Two known Global Renewable Energy (RE) developer service provider and Bay Wa r. e. Solar Trade have forged together with educational platform New Energy Academy (NEA) to hasten the development the Philippines solar industry.

The merger of the two world renowned RE entities, is the first ever the Philippines, with an international educational institute such as the NEA, to enable the training of solar industry professionals conducted in the country.

“It will see NEA and Bay Wa r.e. leveraging combined skills and resources to develop and roll out certification program for businesses and applied technologies in the R E sector.” Also, foreseen is upscaling of roof top installations and engineering, procurement, and construction companies in the country.

Meanwhile, Bay Wa r.e. Solar Trade has committed to a long-term agreement, including the promised expertise to uplift the solar industry and bring like-minded individuals to benefit the country’s energy transition, quoting its top management.

Part of the partnership program, finds Bay Wa r.e. and NEA conducting online 8-week training modules as well as conduct workshops in select areas of the country, viz., encouraging engineering students to learn about solar, get into the industry, and adopt exciting energy – a need for continual education and upscaling of solar professionals to handle solar energy related projects.

MY COMMENT:

Indeed, a booster to the Philippines solar industry program following the team up of the two globally renown solar entities. What is most appreciated is the partnerships’ plan to conduct training, workshops to hone Filipino manpower to be involve in the solar industry, including engineering students exposure to solar issues.

WE are familiar with the Beatitudes. (cfr. Mt 5,1-12) At first glance, they appear to us as a crazy formulation of what would make us blessed. How can you be blessed if you are poor in spirit, if you mourn, if you are meek, insulted and persecuted, etc.?

But they actually teach us that since we would always be weighed down by our limitations and weaknesses and endlessly hounded by all kinds of temptations and evil, we are assured that such conditions are golden opportunities for us to achieve what would consist as our true and ultimate joy, and our human fulfillment and perfection.

We have to be ready for these conditions and know not only how to deal with them but also how to derive something good from them. In these instances of the hard predicaments, for example, when we seem to be at a loss as to what to do, we should just see at what God does, after we have done all things possible to solve our problems.

We need to trust in God’s providence and mercy. We have to learn to live a spirit of abandonment in the hands of God. Yes, if we have faith in God, in his wisdom and mercy, in his unfailing love for us, we know that everything will always work out for the good. If we are with God, we can always dominate whatever suffering can come our way in the same manner that Christ absorbed all his passion and death on the cross.

Let’s always remember that God, in his ineffable ways, can also talk to us through these crosses. In fact, he can convey precious messages and lessons through them. It would be good that we have a theological attitude toward them, and be wary of our tendency to react to them in a purely human way, based only on our senses and feelings and on worldly trends.

In all our affairs and situations in life, we should always go to God to ask for his help and guidance, and to trust his ways and his providence, even if the outcome of our prayers and petitions appears unanswered, if not, contradicted. If our faith is strong and abiding, we know that God is always around and is most eager to help us in the best way.

This should be the attitude to have. It’s an attitude that can only indicate our unconditional faith and love for God who is always in control of things, and at the same time can also leave us in peace and joy even at the worst of the possibilities.

Remember the Book of Ecclesiastes where it says that for everything there is a season, “a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal…” But everything is under God’s control.

We have to follow the example of the many characters in the gospel who, feeling helpless in the many predicaments they were in, earnestly rushed to Christ for some succor. They went to him unafraid and unashamed and they got what they wanted. Even when we think we are undeserving of God’s care, we should just go to him.

It may happen that we may not get what we want. And in this, we should not be too surprised or too worried. What is sure is that God always listens and gives us what is best for us, even if what God gives us is not what we asked for.
