Mayor Raisa Treñas reassured Ilonggos that fuel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies in Iloilo City remain “sufficient” and “stable” for the month of April, following a consultation with key stakeholders in the local energy sector.
The mayor emphasized that Iloilo City residents need not panic-buy or hoard, noting that the stakeholders confirmed the city’s inventory is adequate to meet household and business demands.
“Our energy partners assured us that supply is steady, and services will continue uninterrupted,” Treñas said.
The statement comes amid ongoing national energy concerns, including global fluctuations in fuel prices and supply disruptions due to tensions in the Middle East.
To address these challenges, the mayor highlighted that the city government is maintaining close coordination with suppliers and provincial authorities to safeguard consistent delivery of fuel and LPG to consumers.
Treñas also committed to monthly updates on supply and pricing, providing transparency and ensuring that residents are informed of the latest developments.
The mayor further underscored that proactive planning, monitoring, and coordination are essential to prevent sudden shortages or price spikes.
“Our priority is the welfare of every Ilonggo. By closely working with energy partners and continuously monitoring supply levels, the city government can respond immediately to any potential disruptions,” Treñas added.
This initiative aligns with the city’s broader approach to energy security and consumer protection, ensuring that Ilonggos continue their daily activities without disruption even amid global and national energy challenges.IMT
