“ We all know there is never a wrong time to do or say the right thing, but often it’s not
easy, though. As professionals, we pick many battles; some we win, some we lose.
A battle against the establishment — power suppliers, producers, systems,
processes and procedures — brings mixed blessings. If we don't celebrate these
little wins, we will go down deep in frustration.

Believing in something with conviction does produce results in the long term. Our
battles, small or large, define who we are and what we believe in. And a little win like
this will give me the energy to fight many more battles they are worth the cause.

“My battle with incandescent light bulbs (which use about 10% of the electricity they consume to produce light and waste most of

the rest on generating unnecessary heat) in the Philippines started at the 2008 Philippines Energy Summit, where experts met to

discuss energy security issues in the country when the price of oil had surpassed $100 a barrel”

contributed to bringing down the number of incandescent bulbs from 180 million units a year
in 2007 to almost zero in just 8 years. Now, most countries have followed the
example of the Philippines, not through complicated laws as we thought would be the only way back then but because the

market simply doesn’t buy inefficient incandescent bulbs anymore.

ESSENCE IN THIS ADVOCACY
