Governor Daniel R. Fernando called on his fellow Bulakenyos to take part in Earth Hour by switching off unnecessary lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 25. According to Fernando, simple acts including turning off lights on streets and signages, in offices, homes and other establishments could have a huge impact on the global fight against climate change. “Ramdam natin ang pagbabago ng panahon. Nararanasan natin ang mga negatibong epekto ng climate change. Ngunit hindi pa huli ang lahat. Bawat isa sa atin ay may maiaambag upang tulungan ang Inang Kalikasan. May magagawa tayo. Umpisahan natin sa ating mga tahanan. Isang oras para sa ating kinabukasan (We felt the climate change. We experienced the negative effects of climate change. But it's not too late. Each of us can contribute to help Mother Earth. We can do something. Let us start in our home. One hour for our future),"  the governor urged. Earth Hour is a global event encouraging people to switch off their lights, an iconic action symbolizing unity and hope, and demonstrating the power of collective action for the future of the planet. In addition to switching off lights this year, Earth Hour organizers also encourage people to have an hour to learn more about Earth and inspire others to care for the planet.
