A lawmaker on Sunday urged the incoming administration of President-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to ask Norway to develop the West Philippine Sea (WPS) as a source of clean and renewable offshore wind energy. In a statement, Makati City Rep. Luis Campos Jr. said offshore wind farms in the WPS would be consistent with the long-term plans to develop the area as the country’s energy hub. Campos was responding to Norwegian Ambassador Bjorn Jahnsen’s pledge that it would help develop the Philippines’ wind and other renewable energy resources during a briefing following his meeting with Marcos.
