Nagdeklara si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ng 'state of national energy emergency' noong Martes, Marso 24, dahil sa epekto ng digmaan sa gitna ng US-Israel laban sa Iran sa supply ng langis sa Pilipinas. Sa pamamagitan ng Executive Order No. 110, ipinatupad din niya ang UPLIFT upang mapagaan ang epekto sa ekonomiya at mga mamamayan. Nananatili ito ng isang taon maliban kung baguhin niya.

Noong Martes, Marso 24, nagdeklara si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ng 'state of national energy emergency' sa pamamagitan ng Executive Order No. 110, batay sa Republic Act No. 7638. Ayon kay Energy Secretary Sharon Garin, nagdudulot ng 'imminent danger of critically low energy supply' ang digmaan ng US at Israel laban sa Iran na nagsimula noong Pebrero 28, na nagresulta sa halos pagsara ng Strait of Hormuz—daan ng karamihan ng langis mula Middle East papuntang Pilipinas. Bilang net importer ng petroleum, tumaas na ang presyo ng gasolina at inaasahan ang pagtaas ng mga bilihin. Pinaunlakan nito ang pagpapatupad ng UPLIFT, isang 'whole-of-government' na pakete para sa livelihoods, industry, food, at transport, na pinamumunuan mismo ng pangulo kasama ang mga kalihim ng energy, transport, social welfare, agriculture, finance, budget, at DepDev (dating NEDA). Kasama sa mga hakbang: fuel subsidies, commuter fare subsidies, Libreng Sakay, priority lanes, pagbabawas ng tolls, tulong sa AICS, suporta sa magsasaka at mangingisda, at pagbabantay sa presyo. Mga senador tulad nina Bam Aquino at Loren Legarda ay nagmumungkahi ng pagbababa o pag-suspend ng 12% VAT sa fuel, bagamat binalaan ni DepDev Secretary Arsenio Balisacan ng posibleng pagbagsak ng GDP sa 3.5-4% kung $200 per barrel ng anim na buwan. Sinabi rin ni Marcos na ipagtatanggol nila ang piso hangga't maaari laban sa pagbagsak nito.
