Governor Pam S. Baricuatro convened an emergency meeting to discuss precautionary measures amid the looming conflict between the United States and Iran and its possible impact on global fuel supply and prices.
Following the meeting, Executive Order No. 15 was released, directing all Capitol offices to implement fuel-saving measures, including reducing unnecessary travel, to ensure responsible consumption and preparedness in anticipation of a possible fuel crisis. The governor also ordered all departments to submit their respective fuel conservation plans as part of a coordinated provincial response.
The Executive Order provides exemptions for emergency and essential services, including ambulances, disaster response operations, and emergency social services, to ensure uninterrupted delivery of critical assistance to the public.
At the same time, the Provincial Government is preparing contingency support mechanisms for possible returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who may be affected by the escalating situation abroad, ensuring assistance systems are ready should repatriation become necessary.
The Provincial Government is also in constant communication and coordination with the Department of National Defense, the Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Migrant Workers and other national agencies to ensure timely information sharing, preparedness, and appropriate response measures.
Governor Baricuatro emphasized the importance of early preparation, prudent resource management, and coordinated action to protect Cebuanos from possible economic and humanitarian impacts. /𝑪𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑻𝑶𝑳 𝑷𝑰𝑶
