                    [Summary] => 

When the Biofuels Act of 2006 was signed into law back in January 2007, it did not only assure us of cleaner air, it promised to reduce our fuel importation by 12 percent as well as “resuscitate and strengthen the economic health of both our coconut and sugar industry” which in turn would “alleviate poverty by reducing our dependency on imports” by making sure our prices were not being dictated to by big importers. Or so goes the pitch.

TPBA convenor Cris Michelena said there is no need to delay the law’s implementation as this will only spell "weakness" in the law.

The government is now finalizing the implementing rules and regulations of the new law.

Michelena said any delay would also signal impediments on the industry’s effort to help in the issue of "climate change".
