一项新的分析显示，受食品和交通成本上涨影响，石油危机可能导致菲律宾超过39.6万户低收入家庭跌破贫困线。
国会政策与预算研究部发布了不同冲击情景下的预测数据。在最坏的情况下，将有396,067户家庭陷入贫困。在第二种情景下，较轻微的冲击将影响293,152户家庭，而在第一种情景下则为185,654户。
该智库呼吁马科斯政府将现金援助范围扩大到官方贫困家庭之外。报告指出，仅向现有贫困人口提供救济会让新受影响的家庭失去保障，扩大覆盖范围不仅更有效，而且在财政上也更具效率。
目前燃料供应依然充足。截至5月8日，全国库存量维持在50.70天的供应水平，符合能源部的目标。能源部副部长莎伦·加林（Sharon Garin）敦促民众继续节约能源。报告发布当日柴油价格下调，预计每升至少降价9.57比索，这使得马尼拉大都会及其他城市的柴油价格低于汽油价格。
