The Department of
Energy is revving up its campaign to promote the use of electric tricycles with
the donation of 900 units of e-trikes to the local governments of Pateros town
and the cities of Las Piñas, Muntinlupa and Valenzuela.
Energy Secretary
Alfonso G. Cusi yesterday signed with the respective mayors of the four LGUs
separate memorandums of agreement (MOA) on the receipt of the e-trikes.
“The DOE E-Trike
project encourages the transition from oil to cleaner sources of energy,” Cusi
said during the signing ceremony held in Taguig City.

“The 900 units to be given to the four cities will benefit many communities, in
terms of livelihood and the services that it can provide to the people,” Cusi
said.
The donation includes
100 e-trickes for Las Piñas, 150 for Muntinlupa, 400 for Pateros, and 250
for Valenzuela
The LGUs, based on the
MOA, were obliged to comply with the documentary requirements, among
other prerequisites, such as the crafting of their proposal for the use of the
e-trikes.
The donation to the
Metro Manila LGUs followed the grant of 200 units of e-trikes to Marawi City as
rehabilitation efforts gathered pace. —RONNEL W. DOMINGO
