rely on.

 There are various alternative sources of energy that the Philippines


can rely on including hydropower uses a fuel – water that is reduced
or used up to in the process and it’s because the water is endless and
also include the geothermal energy the thermal energy generated and
store in the earth and determines the temperature of matter. This
energy originates formation of the planet from radioactive decay of
materials. Solar power is also sources of energy that the Philippines
can rely on this energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly
using photovoltatic (PV). This concentrated solar power systems uses
lenses or mirrors and solar tracking system to focus a large area of
sunlight into a small beam.
