The Philippines and the United States agreed to train Filipinos in building and operating nuclear power plants to boost the Southeast Asian country's electricity supply. Following a November nuclear cooperation agreement, the new deal will offer scholarships and exchange programs for Filipinos to study civil nuclear power and renewable energy. This initiative aims to develop a skilled workforce for clean energy infrastructure. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos is determined to adopt nuclear power, including potentially reviving a mothballed $2.2 billion plant.
