JEERS to the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), along with the Philippine media outlets which uncritically copy-pasted the PCO's amateurish attempt at propaganda as actual news, concerning the headline, 'Leading nuclear power energy firm to invest in PH.' Apart from the awkward wording of that headline (the press release, dated May 1, can be found on the PCO website), it is riddled with inaccuracies apparently intended to mislead the Philippine public into believing that a functioning nuclear plant will be operating here as soon as 'the early 2030s.'

You can go ahead and just stop holding your breath now, because there won't be an operating nuclear power plant in the Philippines that soon. At this point, the odds are better that there won't be an operating nuclear plant in the Philippines, given the extremely shaky progress being made by the 'leading nuclear power energy firm' involved, or at least not before sometime in the latter half of next decade.
