Posh Makati hotel gets P1.3-M reward

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has awarded over P1.3 million in subsidy to the five-star hotel The Peninsula Manila for using an environmental-friendly air-conditioning system.

In a ceremony held at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Nature Center, Environment Secretary Ramon Paje said that the amount represents 15 percent of the cost of its newly installed chiller that uses ozone-friendly refrigerants in compliance with the requirements under the Philippine Chiller Energy Efficient Project (PCEEP), a World Bank-assisted project being implemented by the DENR.
