SINCE the government cannot do something to stop oil price increases, it should instead look for ways on how to cut reliance on imported fuel.
Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño made this statement as he urged the government expand the use of Malampaya natural gas.
According to Casiño, natural gas can be used as alternative fuel to run vehicles and other means of mass transport.
“One very good use for our Malampaya resources is that we can expand its use for mass transport via compressed natural gas (CNG) buses, and other vehicles,” Casino said.
The progressive solon stressed that while we groan under the yoke of overpriced fuel from oil firms, we have trillions of cubic feet of natural gas from Malampaya and recently, from Recto Reed, which could help meet our electricity generation requirements and even alleviate the riding public from high transportation costs.
If tapped, Malampaya, which produces trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, will certainly be a big boost to our energy sector, he added.
The
remaining gas reserves of Malampaya are estimated to be 2 trillion
cubic feet, still a lot of gas despite 10 years of continuous
extraction. Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño made this statement as he urged the government expand the use of Malampaya natural gas.

“Taking into account the reported 4.66 trillion cubic feet of gas in Recto Reed, these huge natural gas sources could liberate us from the stranglehold of the Big Three oil firms and foreign players in the energy sector. It must be ensured though that it is developed by the government and a Filipino-owned and controlled company, the gas is subject to price regulation, and natural gas plants are built by the government,” he also said.
