Balanced energy, robust water systems crucial for economic growth — De Dios
Business World Philippines
|November 26, 2025
MANILA WATER CO,, Inc. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jose Victor Emmanuel A. de Dios said a balanced portfolio of energy sources, supported by strong infrastructure, is essential for economic growth and attracting investment.
“I'll stick by my position that a balanced portfolio of generating assets is the way to go forward, given the economic situation we face. That said, energy infrastructure is very important, not just to pay lip service to sustainability trends and all; it’s really to try to attract foreign investors,” Mr. De Dios said during the BusinessWorld Forecast 2026 fireside chat on Tuesday.
“So, if you were to ask me, I would take a very pragmatic view of things. It’s very good to have renewable energy in the mix.”
Mr. De Dios also said that while energy often dominates discussions on the green transition, water infrastructure should not be overlooked, noting that inadequate water systems affect consumers directly and sectors such as tourism indirectly.

There's already a deal to beat dirty fossil fuels
A UNITED NATIONS climate summit has once again failed to strengthen a pledge made two years ago to transition \"away from fossil fuels.\" Instead, these dirty drivers of the climate crisis went completely unacknowledged in the weekend's COP30 agreement. It's disappointing, certainly, but a more ambitious outcome wouldn't have been much better.
