, short videos on how electricity is produced and transmitted to everyone’s homes and the different sources of renewable energy, smart ways on the use of energy, and finally, an energy quiz. The participants say their Pledge of Commitment to serve as agents in providing powerful information on energy to their peers and eventually become “Energy Cost Busters” in their respective homes and schools.
