Recto: Komite sa krisis ng langis magpapatibay ng mga hakbang ng gobyerno

Sinabi ni Executive Secretary Ralph Recto na ang komite sa krisis ng langis na inutusan ng Pangulong Marcos ay magpapatibay at magpapalakas ng mga hakbang upang maprotektahan ang mga sektor na apektado ng krisis sa Gitnang Silangan. Ayon kay Recto, ito ay hindi bago kundi pagpapatuloy ng mga mitigation measures. Nagpahayag din ng pagkayabang ang mga senador na kinikilala ang oil crisis.

MANILA, Philippines — Inihayag ni Executive Secretary Ralph Recto na ang interagency crisis committee na ipapataw sa pamamagitan ng presidential order ay magbibigay ng malinaw na division of labor sa mga ahensya upang mas epektibong harapin ang epekto ng krisis sa Gitnang Silangan, kabilang ang mataas na presyo ng langis dahil sa mga sirang pasilidad. Ayon kay Recto, 'Even if the war will end tomorrow... normalization will not instantaneously follow. The damage has to be repaired,' at ang pamahalaan ay nagbibigay ng 'tens of billions of pesos' para sa tulong sa mga mahihirap na grupo. Inihayag ito ni Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro noong Lunes bilang 'being finalized.' Sa Senate hearing, hinikayat ni Sen. Loren Legarda ang administrasyon na kinikilala ang 'oil crisis' dahil 'If we do not admit that there’s a crisis... the agencies will not act with urgency.' Pinuna rin niya ang pagkawala ni DOE Secretary Sharon Garin, na dumating lamang mamaya, at ang pagturo ng DOE sa legislative break para sa delayed funding ng PNOC. Nagpahayag din ng pagkondena ang Bayan president Renato Reyes at ACT chairperson Ruby Bernardo laban sa pagtanggi ng Malacañang sa crisis label. — Neil Jayson Servallos, Emmanuel Tupas, Bella Cariaso
