参议院委员会举行中东危机听证会

参议院中东危机应对特别委员会主席谢尔温·加查利安(Sherwin Gatchalian)宣布,该委员会将于周二举行首次听证会。这个名为“及时有效的危机战略主动应对与监督委员会”(PROTECT)的机构,旨在审查2026年《一般拨款法案》中的资金,以应对美以袭击伊朗引发的危机。目前燃料价格飙升,威胁到粮食安全。

参议院“及时有效的危机战略主动应对与监督委员会”(简称PROTECT委员会)主席谢尔温·加查利安在接受dzMM采访时宣布,新成立的参议院中东危机应对特别委员会将于周二举行首次听证会。此次会议旨在与国家各机构核实,2026年《一般拨款法案》是否有足够的资金来减轻已持续22天的、由美以袭击伊朗引发的危机所带来的影响。加查利安表示,燃料价格飞涨正在影响公共交通司机和普通驾驶员,而霍尔木兹海峡的关闭因石油、天然气和化肥运输中断,也威胁到了粮食安全。尽管正值圣周假期,但紧迫感促使听证会提前举行,各机构被要求提交具体计划,包括应对最坏情况的预案。加查利安呼吁政府厉行节约,例如通过在线培训和减少公务差旅,若能削减差旅、培训和差旅招待费,预计可节省高达900亿比索。他提到了现有的援助措施,如为司机、农民和渔民提供的燃料补贴、暂停票价上涨,以及MRT-3和LRT-2的乘车优惠。总统可以通过近期的立法措施暂停或降低燃料消费税。加查利安已提交一份修订《石油监管法》的法案,旨在加强政府的价格监督,并希望石油公司能凭良心行事,杜绝囤积居奇。马尼拉众议员罗兰多·瓦莱里亚诺(Rolando Valeriano)建议马哈利卡投资公司(Maharlika Investment Corp.)与菲律宾国家石油公司(PNOC)及亚洲码头公司(Asian Terminals Inc.)合作建立燃料储备,并指出MIC近期已入股ATI。众议员乔尔·蔡(Joel Chua)敦促石油公司对危机前的库存给予退税。方济各会修士利诺·格雷戈里奥·雷多布拉多(Lino Gregorio Redoblado)批评称,要求民众勒紧裤腰带对穷人不公平,并敦促政府承担责任。

由 AI 报道 AI 生成的图像

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declared a 'state of national energy emergency' on Tuesday, March 24, due to the impact of the US-Israel war against Iran on the Philippines' oil supply. Through Executive Order No. 110, he also adopted UPLIFT to mitigate effects on the economy and citizens. It remains in place for one year unless altered by Marcos.

Executive Secretary Ralph Recto said the oil crisis committee ordered by President Marcos 'does not start, but sustains and strengthens' mitigation measures to protect sectors affected by the Middle East crisis. Recto emphasized it builds on existing efforts amid elevated fuel prices. Senators urged the government to officially acknowledge the oil crisis.

The Senate's probe into the government's response to the Middle East crisis is targeting oil companies for potential profiteering as fuel prices rise sharply. Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian voiced concerns over firms selling old fuel stocks at elevated prices. Sen. Bam Aquino called for a price freeze on essential goods.

Energy Secretary Sharon Garin warned of a possible fuel price increase starting April 20, following a rollback announced by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. effective April 14. She attributed this to uncertainties involving US President Donald Trump and Middle East conflicts. Garin shared this during a Senate PROTECT committee hearing on April 13.

No announcements from the government or schools exist regarding class suspensions from March 9 to 13 due to a potential oil price hike from Middle East tensions. This claim spread on social media but has been debunked as false news. Meanwhile, the Senate filed a bill for a national petroleum reserve to counter fuel supply crisis effects.
