On 9 December, GFPS members from TransCo, National Power Corporation (NPC) and Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corporation have convened in the forum titled “GADtogether: Sharing of Best GAD Practices in the Energy Sector” where they tackled the difficulties of implementing GAD programs during pandemic, including but not limited to travel restrictions and imposition of community quarantines, as well as health risks. Aside from this, the virtual gathering also paved the way to discuss the salient provisions of Republic Act (RA) 11312 or Safe Spaces Act.
