Energy solutions provider Vena Energy embraced on the spirit of togetherness at the recent Palarong Pambansa (national games) to share its renewable energy technology and advocacy for sustainability. The event brought 18,000 athletes, coaches, and officials to Ilocos Norte from May 24 to May 31, 2025.

The company built a solar-powered cauldron for participants and spectators to experience and appreciate renewable power during the games. Vena Energy said it wanted to convey how “blessed” the nation is “with abundant natural resources like sunlight and wind,” as these enable “clean energy sources” to provide many benefits to the country. These include combating climate change through renewable energy investments, higher energy independence from local resources, increased access to electricity for remote and underserved communities, and reduced air and water pollution.

The cauldron replaced the traditional torch used to mark the start of the games, reducing the carbon footprint of the event.

“The involvement of Vena Energy in the Palarong Pambansa…(is) a reflection of the company’s core mission,” the company explained in a release. “As a leading green energy solutions provider in the Asia-Pacific region, (we are) actively accelerating the transition to sustainable and affordable renewable energy in the Philippines.” It added that its wind and solar farms investments in the country demonstrate their commitment to development large-scale, renewable energy projects to supply the country with clean energy, drive innovation through their technologies, and implement sustainable practices in partnership with local communities.
