Signing the Memorandum of Cooperation, which seeks to turn Makati into the first Energy Efficient City in Southeast Asia, are (left-right): Ms. Myrna C. Fernandez, Assistant Vice President of Ayala Land Inc.; Mr. Mario A Deriquito, Director of Ayala Foundation - Center for Social Development; Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay; Mr. Von Hernandez, Executive Director of Greenpeace Southeast Asia; Architect Christopher Dela Cruz, Chairman and President of Philippine Green Building Council; and Mr. Adolfo Duarte, President of Makati Commercial Estates Authority. The Energy Efficient City project is an initiative that seeks to involve local governments and their citizens in reducing a city's carbon footprint as a way to help stop climate change. The project will run an extensive public awareness campaign and establish a multi-sectoral working group that will introduce energy efficiency measures in schools, hospitals, commercial establishments and businesses. Among the first steps will be the development and implementation of Energy Efficient Building Guidelines, which will be launched later this year.
