Coal-fired power plants, a burning issue


In the Visayas and Mindanao, one of the current burning development-related issues is the insistence of the coal-fired power plant projects even as the people in the areas where they are being pushed are protesting.

In the Visayas, the province of Cebu is where these projects are being pushed currently.
