WINDMILLS THE DUTCH WAY SHALL BE INTRODUCED IN THE PHILIPPINES

I propose that we have to establish windmills the Dutch way. The windmills were established by the Dutch to ease the big waters during the floodings, eventually the same was converted into many forms like sawmills, paper machines etc. The same can be used also in producing electricity.

The windmills can also be good tourist destinations for both local and international tourists. We have some pumping stations in Manila to take out waters during floodings but the same is not used for electrification or industrialization. We have windmills in Ilocos but the same is only used for electrification and tourism purposes only but cannot be used in managing the floods. All we need is to build a uni-usage kind of windmills meant for electrification, industrialization, tourism and flood control, and that's the windmills the Dutch had invented.

If the Dutch were able to solve the problems of flooding by way of the windmills and eventually such invention helped their tourism, electrification, and industries, then there is no way for us Filipinos to do the same.

The Dutch were able to establish nine thousand windmills to date whereas the Filipinos have only established some in Ilocos Norte. Take note of the disparity, this difference between the Dutch and the Filipinos in the matter of windmill building shall be equated for the future of the Philippines and for the beginning of the so-called FILIPINO GOLDEN AGE.

In connection to this, our compatriot Filipino engineers, urban planners, architects, and industrialists shall be sent to Netherlands to study their windmills for the Philippines to adopt the same and adapt its system for the sake of Philippine national development. So be it.
