Lanao del Sur, Philippines — The Provincial Government of Lanao del Sur is gearing up for the continuation of the Development for Renewable Energy Applications Mainstreaming and Market Sustainability (DREAMS) Project. Spearheaded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Philippines and the Department of Energy, the initiative aims to implement renewable energy solutions in selected government medical facilities across the province. The project is set to commence in the first quarter of 2025.

Hadji Malik and Shahaya T. Papandayan.
Discussions revolved around preparation strategies, coordination with stakeholders, and ensuring the project’s successful implementation. The DREAMS project aims to enhance the energy resilience of medical facilities, enabling them to deliver critical healthcare services sustainably and efficiently.
Governor Mamintal “Bombit” Alonto Adiong, Jr. has been a staunch advocate for developmental initiatives in Lanao del Sur, leveraging partnerships with UNDP Philippines to advance key projects. These efforts span various areas, including women’s empowerment, peace and security, renewable energy, Marawi rehabilitation, economic recovery, and institutional development.
