Magtataas ng doble na digit ang presyo ng langis sa March 10

Sinabi ng Department of Energy na magpapanatili ng mas mataas na presyo ng gasolina ang mga lokal na oil retailers sa pamamagitan ng pagtaas na P17 hanggang P24 bawat litro. Ito ay dahil sa lumalanggeng na tensyon sa Middle East, kabilang ang pag-atake ng US at Israel sa Iran. Inihayag din na hihingi ng emergency powers si Pangulong Marcos upang bawasan ang excise tax sa petrolyo.

MANILA, Philippines — Inihayag ng Department of Energy (DOE) noong Lunes na magpapanatili ng mas mataas na presyo ng gasolina ang mga lokal na oil companies, na may pagtaas na nagkakahalaga ng P17.00 hanggang P24.00 bawat litro. Ayon kay DOE Secretary Sharon Garin sa isang press conference, isasagawa ang mga pagtaas na ito nang paunti-unti sa loob ng linggong ito.

Kasama sa mga pagtaas ay: Shell, P24.50 bawat litro; Petron, P19.20 bawat litro; Total, P20.20 bawat litro; Chevron, P17.50 bawat litro; Jetty, P19.00 bawat litro; at Seaoil, P21 hanggang P23 bawat litro. Ipinaliwanag ni Garin na walang kapangyarihan ang DOE na regulahin ang mga pagtaas na ito dahil sa Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act.

Samantala, hihingi ng emergency powers si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. mula sa Kongreso upang mabawasan ang excise tax sa mga produktong petrolyo, ayon sa Palace. Sinabi ni Palace Press Officer Claire Castro sa isang pahayag noong March 8 na gagawin ito ng DOE sa ngalan ng pangulo sa March 9. “Hiniling ng pangulo na magkaisa tayo, anuman ang mangyari sa Middle East. Dapat tayong magkaisa at magtulungan,” sabi ni Castro sa Filipino.

Ayon naman kay Senate President Tito Sotto, tatalakayin ang isyung ito sa sesyon ngayong araw, kasabay ng isang panukalang batas na nagpapahintulot sa pag-import ng biofuel. Upang labanan ang posibleng kakulangan sa gasolina, naglabas na ang gobyerno ng mga hakbang tulad ng four-day work week upang mabawasan ang paggamit ng gasolina.

Ang kinatatakutang krisis sa enerhiya ay nagmumula sa lumalala na tensyon sa Middle East, kung saan inatake ng Estados Unidos at Israel ang Iran, na nagpaulan naman ng paghihiganti sa mga bansa sa Gulf.
