Development of the geothermal fields at Tongonan (Leyte) and Okoy (Negros) is being carried out by the Ministry of Energy of the Philippines Government. A number of papers have been published previously on a variety of aspects of the work being done at Tongonan and Palinpinon. An update of progress at a time when both projects are well advanced and have commenced, or are about to commence, commercial operation is presented. The setting within which the projects are being developed is first described, and this is followed by a brief discussion of issues of interest which have arisen as development has progressed.
