  • There is a need to resolve accumulated debts with EPS and electricity companies.
  • A risk of blackout exists due to a gas deficit, with gas now being imported for essential residential demand.
  • The country is experiencing a deficit in oil and gas exploration, threatening energy security.
  • Significant debts with the electricity sector, estimated at 9 trillion pesos for unpaid subsidies, jeopardize the viability of companies.
  • Clear leadership and motivation are crucial for the military and police, as a lack of defined directives impacts their operational understanding.
  • The government must establish a clear roadmap for attracting private investment in strategic sectors like infrastructure, housing, and mining-energy.
  • The process of reorienting public management and establishing agreements for strategic projects should begin in August of the following year.
