MANILA, Philippines — The country's reserve fuel supply is expected to last up to 50 days or until the end of May, the Department of Energy (DOE) said on Tuesday.
The DOE said that as of April 3, gasoline is estimated to last for 58 days; diesel, 47 days; kerosene 106 days; jet fuel at 66 days; fuel oil at about 52 days; and LPG at 33 days.
The DOE also clarified that it was continuing to procure more supply and was expecting more fuel to come in the following weeks and months.
"Even if our supply currently looks like this, we are continuing to procure more fuel from other sources as we try to secure more fuel for the people. We are also not the only ones doing this as the private sector is also doing this as well," Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said.
