Water Company Goes Green, Traffic Remains Yellow

Manila — Solar Power Meets Daily Commute

Manila Water and MSpectrum activated 3.8 MWp of solar capacity across 10 facilities, prompting satire blogs to question whether jeepneys could now plug in for free during rush hour. Social media posts depicted miniature solar panels on tricycles and motorcycles, with captions like “Now Charging… Hopefully Not My Patience.”

Street vendors adapted by selling solar-powered fans to pedestrians, while commuters speculated on whether photovoltaic umbrellas could double as shields against rain. Cartoonists drew panels showing Manila’s skyline with giant solar panels powering traffic lights and karaoke bars alike. Original Inquirer report: here.
