  "The
discovery of natural gas in 1989 in the offshore deepwater area
of northwest Palawan paved the way for the Philippines to expand
its available energy resources. It marked the birth of a natural
gas industry in the Philippines, making available alternative
indigenous energy resources to fuel our country's economic
activities at an affordable cost with minimal impact to the
environment.
The
discovery provided a foundation for sustainable development and
opened up unparalleled investment opportunities through
expansion of gas markets to non-power applications, particularly
for the transport sector to take advantage of the benefits
natural gas offers to improve our local air quality."
