00:00Mr. President, kung magtuloy-tuloy po ang pagtaas ng presyo ng krudo sa world market
00:04dahil sa tension sa Middle East,
00:07ano po ang contingency plan ng gobyerno sakaling magpatuloy ang pagtaas ng presyo ng krudo sa world market?
00:14Nabanggit nyo rin po kanina na magbibigay din po kayo ng subsidy sa fuel assistance sa mga sektor ng transport
00:21and agriculture.
00:23So sa harap po nito, Mr. President, sa posibleng sustained oil price shocks,
00:27paano po babalansihin ang inyong administrasyon ang energy security, price stabilization, at fiscal sustainability?
00:35Well, I explained a little bit kanina na ipaliwanag ko na ng kakante,
00:41yung aming mga intervention kung tawagin,
00:45kapag ito ay ang presyo ng langis ay lumampas na sa $80 per barrel.
00:52So, yun na nga yung sinasabi ko, magpuprovide tayo ng subsidy para sa ating mga sektor,
01:01sa sektor ng ekonomiya, na talagang maapektuhan, na mabigat.
01:08At yun ang nabanggit ko ay number one, of course, the transport sector,
01:13at saka ang ating lahat ng gumagamit ng langis.
01:21And that is, of course, that goes to everybody.
01:25But depending, again, on the price increases or decreases and the adjustments that will happen
01:31and how long those prices will be sustained or will last.
01:36Depende yan kung matagal, kung masyadong matagal, iba yung gagawin natin.
01:40And we are already looking into adjusting, hopefully, the excise tax on fuel,
01:49on the other elements na financially magagawa natin to lower the prices of other goods.
01:59But even in the worst case scenario,
02:04I think that we will be able to provide at least some support to those critical sectors.
02:13And I hope that this is something that we will not have to do.
02:21We are still hoping and we are still praying that this doesn't last too long.
02:29And I hope and pray that our people will remain safe
02:33and that we will be able to weather this very difficult storm that is become global in scope.
02:44Kaya't marami tayong hinahanda kung ang ating panalangin ay hindi mapabigyan
02:57at talagang patuloy pa rin ang labanan, marami naman tayong mga interventions.
03:03Or the other thing that I missed is that we have given instruction
03:06and to all government offices to find ways to save on energy.
03:17That applies, ito, panawagan ko na rin ito sa taong bayan.
03:21Maghanap tayo ng paraan upang mabawasan ang ating paggamit
03:27ng lahat ng mga sources of energy natin.
03:30Ito ay hindi pa, kagaya nagsabi ko, sapat naman ang supply natin.
03:36Ngunit, baka sakali, ito ay mga kakailanganin natin gawin ito
03:42upang mabawasan nga ang pagbayad dahil tataas nga ang presyo.
03:46At hindi lamang sana sa government offices,
03:49but we will issue, we have issued a directive to all the government offices
03:53to find ways to save energy in every ways.
04:02Yung mga unnecessary travel, yung mga carpooling,
04:06yung mga bagay-bagay na ganyan.
04:08And these are things that the general public can do.
04:14We encourage the use of public transport, you know, private vehicles.
04:19Punuin naman ninyo yung sasakyan ninyo.
04:21Huwag yung isang tao lang ang kumagamit.
04:24All of these things can come together.
04:26We will give further guidance in terms of that.
04:30We will give further guidance.
04:32We will make public service announcements
04:33to make suggestions to people
04:36kung ano yung pwede pa nilang gawin
04:38para mabawasan ang kanilang paggamit ng energy.
04:43So that is the situation as we have it right now.
04:51We will give further questions as I have an understanding.
04:51So thank you.
04:51But thank you.
04:52So thank you.
