The entire energy family is working 24/7 to make sure that energy services remain unimpeded,” Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said. The DoE is closely coordinating with all its stakeholders to ensure the unhindered entry of fuel supply to affected retail outlets. “Importation and domestic transportation of fuel such as diesel, fuel oil, natural gas, coal, and lubricants shall be allowed and remain unrestricted,” he said in his memo released on Saturday.
