Attacks on Saudi Oil Sites to Affect PH Seriously, DFA Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. Says
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said that the recent attacks on oil sites in Saudi Arabia would affect Philippines.
On Saturday (September 14, 2019), the two plants owned by state giant Aramco suffered from drone attack that cut into global energy supplies and divides the kingdom’s oil production. The weekend drone attack also threatened to cause regional oil crisis.
The United States is blaming Iran over the drone attacks, which have slashed the oil production of Saudi Arabia by half, as the state released new evidence to prove its allegation over the assault.
However, the foreign ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi expressed his fury towards the statement of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “Such fruitless and blind accusations and remarks are incomprehensible and meaningless,” said.
Recently, DFA secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said that the attacks on the world’s largest oil processing facility will seriously affect the Philippines.
Here is the full post:
“This is serious. It will—not could—affect us deeply; to put it bluntly, an oil shortage or steep rise in oil price will rock the Philippine boat & tip it over. So everybody shut the fuck up and focus. No more clowns. Declaring state of emergency won’t save our economy but kill it”
