During a recent barangay forum at the Negros Occidental Provincial Capitol Social Hall, the Department of Energy (DOE) offered tips on energy conservation.

According to DOE Energy Industry Management Division officer-in-charge, Engr. Jose Rey Maleza, there are several ways to responsibly reduce energy consumption.

He suggested ironing on a weekly basis, checking the refrigerator door for leaks, and unplugging appliances not be used.

DOE said such practices will reduce energy consumption and lower electric bills.

Over 100 farmers, fisherfolk, barangay officials, students, and Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program officials attended the event./WDJ
