Binatikos ni Imee Marcos ang pagka-late ng limitasyon sa presyo ng gasolina

Binatikos ni Sen. Imee Marcos ang administrasyon ng kanyang kapatid dahil sa pagka-late sa pagpapatupad ng limitasyon sa presyo ng gasolina habang bumababa na ang global oil prices. Ayon sa kanya, tila bagong natutunan lamang ng Department of Energy ang kapangyarihan nito sa ilalim ng batas. Samantala, sinuportahan ni Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson ang hakbang ng DOE.

Sa Manila, nagpahayag ng pagkondena si Sen. Imee Marcos laban sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Marcos dahil sa pagka-late sa pagpapatupad ng mandatory fuel price adjustment. Ayon sa kanya, nalulungkot siya sa hakbang na ito habang bumababa na ang presyo ng langis sa mundo dahil sa pagpapakalma ng tensyon sa Middle East. "Ang DOE ay tila kakatutong natutunan ang kapangyarihan nito sa ilalim ng batas kamakailan," aniya. Dapat daw ginamit na ng administrasyon ang kapangyarihan nito noong ideklara ang state of national energy emergency.

Samantala, sinuportahan ni Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson ang anunsyo ni DOE Secretary Sharon Garin na susubaybayan ang pagsunod ng mga oil companies sa minimum at maximum presyo ng diesel at gasoline. Maaaring mawalan ng lisensya o maharap sa parusa at kulungan ang mga hindi sumusunod ayon sa Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998. "Dapat gamitin ng gobyerno ang kapangyarihan nito sa ilalim ng state of national energy emergency," sabi ni Lacson. Mas mabuti raw ang price adjustment kaysa hayaang magdictate ang oil firms ng presyo.

Dagdag pa rito, sinabi ni Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian na ang fuel pricing ay sumusunod sa Executive Order No. 110 ni Pangulong Marcos na nagdeklara ng state of national energy emergency. Itinutulak niya ang unbundling ng fuel prices upang hindi arbitrary ang anumang pagtaas. "Dapat ipaliwanag ng DOE kung paano kinakalkula ng oil companies ang price increases, lalo na't dependent sa imports ang bansa," aniya.
