I know. We are definitely trying to stay away from foreign dependence with oil.

We have geothermal power and hydroelectric. And we are seriously into biofuels.

There’s lots of coconuts here to begin with! LOL

Ask to your government sign an agreement with Brazil, so we can transfer the ethanol technology for your country!

Why transfer only the technology?

Just give us the ethanol itself! LOL

Ah, ngayon alam ko na ang ibig mong sabihin.

The ethanol production can become an industry that will create more jobs!

Nice thinking!

Who got your ethanol technology?

Of course, Brazil will not allow that!

Brazil transfers, as long it finds reliable partners.

We have ethanol production here. But what’s lacking is raw materials. It’s a choice between food or fuel.

I guess then it would be better buy from Brazil, it’s cheap anyway.

That’s a good idea. Although, the main concept really is for the Philippines not to be dependent on foreign fuel.

Though I hope that when the Philippines does need extra supply of ethanol that it gets from Brazil because, for sure, there will be a steady supply. ;)
