In its 14 September 2026 issue, China Electric Power News featured an interview with Philippine Department of Energy Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella, Co-Chair of the APEC Energy Resilience Task Force, highlighting the importance of youth education, public participation and regional cooperation in strengthening energy security.
Written by reporter Wang Ke, the article carries the headline “We should cultivate energy awareness among young people.” It covers Fuentebella’s participation in the 21st APEC Energy Resilience Task Force meeting and a seminar on power-system resilience, held in Beijing on 7 September.
The article highlights five key messages: . Fuentebella emphasized helping young people understand energy issues and participate in discussions. Schools, media and accessible explanations from experts can develop future energy leaders and support long-term energy security.
. Beyond technology and infrastructure, effective energy governance requires public understanding and participation. Communities need to know what measures are being taken, how they work and why they matter. Public communication and demand management are essential.
. Sharing technical expertise, experience and practical solutions can help economies translate regional cooperation into concrete measures that provide accessible and reliable energy services.
. The Philippines’ exposure to typhoons, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions underscores the need for energy systems that can withstand disruptions and recover quickly.
. Fuentebella stressed that AI requires reliable energy data and sound management systems. Together with renewable energy and other technologies, these tools can strengthen the resilience of the energy sector.
The article connects these priorities to a practical goal for the Philippines: reliable energy services supported by informed communities, prepared institutions and stronger international cooperation.
