Malacañang asks Filipinos to participate in Earth Hour

Malacañang is encouraging the public to participate in this year's Earth Hour from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday (March 28) to conserve energy, hoping that Filipinos would adopt the practice on a daily basis.

"Every year that this is commemorated, we see more and more people participating, but beyond the shutting of your lights from 8:30 to 9:30 tonight, we hope that we continue to do more on a daily basis to be able to conserve energy," Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a radio interview on Saturday.
