00:00Malinaw ang salitang ginamit natin, energy emergency.
00:04Hindi ito emergency ng pangkalahatan.
00:07It is a very specific and a very precise emergency.
00:12It is an emergency of the energy sector, the supply of energy, and the prices of energy.
00:18Dahil ang pinagmulan ng problema ay ang supply at ang presyo ng enerhya
00:25At yun ang kailangan naming tugunan ng direkta agad.
00:32That is why we declared not a general state of emergency but a state of energy emergency.
00:41I'd like to stress that point.
00:43That it is the energy sector that we need to declare as an emergency sector
00:50because of the war in the Middle East.
00:55I want to assure everyone that this does not mean that we should panic.
01:05It means that we are doing everything that we can to assess and to alleviate the situation.
01:13It is a precautionary tool so that we are ready for whatever comes next.
01:20Because lahat ng kaya natin, all the options that have been available to us, we are now exercising.
01:26In terms of the subsidies, fuel subsidies, cuts in fees, in our ports, cuts in charges.
01:37And again, the continued workings of our government to talk to other governments and to talk to even the private
01:48sector.
01:49The private sector partners have a lot to play, have a big role to play in all of this.
01:55We have done all of those things that have all those options that have been available to us.
02:00The reason that I declared an energy emergency is to provide government with more options should the need arise.
02:10The reason that I have been able to enjoy a lot of energy my workings of theaker is to provide
02:10people to lesage the terms.
02:12Because of the Colin and the President of the United States, the President of the United States,
02:16the President of the United States are a part of the service system that has helped those connections.
