Acting President and CEO
Due to the rising fuel costs and global instability arising from the worsening conflict among the U.S., Israel, and Iran, the University is implementing an immediate energy conservation program. Please refer to Annex A: Comprehensive Energy and Fuel Conservation Guidelines for specific protocols.
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EEC) Officer and Focal Person of the University shall lead these efforts and will be monitoring and submitting monthly compliance of the offices to the Office of the University President. For the external campuses, the Campus Director shall appoint a local EEC Officer who will coordinate with the main campus EEC Officer/Focal Person regarding the implementation of this program. The Main Campus EEC Focal Person is likewise directed to coordinate with the Department of Energy (DOE) in case the University is randomly selected for spot checks and energy audits.
By reducing our electricity/fuel consumption now, we ensure the availability of our fuel and gas resources through the year-end. Furthermore, savings generated from these efforts may be reallocated toward employee benefits and other initiatives that support the general welfare of our community.
While the University supports collective expression, we urge offices and student groups to minimize operational and environmental costs. As a leader in social responsibility, Palawan State University encourages its offices and student groups to adopt sustainable alternatives such as fora, assemblies, internet-based implementation of projects/activities/projects, and/or cultural programs. Let us ensure that our actions reflect our commitment to community care and sustainability.
