Mahigit 700,000 bariles ng krudo mula sa Russia, dumating na sa bansa

TRIBUNE-09-30-24-gas-station — LOOK: Petron gas station attendants in Quezon City are busy refilling customers' gas tanks amid another round of impending petroleum product price hikes. Based on the forecast, pump prices for gasoline will increase from P0.30 to P0.60 per liter; diesel, from P0.65 to P0.90 per liter; and kerosene, from P0.40 to P0.50 per liter. According to the Department of Energy's Oil Industry Management Bureau, geopolitical factors, particularly the war between Israel and Lebanon, have caused supply uncertainty, raising concerns that the war could spread to other neighboring countries.

Nasa mahigit 700,000 bariles ng krudo mula sa Russia ang dumating na sa Pilipinas. Kinumpirma ito ni Palace Press Officer Claire Castro kasunod ng deklarasyon ng state of national energy emergency sa bansa dulot ng sigalot sa Middle East.

Dumaong ang nasabing shipment sa Petro Bataan Refinery sa Limay sakay ng barkong Sara Sky, isang carrier na may bandilang Sierra Leone.

Ayon sa ulat, nagmula ang krudo sa Russia at ang Petron Corporation ang tumanggap ng nasabing produkto.
