CFL energy saving bulbs to save power, lessen bills

From The Freeman  November 20, 2009   CEBU, Philippines - The Visayan
Electric Company says the use of Compact Fluorescent Lamps would save not
only substantial supply of energy for Cebu but it would also lessen the
monthly electric bills in each household.

VECO will initially be distributing 250,000 CFLs for Cebu consumers. One
incandescent bulb would be equivalent to one CFL and each household could
trade a maximum of six incandescent bulbs.

Aboitiz explained further that 250 thousand incandescent bulbs in exchange
for CFLs would already be equivalent to the total demand of a big mall in
Cebu City.

Kyamko said that other than the different advantages brought about by the
use of CFL, the Philippines would also be saving almost $120 million every

the energy suppliers are still using for their operations.

The distribution of the CFLs in Cebu will take place in three VECO branches-
SM, Talisay and Consolacion.  Continue reading here
