MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines might be able to deploy nuclear projects in three years' time if the next administration prioritizes the inclusion of nuclear in the power mix, among others, according to two officials from the Department of Energy (DOE).

 

This comes around a month after the Palace announced that President Rodrigo Duterte inked Executive Order (EO) 164 which commits the Philippines to developing a nuclear power program. 

 

It is too late for the current administration to accomplish something that will turn Duterte's nuclear ambitions into reality since he only has one month left before he steps down. It is up to Duterte's successor to adopt nuclear or reverse the policy.
