@News5PH Uhmmm, may nagtanong na mga reporter po ba kung para san ang mga bawat transakyon kahit net zero balance ang gusto ng kampo ng VP palabasin? Hard hitting questions naman dyan media.

'IT'S FAKE AND A BLATANT LIE' Muling dinepensahan ng legal counsel ni Atty. Mans Carpio, asawa ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, ang alegasyong may P6.7 bilyong transaksyon sa bank account ng mag-asawa. Ayon kay Atty. Peter Paul Danao, tinawag umano ni Atty. Carpio na “fake and blatant lie” ang impormasyong ipinakita ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) sa impeachment hearing ng House Justice Committee noong April 22. “Half truth” lang daw ito dahil hindi nila sinabi kung paano nila nakwenta ang malaking halaga ng nga transaksyon. |  via Camille Samonte

So mali ang unang nailabas na datos ng DOE o biglang may delivery in the last 48 to 72 hours? Para maging more than 90 days ang oil supply, may dumagdag na delivery na at least 22.5Mn barrels. This is good news if true but at least we have to vet this. @DOEgovph @WinGatchalian74

@MattWallace888 and will you also physically take care of her for the rest of her life?

I am unironically considering flying to Spain and physically stopping them from euthanizing Noelia Castillo Ramos in less than 24 hours

@TransportGuy We should push again for this. But is its legality just the chairman's opinion or LTFRB's official position? Better to have a memo or circular to protect the legit carpoolers that when money changes hands but done privately for cost-sharing is not subject to colorum practice.

This oil crisis, sorry, I mean price disruption, needs multiple solutions to get through. There’s no one single fix to it all, so we need to start seriously considering every option, like carpooling at scale, as a genuine alternative to taking your own car every day. The proof of concept already exists. We used to have Wunder. It was more than just a carpooling app, it was a community that actually helped ease congestion and save gas. Then the LTFRB killed it because it looked too much like a transport service. It wasn’t. It was neighbors helping neighbors get to work. Waze even piloted a program and was considering bringing it here. Then the pandemic hit, and it quietly disappeared. Both gone. Never replaced. Yes, options still exist. Grab has GrabShare. inDrive lets you negotiate fares. UTOL promotes cost-splitting between commuters. They all do something, and they do it well. But they’re still businesses. There’s a margin built in, a company in the middle, and a commercial incentive that shapes every decision they make. That’s not a criticism. It’s just not the same thing. What we’re talking about is something more organic, non-profit at its core, and honestly more sustainable because of it. The two can absolutely coexist. Because here’s the thing. Carpooling at its core shouldn’t be a business. It’s a behavior. A shared cost between two or more people going the same direction deciding not to take two cars. Every morning, thousands of cars leave the same villages, pass the same toll plazas, sit in the same traffic, heading to the same business districts. One driver. Four or more empty seats. Multiplied by thousands. Every single day. That’s not a traffic problem, it’s a coordination problem. And coordination problems have never been easier to solve. I know because I built one yesterday. No coding background. No developer on call. Ten minutes. Ive posted the screenshots so you can see exactly how simple it is. Any developer, any IT student, any startup founder with a free weekend can do the same for their village or subdivision. No venture capital. No complicated tech. Just a matching system that connects drivers and passengers already going the same way. Now here’s the part people always ask about. The legality. I’ve actually interviewed the LTFRB chairman on this before, and his answer was clear. If no money is being directly charged through the platform, they have no jurisdiction and no intention of stepping in. The moment it starts looking like a fare-based service, it enters their crosshairs. So keep the app clean. What neighbors choose to sort out between themselves, privately, is between them. Now, someone’s already typing “but it’s dangerous, you’re letting a stranger into your car.” Fair point. But nobody bats an eye when people connect on Tinder, match on Bumble, and meet complete strangers for dinner. At night. Alone. Because the app gave them a profile and a photo and that felt like enough. A carpooling app for your village gives you the same thing, but with proper verification, plus you probably already know the person’s car, their route, and three of their neighbors. The benefits go beyond fuel. Fewer cars means faster travel for everyone. Less wear on your vehicle. Less parking stress. And less mental load, because sitting in traffic alone is exhausting in a way that sitting in traffic with company just isn’t. Use the seats you already have. One car. One trip. Four people. That math works at any oil price. PS: this app is not live. I just did it through Claude as a demo to inspire anyone that wants to do this in their community.

@inquirerdotnet No other details?!

DENR warns of ‘water bankruptcy,’ to tap filtration, desalination s.inqnews.net/b2lPVhk

@inquirerdotnet At Php 60:USD1 exchange rate and USD365/barrel global diesel price, the Php20Bn can only purchase 965k barrels of diesel. This can meet the average daily demand for diesel for 5 days but lead time for delivery is 15 to 30 days if order is placed today.

Gov’t allots P20B to buy 2 million barrels of diesel s.inqnews.net/ZKwf0tG

@gmanews Sa ibang news report, 1mn barrels. Kung 1mn litro, katumbas lang yan ng 10% ng average daily consumption ng petrolyo. Kung 1mn barrels, 2 days worth lang yan. So net effect, less than 40 days na lang ang stock by the end of the week!

Sa gitna ng pangambang kapusin ng suplay ng langis, inilahad ng Energy Department na may parating pang isang milyong litrong petrolyo ngayong linggo. Hanggang kelan ito aabot?

My go-to kanto silog has just increased its selling price from Php50 to Php60! Inflation by 20%! Mabilisan ang pagtaas na naayon sa pagtaas ng mga binibiling sangkap nila. Samantala ang pisong hinihingi ng mga PUJs napurnada pa. Saklap! #phcrisiswatch @LTFRB @DtiPhilippines

@gmanews btw, yung 1Mn liters ng petrolyo na parating ay katumbas lamang ng 6,300 barrels which is only 1% of our daily oil consumption. so it won't make a dent. so by the end of this week, we will be down to 38 to 40 days supply stock/

HANGGANG KAILAN AABOT ANG OIL SUPPLY NG PH? PANOORIN: Ayon kay Department of Energy (DOE) Sec. Sharon Garin, tiniyak ng mga bansang nagsusuplay ng langis sa Pilipinas na mananatiling tuloy-tuloy at sapat ang kanilang ibibigay na suplay. "We have been assured [by] these countries on the consistency of their supply," ayon kay Sec. Garin. Inilahad rin ng DOE sa gitna ng pangambang kapusin ng suplay ng langis na may parating pang isang milyong litrong petrolyo ngayong linggo. | via @Joseph_Morong PANOORIN ANG KAUGNAY NA ULAT: youtu.be/v0r2sWPp4BE?si…

@gmanews 30-day average supply stock. but since we are in critical times, deep concern nga kung may mga parating na stock at may mapagkukunan pa. so continuous monitoring sa stock level.

@gmanews oo kung lahat ng oil supply contract from the GCC ay nakansel at kung wala pang nagawang bagong purchase contract from non-GCC suppliers. best to ask kung anong volume ng oil ang in-transit na at kung kelan ito darating? the 45-day current inventory is still above the mandated++

@DOEgovph @gmanews wala tayong strategic reserves, di po ba? so itong datos na to ay tumutukoy sa inventory na hawak na ng mga oil companies. pwede malaman kung ilang milyong barrels ito o kung ano ang daily consumption per fuel type?

@gmanews @gmanews may info kayo kung ilang milyong barrels equivalent itong inventory o kung ano ang average daily consumption per fuel type? at may nabanggit ba ang @DOEgovph kung kelan ang dating ng next shipment? at lahat ba itong inventory ay privately-held?

KAYA PA BA, PILIPINAS? Ayon sa datos ng Department of Energy, nasa 45 araw ang itatagal ng reserbang langis ng Pilipinas. Sapat nga ba ang supply na ito para punan ang pangangailangan ng mga Pilipino? Kaugnay na ulat: gmanetwork.com/news/money/eco…

Kung ganitong bayanihan, pwede po ba sa upper deck kami at lahat ng public officials nasa lower deck?

@ABSCBNNews Di ba maraming gas stations ang binigyan ng show cause order noong unang linggo ng Marso dahil nagtaas ng presyo prematurely? Dismissed na lahat yun kaya isa na lang ang natira sa tally ng complaints?

More than 400 gasoline stations across the country have temporarily shut down amid the ongoing oil crisis, according to the Philippine National Police. PNP spokesperson PBGen. Randulf Tuaño said, this figure is part of the 14,313 gasoline stations nationwide currently being monitored by authorities. The monitoring is being carried out in coordination with the Department of Energy to prevent incidents of hoarding and profiteering. | via @_KarenDeGuzman
