"Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Chair. Thank you very much. I mentioned that the Director of the Oil Industry Management Bureau is to submit how the OIMB does its monitoring. But to answer it precisely, we can have... After two weeks, it became..."
[0:00] Thank you, Chair.
[0:36] Thank you, Chair.
[1:11] Thank you, Chair.
[1:48] Thank you, Chair.
[2:23] Thank you, Chair.
[2:59] Thank you very much.
[3:33] I mentioned that the Director of the Oil Industry Management Bureau is to submit how the OIMB does its monitoring.
[3:41] But to answer it precisely, we can have...
[3:43] After two weeks, it became 110.
[3:47] So, did you confirm that?
[3:48] Did you validate that?
[3:49] That they really bought at 110 pesos per liter?
[3:55] Or did they just use their inventory?
[3:59] Because at that time, they still had 46 days for diesel and 53 days for gasoline.
[4:09] Mr. Chair, because we always have the cyclic differential cost...
[4:22] It's hard.
[4:23] It's hard to tell if you're right or wrong.
[4:24] This is what I'm saying.
[4:25] They still have inventory.
[4:27] You take note.
[4:28] It's still 46 days.
[4:29] This is the last year.
[4:31] It means that they still bought at the same price.
[4:35] After two weeks, they suddenly increased.
[4:40] They said 110.
[4:43] Now, it's abrading to 126.
[4:47] How did you monitor?
[4:48] How did you validate that it's true?
[4:50] While they're still using their inventory.
[4:54] They bought.
[4:55] At the same price.
[4:58] Mr. Chair, because basically, it's like saying that the diesel we consume is around 30, 33 million liters per day.
[5:12] So, it's about seven days.
[5:15] And when that's sold, they always...
[5:20] After two weeks, the inventory is gone.
[5:25] Forty-five.
[5:25] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:26] Forty-five.
[5:27] It'll arrive next week.
[5:28] No, wait.
[5:29] Let's go to their inventory first.
[5:32] After two weeks, is the inventory gone?
[5:34] Is that the assumption of DOE?
[5:36] No, it's around seven days.
[5:37] Oh yeah, that's the assumption.
[5:38] Where did you say 110?
[5:39] That is the question.
[5:41] Mr. Chair, because they have to replenish again the seven days...
[5:48] No, director.
[5:52] After two weeks, the inventory is still there.
[5:55] Yes.
[5:56] Okay.
[5:57] But after two weeks, it was 110 again.
[6:00] How did you justify that?
[6:04] Because, Mr. Chair, yung binenta kasi na yun will have to be replaced right after next week.
[6:14] So, kinulekta ho yung amount.
[6:17] So, ang nangyari, ang nag-finance ang taong bayan.
[6:23] Hindi, sabihin mo, hindi yung...
[6:24] That's the way...
[6:26] Ulitin mo, sinabi mo.
[6:27] So...
[6:28] Hindi, ulitin mo, sinabi mo.
[6:29] Yes, it's really...
[6:31] Hindi, exactly.
[6:31] It's passed on to...
[6:33] Ay, paano yung mga shareholders nila?
[6:36] Hindi sila gumagalaw?
[6:37] Ang taong bayan ang nagkakapitalize sa atin?
[6:42] Nandun pa yung inventaryo, eh.
[6:44] Ito yung problema.
[6:45] Ngayon, hindi nyo ginagamit yung sinasabi ng batas na
[6:49] in periods of emergency, kayo ang gagawa ng paraan.
[6:54] As a matter of fact, pwede nyo i-take over, eh.
[6:56] Hindi naman yun ang...
[6:58] Hindi naman yun ang sinasuggest ng committee nito, eh.
[7:02] We're all finding solutions to this.
[7:04] Pero itong mga questions nito, kasimple lang.
[7:06] Hindi nyo...
[7:06] Hindi nyo man kayang sagutin.
[7:08] Mr. Chair, we would like to clarify that we are not here to dispute
[7:11] the business models of our oil companies.
[7:14] As a matter of fact, we are thankful for their sacrifices for this country.
[7:18] Kaya lang, it would appear that the business models
[7:22] are no longer responding to the crisis
[7:24] kung paniniwalaan natin yung binabanggit ninyong problema
[7:27] ang kinakarap natin.
[7:29] But until and unless we are able to validate
[7:32] yung data ng pinreset ko kanina,
[7:34] we're almost four hours now
[7:35] since 10 o'clock in the...
[7:37] the morning, eh, pwede...
[7:39] pwede nga yung tank...
[7:41] vessel to tank, eh.
[7:43] Eh, gamitin nyo siguro Panamax vessel.
[7:46] Ang ano nyan siguro is about 100,000 metric tons per container.
[7:54] Oh, wala man nagbabalidate po, Mr. Chair, eh.
[7:57] Para sana uwi na lang ako.
[7:58] If you prove me wrong, alimbawa,
[8:00] mali yung nakuha kong information,
[8:03] so magsosorry na lang ako, Mr. Chair.
[8:07] Pwede naman ako magsori kung mali, eh.
[8:10] Hindi nahahabulin ko na lang yung tao ko,
[8:12] yung kaibigan ko na nagsabi sa akin ng gano'n.
[8:14] Bakit?
[8:15] Bakit?
[8:15] Bakit mo sinabi ito?
[8:16] Mali pala.
[8:17] Kasi gusto ko lang makatulong talaga, eh.
[8:20] I wanted to be wrong, kung mali talaga.
[8:24] But you have to prove me wrong.
[8:29] Government to government,
[8:30] hindi nga dapat mangyari yung pumunta nga...
[8:32] Andun nga yung tanki,
[8:35] yung mga tanki ng dalawang refineries.
[8:38] Rotterdam refineries produces, I think,
[8:40] 1.2 billion barrels, ah, yes, per day.
[8:45] At nandun ang kanilang tanki sa Singapore.
[8:48] Petronas also, andun ang tanki nila.
[8:50] Ayun po yung kanilang presyo.
[8:52] No...
[8:53] Nobody is reacting to this.
[8:55] Pinag-uusapan natin yung problema
[8:57] at ang mga measures na gagawin natin
[8:59] without even going back and checking
[9:01] whether those data are valid or not.
[9:07] So paano yung replacement cost?
[9:09] I already told you,
[9:11] kung papayagan natin yun,
[9:13] after three weeks, or after two weeks,
[9:16] 3 billion pesos per day.
[9:20] Did you check this?
[9:23] You say?
[9:25] Okay.
[9:25] No, did you check that it's 3 billion pesos per day,
[9:28] ang income?
[9:30] Pinreset ko kanina.
[9:36] But the collection this week
[9:38] was also used to purchase the level,
[9:42] even higher level of products.
[9:47] Kinuha muna kagad kasi,
[9:49] dapat sana,
[9:50] there should be a point
[9:51] where the replacement cost should begin.
[9:54] Saan ba magsisimula?
[9:57] The inventory should end
[9:58] where the replacement cost should begin.
[10:02] Ang nangyayari, ito nga,
[10:05] binil nyo na kagad ang taong bayan,
[10:07] 110 kagad,
[10:08] two weeks,
[10:09] and nandun pa ang binenta ninyo,
[10:10] sa sarili nyong inventaryo.
[10:12] So, it is the public,
[10:14] it is the poor public.
[10:15] Ayan si Mr.
[10:17] Boss, ano ang pangalan mo?
[10:19] Si Mr. Balbuena kanina pa naglulupasay.
[10:25] So,
[10:28] Mr. Chair,
[10:29] Mr. Chair,
[10:34] Mr. Chair,
[10:35] we're not saying that
[10:36] that is right in the business,
[10:39] the way it's now deregulated.
[10:41] You're not answering my question,
[10:43] Direktores.
[10:44] Sagutin mo muna eh.
[10:45] It's the 3 billion pesos per day.
[10:50] One month,
[10:51] itang ito eh.
[10:52] So, per day ito,
[10:53] 3 billion.
[10:53] Yes, Mr. Chair.
[10:55] If the perspective,
[10:56] because it's a matter of perspective,
[10:57] if the perspective is to ensure
[11:00] that the seven days
[11:02] used up this week
[11:05] will be replaced
[11:06] by next week immediately,
[11:08] then the oil company
[11:10] has to collect
[11:10] that level of collection
[11:13] to be able to purchase
[11:15] the seven days replacement.
[11:17] So, we can always go back
[11:19] to the 45 to 50 days.
[11:22] But if the perspective,
[11:24] again, if the perspective is
[11:25] you want to use up the 53
[11:27] before you replace it,
[11:30] and that is very dangerous,
[11:31] then I think we can exhaust the 53
[11:36] at that lower price.
[11:37] But the problem is,
[11:38] if they're gone
[11:41] and the collection is very low,
[11:43] you can no longer replace the 53 days.
[11:48] So, it's really,
[11:49] that's how they're explaining also,
[11:51] on Caltex,
[11:53] was also explaining that in the same way.
[11:55] But you're proceeding
[11:57] from the wrong premise.
[11:58] What I'm saying is,
[11:59] from now on,
[12:00] what you're talking about
[12:01] are maps and indicators
[12:02] coming from the Argos.
[12:04] Okay?
[12:05] That's the basis
[12:06] of the replacement cost.
[12:08] Okay?
[12:09] This is your spot market,
[12:10] this is your trading floor.
[12:13] What I'm saying is,
[12:15] after two weeks,
[12:16] and considering that
[12:18] you still have 46 days
[12:19] and 53 days
[12:21] for diesel and gasoline,
[12:22] respectively,
[12:24] you've already collected
[12:24] 3 billion
[12:25] of the collection
[12:26] and earned 3 billion pesos
[12:28] per day,
[12:29] which was bankrolled
[12:31] by the people themselves.
[12:33] This is the irony.
[12:35] Now, what's your role
[12:37] in the period of emergency
[12:39] and national interest
[12:40] is involved already?
[12:43] But we're still talking
[12:44] about the replacement cost.
[12:46] This is your answer first.
[12:47] Is it reasonable?
[12:49] Is this reasonable?
[12:50] In two weeks' time?
[12:52] Mr. Chair,
[12:53] again, it's a matter of perspective.
[12:55] When the law says that
[12:56] we may direct the operation,
[12:59] we have to be mindful of the,
[13:01] again, on price,
[13:03] we have to be mindful of the,
[13:05] of allowing the oil company
[13:07] to be able to replace it
[13:09] on a weekly basis.
[13:10] Let's close the argument.
[13:12] Did you check the oil companies?
[13:15] Did you get the document?
[13:18] Who bought it?
[13:20] Can you see how much they bought it?
[13:22] Did you check that?
[13:24] Have you done that?
[13:27] Not in that very...
[13:29] How are you going to say that now?
[13:31] That's your responsibility.
[13:33] If you are screening,
[13:34] if you are monitoring,
[13:35] okay, let's say replacement cost.
[13:37] Come here, my friends.
[13:39] Can you bring your ICPO?
[13:42] Let's see if it will work.
[13:43] Where did you buy it?
[13:44] We bought it at this price.
[13:46] This is the price.
[13:47] At least we checked.
[13:49] Now I am asking you,
[13:50] did you check?
[13:51] You said no.
[13:53] So what is monitoring?
[13:54] This is the frustration,
[13:59] Mr. Chair.
[14:01] Thank you.
[14:03] Mr. Chair?
[14:04] Mr. Valbuena,
[14:08] you want to interject?
[14:14] Mr. Chair.
[14:19] Go ahead.
