Sabido ng DOE: Maaaring tumagal hanggang kalagitnaan ng Mayo ang suplay ng fuel

Maaaring tumagal hanggang pangalawang linggo ng Mayo ang suplay ng fuel sa Pilipinas kasama ang darating na isang milyong barrels, ayon sa Department of Energy. Sinabi ni Energy Secretary Sharon Garin na nasa 45 araw ang average na suplay noong Marso 20, na bumaba mula sa 55-57 araw noong simula ng digmaan sa Middle East.

MANILA, Philippines — Nagpahayag si Energy Secretary Sharon Garin na ang average na suplay ng fuel sa bansa ay 45 araw noong Marso 20, na nababanggit sa mga detalye: LPG 23 araw, jet fuel 38 araw, diesel 45 araw, gasoline 53 araw, fuel oil 61 araw, at kerosene 97 araw, batay sa pang-araw-araw na demand mula Abril hanggang Setyembre 2025. Ito ay bumaba mula sa 55-57 araw noong magsimula ang digmaan halos isang buwan na ang nakalipas, matapos ang pag-atake ng United States at Israel sa Iran, na nagresulta sa pag-block ng Iran sa Strait of Hormuz, daan ng isang limang ng langis sa mundo. “Kung tataas po ‘yan, iiksi po ‘yung number of days natin. Kung steady lang siya, 45 days ‘yan,” ani Garin sa press conference noong Martes, Marso 24, na tinutukoy ito bilang ‘manageable’ at hindi pa ‘alarming’ hangga’t hindi bumaba sa 15 araw. Binigyang-diin niya na nasa ‘comfortable level’ pa rin ang stocks. Nakontrata na ng Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) na estado-run ang 400,000 barrels mula sa isang bansa sa Southeast Asia, at finalizing ang 600,000 barrels pa mula sa labas ng rehiyon, para sa kabuuang 1 milyong barrels na nagkakahalaga ng P10 bilyon, na sapat para sa mga limang araw o isang linggo. Plano ring gumastos ng P20 bilyon ang PNOC para sa 2 milyong barrels na reserve. Pinapayagan ng DOE ang mga fuel companies na bumili mula sa PNOC kung mababa ang kanilang stocks. Nagkaroon na ng ‘successful dialogues’ ang gobyerno sa South Korea, India, Japan, at China, at nakikipagtulungan ang DOE at PNOC sa Department of Foreign Affairs at Department of Trade and Industry para sa diplomatic channels upang tiyakin ang suplay pagkatapos ng Mayo. Hiniling ni Garin ang fuel conservation sa publiko at pribadong sektor, at hindi profiteering sa mga petroleum businesses. Mga pagtaas ng presyo ngayong linggo: P8-P12 bawat litro para sa gasoline (P82.60-P102.50), P15-P18 para sa diesel (P107-P134), at P12-P22 para sa kerosene. Kung magkakaroon ng shortage, dapat magplano ng prioritization ng sectors, ayon kay Makati Business Club chairman Edgar Chua.
