Press Release Body = During the recent awarding of the 2006 Don Emilio Abello Energy

very own Chief Engineer Rogelio D. Lampa was cited as Outstanding Energy Manager of
the year for his continuing initiatives on energy conservation for the hotel.
Through his consistent implementation of various energy efficiency programs,
Richmonde Hotel was honored with the Outstanding Award by the Technical Evaluation
Committee of the DEAEEA for five consecutive years, since 2002. The efforts of Engr.
Lampa to promote energy efficiency in the hotel resulted in significant monetary
savings for the company, more energy-conscious employees, and most importantly,
contributed to the nation's goal of sustainable development.

Because of Engr. Lampa's dedication to the cause of energy efficiency, he was
hand-picked by the DOE to attend the Pilot Training Course for ASEAN Energy
Managers' Training Curriculum held recently in Bangkok, Thailand. After completing
this course, conducted by the European Commission and ASEAN Energy Facility (EAEF)
for the establishment of the ASEAN Energy Manager Accreditation Scheme, and passing
the given theoretical and simulation tests, Engr. Lampa became an ASEAN Certified
Energy Manager.
