                    [Summary] => Sugarcane planters in Cebu expect the local sugar industry to boom in the next 10 years due to the increasing demand for ethanol. 


Jose Mari Miranda, president of Bogo-Medellin Sugarcane Planters Association, said they are supporting the government's program promoting ethanol as alternative fuel to help lessen the impact of high prices of petroleum products.


"That's the beauty because we have an alternative now. If the price of sugar is low, we plant for ethanol, if there is low demand for ethanol, we would produce table sugar," Miranda said.

                    [Summary] => 



Sen. Richard Gordon pushed anew yesterday for the passage of the ethanol bill in a bid to soften the impact of rising oil prices, made worse by the implementation of the expanded value-added tax (EVAT) on fuel.


"Ethanol is a viable answer to the oil crisis and other related economic problems besetting our country today," Gordon said in a statement.


Gordon noted that ethanol is a renewable energy source "that we can produce locally from indigenous agricultural crops like sugarcane."
