Televiewers woke up to a good morning today with Daniel Dingel featured for a short segment on Alternative Energy on ABS-CBN's tele-magazine program Umagang Kay Ganda (roughly translated as "A Beautiful Morning).

Dingel was interviewed alongside proponents of other alternative fuels: the Makati City Police's patrol car running on recycled vegetable oil, tricycles running on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and two vehicles running on batteries alone - a tricycle and a car.

Earlier this evening, Filipino inventor Daniel Dingel guested at the government-owned National Broadcasting Network (NBN)'s public affairs show Balitalakay (News Discussion).

Dingel sat alongside fellow Filipinos who presented their own versions of "Alternative Fuels & Measures". Interestingly, Dingel was quoted towards the end of the program as saying "kung ayaw mag-resign, tulungan na lang natin (if s/he doesn't want to resign, then let's just help him/her)" when he was asked what it would take for him to bring out his invention.
