MANILA — The Department of Energy (DOE) has brought in the country’s first shipment of imported diesel under the Emergency Energy Security Program, delivering about 22.5 million liters or 142,000 barrels to reinforce the national fuel supply as the Philippines confronts a state of energy emergency.The DOE said the shipment is part of the Marcos administration’s directive to stabilize reserves and shield transport, industry, and other vital sectors from the impact of global oil market volatility.Implemented in coordination with the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) and PNOC Exploration Corporation (PNOC EC), the program aims to secure up to two million barrels of additional oil for the country.Energy Secretary Sharon S. Garin underscored the urgency of the measure: “Patuloy ang pagtutok ng DOE upang madagdagan ang suplay ng langis sa bansa. Ang mabilis na pagdating ng diesel na ito ay bahagi ng mga hakbang para hindi maantala ang biyahe, hanapbuhay, at pang-araw-araw na buhay ng bawat Pilipino.”The DOE emphasized that the initiative is aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s Executive Order No. 110, which directs agencies to safeguard the nation’s energy needs during periods of global uncertainty.
