TAGUIG CITY - Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi called for the full cooperation and support of all energy family members for the programs being pursued by the Duterte administration during the Joint Flag-Raising Ceremony held yesterday (3 June) at the DOE headquarters.

Sec. Cusi said, “Now more than ever, we need to do our jobs as public servants committed to help the President realize all the necessary reforms to propel our country’s economy forward. Let this be our covenant and do everything that we can for a better Philippines.”

He further urged the members of the DOE family to reassess all practices and procedures being undertaken by the Department and ensure their alignment with the overall thrust of the government to promote the Philippines as an investment destination.

“The President actively sought to put an end to corruption and red tape. We now even have the Ease of Doing Business, the EVOSS Law and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act. The appropriate policy systems are being set in place even for us in the energy sector. Thus, we do not have any excuse, except to deliver,” Sec. Cusi stressed.

To address these, the Energy Chief established Task Forces to improve all the relevant energy policies, programs and procedures. He strongly advocated for a “mindset revolution” to give rise to innovative thinking practices for the men and women of the DOE.
