Maguindanao gets solar icemaker

THE UNITED NATIONS Development Programme (UNDP) and the Embassy of Japan in Manila turned over a solar-powered ice block-making facility to fisherfolk in Parang, Maguindanao del Norte to help achieve food security in the area.

“By harnessing solar power, we reduce our carbon footprint and provide a reliable and cost-effective energy source, resilient to the region’s infrastructure challenges,” UNDP Philippines Resident Representative Dr. Selva Ramachandran said in a statement.

The facility was turned over on June 19. — Beatriz Marie D. Cruz
