A GROUP of climate reality leaders called on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., also popularly known as BBM, to stay true to his administration's climate agenda, which focused primarily on renewable energy (RE) after he delivered his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 22.

In a statement on their website after the SONA, the Climate Reality Project Philippines said that while it 'holds promise' for underserved communities, Marcos' call for a unified Philippine grid fell short of addressing the country's broader energy woes.
