Former Senate Leader and current Presidential Candidate, Sen. Manny Villar, submitted a resolution (Senate Resolution 1531) last Dec 16. 2009 before Congress in support of private investment to develop frontier geothermal sites in the Philippines. Geothermal Frontier areas are those unexplored geothermal sites that the government has no resource data on.
The main purpose of this is to avert the energy crisis in the island of Mindanao which could curtail the Rural Electrification Program of the country.
