KMJS Special Report- Energy crisis in the Philippines | Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho

Описание: Aired (March 29, 2026): Following the declaration of a national energy crisis, KMJS looks into the worsening plight of Filipino drivers, some fainting in long aid lines, others forced to stop working as fuel prices continue to surge.

Nearly a month into the conflict in the Middle East involving the United States and Israel against Iran, global oil supply has been severely affected. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for around 20% of the world’s oil supply, has disrupted shipments, including those bound for the Philippines.

As supply tightens, fuel prices in many countries have more than doubled. On March 24, the Philippines officially declared a National State of Energy Emergency.

In an interview with Atty. Noel Baga, co-convenor of the Center for Energy Research and Policy, the deeper roots of the crisis are examined — from dependence on imported oil to the lack of long-term energy planning.
