MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday opened the Philippines' first interactive energy museum at the Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Center in Taguig City. The museum transforms complex energy concepts into engaging and accessible learning experiences for the public. During the inauguration, the President emphasized the importance of disseminating knowledge and fostering public interest in the energy sector. The exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the latest technologies in the Philippines' energy mix.
