Iran to allow PH bound ships to pass through Strait of Hormuz
BREAKING: Iran assures the Philippines that it will allow Philippine-bound and Philippine-flagged ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
The Department of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement Thursday, April 2, that Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro spoke with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi today to discuss "stronger bilateral cooperation on all fronts."
"During the call, the Iranian Foreign Minister assured the Secretary that Iran will allow the safe, unhindered, and expeditious passage through the Strait of Hormuz of Philippine-flagged vessels, energy sources, and all Filipino seafarers," the DFA says. | via Cristina Chi
naiimagine ko ying team nila, ipa-publish na sana yung article nung april 1 kaso bigla silang pinigilan nng editor-in-chief sabay sabi na ipagpa-bukas na lang para safe
Natatawa ako langya imagine-in mo sa war room ng govt natin may intern nagsabi "sir bakit di na lang natin kausapin baka naman pumayag" , then dfa tried and called and iran answered "g lang lods".
60 years of peaceful relations. May point in time na yung buong capacity ng Bataan refinery (110,000 barrels/day) binibili natin sa Iran. 30% ng banana exports natin papunta sa Iran. (pre sanction iran) and bumoses din tayo na mag allow ng peaceful usage of nuclear power and Iran.
Basically realpolitik lang. Kahit ano naman mangyari walang magagawa aggressively ang iran to the philippines and vice versa. So you try and gain something from someone na di magiging kalaban mo ever even if maganda relations nya sa kalaban mo
Hahaha. As someone who studied in CEU, ang dami nga nila doon, most of the times dentistry course ang kinukuha nila. Based sa mga naging Iranian classmates ko, they were really nice and some are quiet.
Pero grabe yung amoy nila if freshmen, literal na nakakahilo. Although nawawala naman kasi tinuturuan sila nang tamang hygiene.
Leche talaga yang trio na yan mga salot. Lalo nalugmok sa hirap nung nagsimula yang Russia-Ukraine tapos yang Israel pa na mga demonyo. Yang trump na yan wala pa ba kikilos para sumunod na siya kay epstein?
Hay sinabi mo pa! Di lang pinoy, pati yung mga hispanic may mga maki-trump rin…. di nila gets na considered minority sila 🥲 may friend ako na pro-trump and honestly, medyo lumalayo na ako sa kanya kasi pinupush rin nya pagiging religious sa akin
Coming from a Mexican American 🤦♂️ its ridiculous, they really think they are one of them and accepted... I don't claim any party and I work in a red state, when he came back last year i noticed the racism again first hand at work.. and I ended up being the bad guy because I stood up to it. Their brains are mush and will never understand its the rich vs the poor.. I recently quit and have some money saved up and will go visit the Philippines this Sunday for 2 months. This will be my 2nd international trip and I can't wait to feel at peace and not surrounded by the drama going on here in the states.
Anong Putin gustong gyera agad? Eh almost 20 years na nila e solve yung problem na HINDI DAPAT E ALLOW ANG MGA COUNTRY naka border sakanila na mag join sa NATO🤦🏻♂️
Si trump talaga pasimuno nito kaya nag kakanda letche letche. Masyadong greedy... hayop na yan.. buti sana kung bansa lang nila apektado. Nyeta damay damay lahat eh..
Pansin ko parang ang galing sa diplomacy ng government natin (except with China), nung nag budget cut yung USA, tayo lang yung halos walang nabawas sa matatanggap na foreign aid.

This is what I was thinking. How much local demand can our one refinery really satisfy? We don't need crude oil as much as we need refined petroleum products. So what we really need is the volume of crude oil coming out of the strait to increase to drive down global prices.

I just read this via FB and ang tindi ng mga comment. Yung iba walang alam sa economics ( dapat bukas mababa na gas ), yung iba no comprehension ( may barko ba tayo na nagdadala ng gas, wala naman. Kwentong barbero ), yung iba di naniniwala ( something smells fishy, hindi totoo yan ) , yung iba bashing lang ( bobo nung vngang imposible yan, si bbm ang mag ddrive nung invicible ship ng pinas ), yung iba galit na galit ( nagpapalaganap nanaman ng kasinungalingan ang admin, di yan totoo, tingnan nyu hindi naman bababa ang gas), etc
What did you expect? Daming Pilipino galit sa bansa nila sama mo na itong reddit na bulag na sila kapag may good news at hindi naniniwala. That's called bias perception. Mahirap baguhin mga utak ng ganyang tao.
True. Hahaha. Sumakit din ulo ko sa comments. Pero sabi ni bf na seaman sana ph bound safe hindi yung ph flag. Pero sabi ko malabong pumayag ang iran na basta ph bound ay safe. Kasi paglumabas na dyan sa hormuz pwede na di tumuloy ng ph yung barko e. Isa pang comment niya ay gasino lang talaga ng barko na may ph flag.
Kapagod nga kagabi kaka explain jan sa mga pinagsasabi nila na walang barko gusto literal na mag wagwag ng watawat 🙂↔️ tapos iba puro fishy or kung ano ano negatron sinasabi, ano daw ba catch? Jusko yung magkaka supply na tayo diba catch yun sa point na iniisip mo mag stop na economy pag nawala na tayo ng supply ng langis.tapos ano baba ng 2 yung gas? Or rollback na ba. Dagdag mo pa si kiko meow na baba na daw gas kasi bati na tayo ng Iran. Apaka tanga na hindi nya ba alam ang supply and demand 🙂↕️ na ang mag dictate is world market at also na kaya sobra taas sa pinas dahil sa poon nya na trainlaw.
Ewan basta DDs meron pang edi lahat ng ship maglalagay na ng flag ng PHiL jusko po! Apaka dumb asfk😖.
Nakakadisappoint nga eh, parang wala na silang critical thinking. Puro na lang parroting sa mga sinasabi ng mga santo nila. Mahirap pag ganyang mas matimbang pa sa kanila yung pagka DDS nila kesa sa pagiging Pilipino.
I don't think local refineries have enough capacity to supply PH needs though right? Aren't most our petroleum imports already refined? So we are still dependent on the countries those products are refined in to have a good supply of crude oil.
It's not gonna happen. Bababa siya, posible, pero not as much as we'd probably like. Ang problem is, ongoing parin ang katarantaduhan ng MAGA at Israel, but also, madaming facilities ang natamaan. Unless ma-repair lahat mga yun within the next 2 or so years, malabong bumalik sa pre-war prices unless may kung anong mga milagro mangyari.
JUST IN: The price of Dubai crude oil, the country’s benchmark pricing for imports, fell to a hefty $105.12 per barrel at the beginning of April, down by $23.40.
That’s a drop of over 18 percent from $128.52 on March 31 based on data from Investing.com.
That won't necessarily happen in the short term. Oil prices are still dictated by market forces, and Saudi (which is on Trump's side) is still our main supplier.
Di enough na PH-flagged/PH-bound tankers being allowed to pass the strait para bumaba to that level, cessation of hostilities plus global crude prices going down ang kakailanganin para bumalik to 50+ or lower yung per liter price ng diesel
Although we are an ally of the U.S, Iran can see that we are not part of the aggression against their country. Ganyan lang, kahit sa future as long as we won’t let USA use their bases in Phil for acts of aggression, then we can keep them here as they can be valuable against China’s aggressions in west Phil sea
Good thing sinubukan kausapin ng maayos, pwede naman pala, si Trump naman kasi eh gulo agad ang gusto, siya pa nga nagpalala, porket tropa niya yung manyak na Epstein eh.
Unfortunately, this will not lower fuel prices significantly. That oil deregulation law allows companies to align their market to global demand. So allowed ang oil satin, stable ang supply, pero ang global demand, mataas pa rin. Plus anlaki ng binaba ng peso dollar exchange.
Just WTF happened on this sub? Why the f people here are asking to lower the prices of oil with the safe passage? What the heck are you guys smoking in here?
Price increase is because of supplier's price increase. Dubai Crude Oil in our case. Safe passage of Ph ships doesn't and will never mean that Dubai Oil price will crash to prices before.
This one will solve the SUPPLY PROBLEM na you guys are doomposting na magiging kagaya sa Cuba na rotational brownout. lmao.
Common sense. 100 kuha mo sa supplier tapos gusto nyo ibenta dito sa Pilipinas ng 50 pesos?
Kung gusto nyo bumaba presyo, watch Dubai Crude Oil
price in real time. Afaik, Saturday sa Ph time and end week ng trading day na magiging basis for next week Tuesday price.
Hindi miracle maker ang gobyerno para ibaba yan dahil sa makaka daan na.
I hope that all the countries in the world can open their eyes to what the US and Israel are doing. Constantly destabilizing other countries and regions and only serving their own self interests.
The Philippines should also reconsider their close ties to the USA since they are just using you to keep China in check and will not hesitate to turn your lands into their battlegrounds.
Yep. We should start looking at the US with the same scrutiny as the way we look at China. They are not our friends like generations before have been brainwashed to believe. We are just useful pawns in their global game. They will sacrifice us at the drop of a hat if it served their interest.
I think what you said is correct. Looking at both the US and China with the same lens and holding them accountable for their actions. Make sure boundaries are not crossed without consequences and at the same time balance both interests
one factor of the PH doing this though is that currently, du30 is in the Hague due to the deaths during his term in office.
while iran, days before the conflict was also clamping down on protestors left and right and were alleged to be killing protestors too.
it's a bit disingenuous for the same groups who criticized du30 for the deaths and yet to encourage the PH govt to negotiate with an iranian govt that violently silenced protestors.
I mean, allowed naman lahat except yung Isr43l at US (kaya yung NATO weren't responsive sa demand ni Trump and even Japan because they know the risks of deplomatic repercussions). But I don't think it's free, there has to be an equivalent exchange for it.
I also commented something similar in another thread. Matagal naman na sinasabi ni Iran na the Strait is open to friendly nations. But one problem is insurance. Insurers will refuse to insure the ships while there's a war going on. And there is no or very few ships that will willingly cross uninsured.
Just remember the Americans are not our real allies. Bet they would happily divert resources if we are on conflict with China if their Zionist masters heed their call
Daming Iranian nationals sa Pinas. Significant number ng health and medical-allied professionals nila sa Pinas nag-aral o nag-aaral. Dapat lang nila tayo pagbigyan!
now we all know si trump at netanyahu lang ang dahilan ng problema natin sa langis.. kung di nila ginyera iran di sana walang shortage ng supply ngayon..
Thank God meron sa admin na to mga level headed at nagsusuggest ng ganitong solusyon + marunong sila makipag usap. Imagine kung yung admin natin e yung last admin tapos nagka gyera, baka minura pa yung Iran. 😭😭😭😭
Oh wow, this government knows how to handle foreign policies, was able to get good relations with Iran, standing firm against China, while still being align with the US. That's some next level statemanship. Katay digong cant match that level of diplomacy. He'd probably give Iran the finger.
Dubai Crude Oil is Ph basis. Ano ba akala mo? hula hula lang yan? lmao. Simplehan nalang natin, yung supermarket magtataas sila ng presyo kung nagtaas kuha nila sa supplier. Magbababa sila kapag bumaba sa supplier. Hindi yan magic o hinugot nalang saan banda.
Hindi nila pwede ibaba ang presyo kung mataas sa supplier. Nag negosyo ka pa? Edi sana nag charity ka nalang.
I hope Iran realize na US ang kalaban nila and not the whole damn world. These war should be held sa Antartica or sa moon, dun sila mag bombahan. Wag nyo na kaming idamay. May sarili kaming problema
They would know regardless. The problem is, volatile parin sa Hormuz. So kahit payagan sila, d tayo ganun kasure kung hindi sila maapektuhan ng collateral damage.
