Umabot sa 425 ang gasolinahan na pansamantalang sarado sa buong Pilipinas noong Marso 27 dahil sa krisis sa gasolina na dulot ng digmaan sa Iran, ayon sa Philippine National Police. Pinakamataas ang bilang sa Cordillera Administrative Region na may 79, habang nagdeklara ng national energy emergency si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Noong Marso 27, nagsara pansamantalang 425 sa 14,485 gasolinahan sa Pilipinas dahil sa kakulangan sa suplay ng gasolina, na nagdudulot ng 2.93% na porsyento ng mga sarado, sabi ng PNP. Pinakamataas sa Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) na may 79: Kalinga 26, Benguet 18, Mountain Province 15, Ifugao 12, Abra 6, at Baguio City 2. Sumunod ang Central Luzon na 46 at Eastern Visayas na 44. Sa porsyento, CAR ang pinakaapektado sa 14.4%.

Nagdeklara si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ng Executive Order No. 110 noong Marso 24 na nagdedeklara ng national energy emergency dahil sa digmaan ng US-Israel laban sa Iran. Pinirmahan din niya ang Republic Act No. 12316 na nagbibigay ng emergency powers upang magsuspinde ng fuel excise tax.

Sa Baguio, may mga limitasyon sa pagbili ng 20 litro bawat transaksyon, na nagdudulot ng mahabang pila sa jeepney. Ayon kay Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong, inuuna ang mga esensyal na sektor tulad ng ospital at public utility vehicles. Nagbabala siya na maaaring tumagal ng linggo ang krisis.

Jeepney driver Jun Gomez mula La Trinidad, Benguet, ay nagsabi, “Kung 20 liters lang, pipili ka kung ilang pasada. Hindi mo na mababawi lahat.”

Sa kabilang banda, bumaba ang presyo ng gulay sa Benguet: snap beans mula P80-85/kilo noong Marso 20 hanggang P20-25 noong 27. Gayunpaman, ang magsasaka mula Atok ay nagsabi, “Bumababa presyo, pero gasolina pataas. Kailangan pa rin naming magbenta kahit maliit kita.”

Nagmo-monitor ang PNP ng LPG retailers laban sa hoarding, sabi ni PNP chief Police General Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr.
