MANILA, Philippines — Vice presidential bet and Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III said Tuesday that the Philippines should hike the share of solar power in the country's energy mix by over 50%, after noting that the Philippines is geographically well-positioned to harness power from the sun. 

 

In an interview over DZRH's "Bakit Ikaw" on Tuesday, he also said that the next administration should look at generating power from alternative fuel sources other than conventional fossil fuels. 

 

"We are located in the equator. We are exposed to the sun everyday... I think solar energy only comprises of less than one percent [in our power generation mix]. Solar should account for more than 50% of our energy source," Sotto said in Filipino.
