The Malampaya deepwater gas to power project will bring out natural gas from Palawan for power generation within a period of 20 years and is the first major natural gas development in the Philippines. Mindoro is part of 504 km route from Palawan to Batangas, to be taken by the natural gas pipeline. The pipeline will traverse the northern waters of Palawan, moving to the eastern side of Mindoro before heading for Tagbangao, Batangas. The project is estimated to provide enough gas to generate 30% of the country\'s electricity until 2022. Phase 2 of the project will add a platform and an additional 16-inch flowline from the subsea manifold to the processing platform.
