Coal was the primary fuel source, wood was used for heating, and natural gas for lighting diminishing the use of water and wind energy. Throughout the 1900s then from 1945 to the present, oil and natural gas were primary fuel sources and electricity became more common with nuclear, solar, water, and wind have played a larger role in the production of energy. Aside from the above energy sources, alternatives like geothermal and biomass continue to grow in use and enhancements of technology to improve viability. We can recall the first discovered energy in 1752 by Benjamin Franklin through experimentation by emitting sparks from lightning strikes that generated power. It was part of the Industrial Revolution for electricity. Originally, the energy of the sun is the source of most of the energy found on Earth. The solar heat we get from the sun, and sunlight produces electricity from solar (photovoltaic) cells. Coal as the oldest energy in the world, still dominates its usage. But with the UN's 3Ps advocate, it seems that this source of energy will be reduced. Nikola Tesla, the father of our modern energy systems contributed to the science of energy and rivaled his chief competitor, Thomas Edison. Such an energy visionary, Tesla laid the groundwork for the electricity generation and delivery systems that we know today. His statement up to now, echoed sentiments from among us, thus said, \"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.\" For continuation, see page 32

MAY 2023 ISSUE 5 Vol. 1 who's who I met NA Jess Mendoza during the However, NA Jess can still complete the last culmination of my duties on December 2022 where we also signed the turnover paper as a phase of his doctorate journey. It's a matter of sign of authority for him to do the audit work for 2023. He was cool, simple, and yet confident giving some time to do the needful. that he can carry on the task for the next 365 days. The work of an auditor is just like a Before working as a Plant Maintenance person who wants to dig everything in the organization's scarce resources if being Superintendent of NAPOCOR's Kabugao DPP, governed safely by the leader and his lieutenants during his core of duty. SPUG Luzon, he went through the ladder that His highest accomplishment is his Doctorate most of our successful engineers were in Public Administration with only a dissertation to prepare and complete before a battery of experiencing that kind of hierarchical doctorate panelists. This last phase of an academic journey seemed too heavy to those at succession. He was relegated to Trainer in the their pinnacle of success unless that doctorate candidate is too serious to finish it within the maintenance and operations of a Diesel Power timeframe. As an academician and researcher, and defense panelist, I found it too heavy for Plant of TESDA, likewise as the TESDA technical those who are in the last leg of their doctorate if they will not grab the opportunity to expert panel member for validating the training completely running the race to succeed regulation as NCIII of the Diesel Power Plant Maintenance. Additionally, he was a pollution control officer of the Kabugao DPP before rising to Cluster Head of the Northern Luzon Calayan DPP, Palanan DPP, Maconacon DPP, Camiguin Mini-Grid, Kabugao DPP, and Lubuagan DPP. It shows that NA Jess was fully involved in the operations and maintenance of a Diesel Power Plant. It is one of the sources of energy that until now cannot be easily replaced by renewable energy as most of engineers will see it go in favor of the latter. His being a Mechanical Maintenance Head propelled him to the highest position he lastly occupied as Plant Maintenance Superintendent. Engr. Jess Mendoza had some distinctions to be proud of like being an Outstanding Engineer provided by the Media Writer Association of the Philippines, the Lingkod Bayan Award of NLOD Group provided by the Civil Service Commission, and a Resource Person and Assessor for the NAPOCOR Diesel Plant Operations.

MAY 2023 ISSUE 5 Vol. 1 who's who James Abarca is a tripartite kind of engineer Although he was successful as an involved in the consultancy, construction, and manufacturing industries. His involvement in entrepreneur, James caved in and look for these three areas might well be due to his exposure as a practicing engineer and as an greener pastures and two years gained entrepreneur. James might not have thoughts about all these endeavors while doing his knowledge directly from the chairman of the mechanical engineering studies but due to opportunities that came his way, he did not have board of H2O Engineering & Technology as any option but to grab it. He succeeded in these areas. Now he wants to prove something by Regional Director for their Baguio and Cagayan returning all these blessings to be part of PSME nationally as the VP for the Luzon Region. James Valley projects. For two years, James' knowledge as early after graduating with his mechanical engineering from Saint Louie University in soars up but remains cool. He transferred to Baguio, started working as a technician from Sanyo and Ricoh office automation for two years, HAPCO Group (FZCO) as a client representative then train his sights in construction projects for a year as a mechanical engineer with a local firm, on their mechanical engineering projects ALPA-PCM, Inc. His craving for projects paved him to become an entrepreneur by having his particularly on the fire protection system. own construction and maintenance company on MEP for four years which provided him the For the first time, he ventured on overseas opportunity to learn the trade and be an expert on it. work and found his way to Doha, Qatar working . as Asst. Technical Manager for Darwish Trading Company WLL on their ACVR projects for two years. Not contented with his first two-year stint, he landed in Singapore for some projects in fire protection as a project manager for nine years, the longest stay in an overseas company compared to his previous 1 or 2 years of experience. Throughout those 9 years, he successfully managed 11 projects which provided him leverage in the field of project construction, engineering, management, and all areas of activities that he cannot imagine. He was with the Deluge Fire Protection(S.E.A.) PTE LTD., Singapore. Now, on his own, he partnered with Firetech Equipment & Systems PVT Limited of Mumbai-India & S.E.A. as the Business Development Manager. James now has his own company a consultancy and an engineering and construction which deals in mechanical and fire protection projects, and a general contractor and project management of large MEPF projects. As young as he is at 49, James received prestigious awards, joined prestigious organizations, received certificates in training and seminars, and was ready to be at par with the leading contractors in the Philippines.

The Official Newsletter of PSME Continued from page 1 This phenomenon leads us to believe that Reflection: Tesla's golden statement should be considered as our reality, time, gravity, Nikola Tesla: \"If you want to find the secrets of vision, hearing, and feelings (inside our the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, brain), are related to waves. and vibration.\" Our natural world and the digital world There are three components in this Tesla golden largely depend on wave physics. Most of our statement: energy, frequency, and vibration which I electronic devices like smartphones, can surmise as the independent variables. The computers, cameras, and microphones, dependent variable is the universe itself and the among others, have Analog Digital United Nations is doing some initiatives to Converters (ADC) and their sole purpose is conserve the universe from decaying. to convert analog waves (electromagnetic or mechanical waves) into digital signals which Understanding Tesla's golden statement needs appear as binary information on our deep interpretation of the provided variables such computers and allows us to do all kinds of as energy, frequency, and vibration which if we image processing, auto processing, etc. The recollect our elementary research on signal Digital Analog Converter (DAC) combined processing, acoustics, and electromagnetism, we with transponders like antennas or speakers have to understand the universe.
