Title and Definition
Republic Act No. 8749, otherwise known as the Philippine Clean Air Act, is
a comprehensive air quality management policy and program which aims to
achieve and maintain healthy air for all Filipinos.

The National Power Corporation (Filipino: Pambansang Korporasyon sa

Elektrisidad, also known as the NPC, Napocor or National Power), is a
government-owned and controlled corporation that used to be the largest
provider and generator of electricityin the Philippines. It was also the principal
power provider for Manila Electric, the only power distributor in the Metro
Manila area.

Napocor used to be the country's largest corporation in terms of revenue.

Profitability however is a main concern because it is now in the business of
missionary electrification that provides electricity to far-flung, off-grid remote
areas and islands at subsidized rates.[1]As a government owned and controlled
corporation, Napocor is subject to the scrutiny of the Commission on Audit (COA)
and the Governance Commission for Government Owned and Controlled
Corporations (GCG). It also manages 17 large dams and 11 watersheds in the
country and continues to oversee the privatization of the government's remaining
undisposed power assets.

The damaged transformer rendered Unit 40 of Santa Rita inoperable and resulted in
the loss of a quarter – or approximately 250 MW – of Santa Rita’s 1,000-MW supply
of electricity to the Luzon grid.
