Earth Day marked the start of installation of solar-powered lamps in several of Metro Manila's pedestrian pathways, beginning with a footbridge along Quezon Avenue in Quezon City.

The lights, while power-saving, will also help make the pedestrian footbridges and other areas in the metropolis safer.
The TESDA-MMDA Light the City 2014 Project was the agencies' contribution to the celebration of Earth Day. Under the Memorandum of Agreement, both agencies pledged to provide solar-powered pedestrian lights on footbridges or other areas to 17 communities in the 17 cities in Metro Manila.
"With the help of MMDA, this is TESDA's contribution to the environment on Earth Day… When the sun goes down, the solar-powered lamps will give off a full spectrum of light to the pedestrian bridges and to the street below. It will likewise brighten other areas in the communities…"
