The Philippines is heavily reliant on non-renewable energy sources. This type of reliance results in fluctuating and rising energy prices. 

Electricity costs in the Philippines are among the highest in Southeast Asia, with households often facing high bills due to the use of air conditioning and other energy-intensive appliances. Unfortunately, these costs can account for a substantial portion of a family’s monthly budget, leading to financial strain, especially in low-income communities.
