🇵🇭 No Oil Reserves, No Plans, Just Political Drama
🇮🇷🔥🇮🇱 Iran and Israel are at war. The Middle East is on fire. Cities are in ruins. Civilians are dying. And the entire Region is on the brink of explosion.
One wrong move — and we could be facing World War III, even a nuclear nightmare.
Superpowers are mobilizing.
Countries are preparing for the worst.
🚨 But in the Philippines?
Our leaders are busy fighting each other.
Not for peace. Not for energy security.
But for power, pork, and political revenge.
Just weeks after the most expensive election in our history — bloated by hundreds of billions disguised as “Ayuda” but actually vote-buying — they impeached not the President as other countries do, but the Vice President, a mere spare tire.
💸 Why? The VP is a threat. They want to protect their budget insertions. To recover campaign gastos. To stay in power — at all costs.
📉 Meanwhile, here’s the crisis no one’s talking about:
🇵🇭 The Philippines imports 100% of its oil.
💢 90% comes from the Middle East.
⛽ We have NO strategic fuel reserve.
🛢️ The DOE requires oil companies to keep:
• 15 days of refined fuel
• 30 days of crude oil
But here’s the dirty truth:
❌ The oil players don’t follow the rules.
❌ The DOE doesn’t even know the actual stock levels.
✅ Most oil companies only keep 3 days of inventory due to high cost of storage.
🚢 Including the shipments in transit, maybe 6–7 days max.
After that?
We’re on our knees — at the mercy of war, oil giants, and global chaos.
💬 The Oil Deregulation Law gave all control to the oligarchs.
The government surrendered its power to protect us — in the name of “free market.”
But freedom for who?
📢 Other countries are building oil reserves.
We’re building political drama.
Other nations are preparing for disruption.
We’re preparing arrest warrants.
And we have a President who scratches his head in a crisis — then asks his underlings:
“Ano’ng gagawin natin?”
As an alternative, we can source our oil from other countries outside of the Middle East, like Russisa. But our friend, partner, and iron-clad ally does not allow that and sanctions us politically and economically if we do.
🔥 Damn. When fuel runs out and prices explode, don’t blame the Middle East.
Blame the incompetence, greed, and stupidity of our own leaders.
