On November 05, 2023, the Quality Assurance and Technology Office (QATO) at WCC Aeronautical & Technological College Binalonan along with the Community Extension and Services Office (CESO) and the Unified Council of Aviators conducted the first-ever seminar on water and energy efficiency for the business owners of their adopted community, Brgy. Canarvacanan, Binalonan. The organizers invited experts from PANELCO III and BIWAD to share their knowledge and advice on water and energy efficiency.
The program formally started with the opening remarks of Barangay Captain Ferdinand Cabida of Brgy. Canarvacanan where he thanked the WCC ATC Binalonan for choosing their barangay residents as participants of the seminar on water and energy efficiency.
The first speaker of the seminar was Engr. Roland A. Aquino, the Power Use Development Engineer of PANELCO III. He discussed the organizational structure of PANELCO III and provided explanation on how energy is being transferred through power lines and how it reaches our household. His discussion on best practices was engaging and informative, as he shared practical tips on energy-efficient appliance use. For instance, he explained that when using an electric fan, it is more energy-efficient to avoid using the oscillating function, as this feature consumes significantly more power compared to keeping the fan steady.
