Renewable energy firm Citicore inks $120-M deal with Indonesia's Pertamina NRE
Citicore Renewable Energy Corp. (CREC) on Thursday said inked a $120-million strategic partnership agreement with Indonesia's state-owned Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (NRE), which includes a share subscription and a joint exploration of renewable energy (RE) investments in Indonesia.
Under the agreement, Pertamina NRE will subscribe to a 20% interest in CREC, and the two parties will explore RE investments in Indonesia including the potential development of solar and wind power projects, and collaboration related to carbon credit development and trading.
'With Pertamina NRE, we can view the energy transition through a different lens and create responsive, collaborative solutions for clean energy in the Philippines and Indonesia,' CREC president and chief executive officer Oliver Tan said.
CREC, through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, manages a diversified portfolio of renewable energy generation projects, and is engaged in power project development operations, along with participating in retail electricity supply.
Pertima NRE, fully owned by Indonesia's state-owned energy corporation Pertamina, is responsible for managing all power generation and new and renewable energy development, focusing on gas-based power generation, geothermal energy, and other renewable sources such as solar and wind power.
'We are leading the charge in Indonesia's renewable energy transition, and our partnership with Citicore, with their expertise and experience in RE development, is a way to elevate our capability in RE development, as well as a big step in accelerating our clean energy goals,' Pertamina NRE chief executive officer John Anis said.
'In the same light, we are committed to support Citicore and the Philippines with our own expertise, technology, and best practices,' he added. — Jon Viktor D. Cabuenas/BM, GMA Integrated News

Indonesia to cut tariffs, non-tariff barriers in US trade deal —Trump official
Indonesia will drop tariffs to zero on more than 99% of its trade with the United States and will also eliminate all non-tariff barriers for American goods in a deal that cuts threatened U.S. tariffs on Indonesian products to 19% from an initial 32%, a senior Trump administration official said on Tuesday. Indonesia will immediately drop its plans to levy tariffs on internet data flows and will support renewal of a longstanding World Trade Organization moratorium on e-commerce duties, the official told reports on a conference call held a week after the deal was first announced on July 15. Indonesia also will remove recently enacted pre-shipment inspection and verifications of U.S. exports, which have posed problems for U.S. agricultural exports and contributed to a growing U.S. farm trade deficit, the official said. In a win for U.S. automakers, the official said that Indonesia has agreed to accept U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for vehicles exported from the United States to the growing country of 280 million people. Indonesia also has agreed to remove export restrictions on critical minerals and remove local content requirements products using these commodities shipped to the U.S. —Reuters

Meet Bran Reluao, the 'digital diplomat' and PH's youngest special envoy to Thailand
The world of diplomacy is a highly respected field in which seasoned diplomats represent their countries to foster communication and build relationships with other nations. Traditionally, members of the diplomatic corps rise through the ranks as career diplomats, but the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is welcoming a new wave of younger individuals into the fold. Meet Bran Reluao. At just 28, the communications graduate from Far Eastern University — who also has an MBA in Business Administration from Philippine Christian University — holds the distinction of being the Philippines' youngest Special Envoy to the Kingdom of Thailand. He was appointed in May and assumed office a month later. Unlike career diplomats, his Special Envoy designation is not the result of climbing the traditional ranks, but a Presidential appointment, a role given to individuals tasked with specific roles abroad. Speaking to GMA News Online, Reluao admitted to initially feeling hesitant about the appointment. Engaging with seasoned individuals in the diplomatic world is its own kind of intimidating, after all. But he eventually warmed up to the idea, stepped up for the role, and was even dubbed the "digital diplomat guy." Talking about being the youngest in the nation's diplomatic world, Reluao said he was surprised at how welcoming his colleagues were at the Department of Foreign Affairs to his appointment, washing away his hesitation. "It was a fun conversation that they told me, 'We are so thrilled that there's now a digital diplomat,'" he recalled. "I'm very passionate about digital innovation, so they're very excited and welcoming about it," he added. Tasks as a special envoy While special envoys are typically sent to handle trade and investment partnerships in other countries, Reluao's assignment is unlike most others. His mission in Thailand revolves around technology innovation to promote digital transformation in the Philippines. "My very diplomatic mission is to build a Philippine-Thailand tech corridor. Because there's already a Thailand-Malaysian tech corridor or a Malaysian-Indonesian tech corridor, but there's no existing tech corridor between the Philippines and Thailand," he said. Tech corridors mean the exchange of ideas between two countries through learning and cooperation in areas such as artificial intelligence, technology, digital innovation, among others. Reluao's diplomatic mission is part of the country's preparation to host the ASEAN Summit in 2026, where digital diplomacy will be a key theme. Through his Special Envoy role, Reluao aims to draw lessons from Thailand's impressive technological progress, particularly from Thailand's Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), which he described as "an agency dedicated only to the digital economy." One of his goals is to spark a similar movement like DEPA in the country by advocating for a more dedicated agency focused on digital innovation, beyond what current institutions like the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) can offer. Reluao also seeks to support the President's aim to lower the internet costs in the Philippines by learning from Thailand's impressive internet infrastructure. "Here in the Philippines, our internet per month, for example, P999 is already equivalent to a whole year in Thailand. So the President wants to slash the internet cost," he said. Aside from digital connectivity, Reluao is also looking into Thailand's financial literacy in terms of the widespread usage of digital banking, as well as its rising startup culture. The Special Envoy has already made early strides in his newly minted role. On his latest trip to Thailand, Reluao visited Chulalongkorn University and was impressed by the Integrated Innovation program designed to create startup-ready graduates. "Their goal is that by the end of their four-year term, they would have a business, a licensed business," he said, adding that the idea is something he can push for in terms of education in the Philippines. Meanwhile, in June, he attended the Japan-ASEAN Startup Business Matching Fair 2025, where the representatives of participating countries engaged in meaningful dialogue about trade, investment, innovation, and industrial cooperation. In July, Reluao hosted an appreciation dinner for Thai Embassy officials to culminate their latest cultural visit to Intramuros, the walled City of Manila. With just less than two months in, his visit to Thailand and attendance at the business matching fair in Japan are among the significant things he has done and participated in as a Special Envoy. The pulse of the youth Beyond his diplomatic duties, Reluao is also the chief executive officer of RepublicAsia, a data-driven advertising and media company he founded in 2022, that taps into the youth's sentiments, behavior, and values. "At RepublicAsia, we have data scientists who understand the behavior of the young generation, and then they start creating publication materials based on that," he said. Sharing his insights on today's youth and based on RepublicAsia's latest data, Reluao said Gen Zs place importance on three major things as of the moment: mental health and advocacy, respecting one's gender identity and pronouns, and embracing flexible setups in the workplace. Regarding mental health, Reluao said that in RepublicAsia specifically, he lets his staff take their time with work so as to avoid unnecessary pressure. "Most of the big corporations don't understand that being creative, being a good writer, needs a certain amount of time to [hone your work]," he said. "But some people are pressured to do things because they have certain numbers to [catch]." Reluao champions a culture where young writers and creatives are free to express themselves without pressure by allowing them "to write freely." "We still have an editor-in-chief so it should still be aligned with journalistic ethics and code. But I give them freedom to write in their own way," he said. Meanwhile, Reluao is all for respecting gender identity and knowing one's pronouns. "I have noticed that people in the younger generation are very particular with their pronouns, with their identifications," he said, adding "I think we need to be mindful and be respectful of that, on how they identify themselves." Another trend among the youth, according to Reluao, is the shift toward flexible and remote work environments. "[My staff] keeps telling me that in the office, they are pressured compared to when they are working, say, in coffee shops or wherever they want," he said. Reluao said he has no problem with flexible setups, as long as "they can perform and submit their outputs." The young CEO sees this evolving culture not as resistance, but as a new standard, especially with Gen Zs slowly dominating the workforce. "Big corporations need to understand that we are now becoming more diversified and more outspoken," he said. "Gen Zs are not afraid to talk." Reluao makes his own appointment as a Special Envoy as an example of Gen Zs undeniable presence in the workforce, reflecting Marcos' belief that young voices should be included in shaping the future. "I think the President believes that we need new, young blood in the government," he said. "We need more [of the] younger generation to think, to be outspoken, and not to be afraid," he said. "That's how the country should move forward." Personal advocacy on digital inclusion Staying true to his commitment to digital inclusion and innovation, Reluao launched the Pay IT Forward initiative in April, which aims to provide digital tools and training to underserved students and educators nationwide. This initiative is in partnership with the Department of Education, the Department of Budget and Management, the DICT, and iACADEMY. The Pay It Forward initiative has also partnered with Sparkle GMA Artist Center to give Sparkle artists and Status by Sparkle content creators workshops and scholarships. Earlier in July, Camp Bagong Amai Pakpak Elementary School in Marawi City, a learning institution that previously benefited from classrooms built by the GMA Kapuso Foundation, received a donation of 150 tablets and three 50-inch smart TVs through the Pay IT Forward initiative. According to Reluao, it was his first time visiting Marawi with Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Network senior vice president, for the turnover of the educational tablets and smart TVs. "There's nothing more powerful than the smile of a child filled with hope," he wrote on Instagram. "Seeing the kids light up as they received their tablets was a reminder of the endless possibilities that come with access to education and opportunity," he added. If there is one thing about Reluao, it's that when it comes to making a difference, it's not about the age; it's about your purpose. He may be the youngest Special Envoy in the Philippines, but his vision is far-reaching: a digitally empowered generation and a country that embraces innovation without leaving anyone behind. —MGP, GMA Integrated News

Indonesia says US trade deal reached after ‘extraordinary struggle'
A container truck is unloaded from a truck at Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta, Indonesia, July 8, 2025. REUTERS/ Ajeng Dinar Ulfiana JAKARTA — Indonesia said on Wednesday it had reached a trade deal with the United States after an "extraordinary struggle" in negotiations which resulted in a reduction of proposed US tariff rates on the Southeast Asian country's exports to 19% from 32%. US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday a deal had been struck after he spoke to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. The deal is among only a handful reached so far by the Trump administration ahead of an August 1 deadline for negotiations. "This is an extraordinary struggle by our negotiating team led by the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs," Hasan Nasbi, the Indonesian president's spokesperson, told reporters on Wednesday. Nasbi said Prabowo had also negotiated directly with Trump over the phone, without giving further details. He said Prabowo would hold a press conference later on Wednesday after returning from a foreign trip. Prabowo later said that his government understood the interests of the United States in trade talks, and that the two countries will continue to negotiate even after reaching the deal: "We've given our offer, we cannot give more." Indonesia—the world's fourth-largest country by population and a member of G20—ran a goods trade surplus of $17.9 billion with the United States in 2024, according to the US Trade Representative. Nasbi called the deal a "meeting point" between the two governments, and said Indonesia's tariff rate was much lower than other countries in Southeast Asia. Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, has committed to purchasing 50 Boeing jets, $15 billion in US energy, and $4.5 billion in US agricultural products as part of its trade agreement with the United States, Trump said. Trump outlined an Indonesia deal similar to a preliminary pact struck recently with Vietnam, with no levies on US exports to Indonesia. It also included a penalty rate for so-called transshipments of goods from China via Indonesia. The Jakarta stock index rose as much as 0.8% on Wednesday after the deal, which Indonesia's central bank said would provide a positive catalyst for economic activities. The JKSE is up 10% since early April. Bank Indonesia, which cut rates on Wednesday, said the deal will have a positive impact on the archipelago's exports and economic growth, and provide certainty to financial markets. "Well, 19% is better than 32%," Matt Simpson, a senior market analyst at City Index in Brisbane, said. "Indonesian non-oil exports such as footwear and textiles will take a hit, but energy and agriculture are set to gain. Officials are of course pleased because they're in Trump's good books," he added. Natixis warned the Indonesian economy would still be affected by Trump's tariffs on China—Indonesia's biggest trade partner. Myrdal Gunarto, an economist with Maybank Indonesia, described the deal as relatively good, as Jakarta is getting a tariff below those imposed on other Southeast Asian neighbors. "[The deal] opens more space for domestic lower monetary policy rate," he said, predicting it would also trigger capital inflows. A bare majority of analysts in a Reuters poll expected Indonesia's central bank to cut interest rates later on Wednesday to bolster economic growth. — Reuters
