Dr. Bautista led the YES-O club to provide efforts in
implementing Energy, Water and Power Supply Conservation
since February 10, 2012 up to the present times. It gives school
children the opportunity to see energy generation and learn the
importance of water and energy conservation.

Huge campaigns are conducted in school to spread
awareness of the importance of water conservation. One of their
projects is posting the signage in all the outlets, switches, and
faucets in every classroom of the school. This promotes energy
and water conservation. The YES-O club ensure that the school
community uses energy, water and power supply efficiently.

She inculcated the value to her YES-O members that
“Change begins with us, and if we lead by example, others are
more likely to follow. Let’s conserve energy, water and power
supply to save our environment”.
