Gatchalian urges talks with Iran over fuel supplyMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian yesterday urged the executive department to have high-level talks with Iran for the safe passage of Philippines-bound oil vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. “We cannot afford delays or disruptions that will only further burden Filipino consumers already weighed down by rising costs,” Gatchalian added. Like what me and Sen. (Kiko) Pangilinan said, (it should be) minister to minister or head of state to head of state,” Gatchalian said. “We are already coming up with a committee report because there is a sense of urgency here,” Gatchalian said. I have no computations of my own, but in my estimate, that’s possible,” Gatchalian admitted.
