Because they mentioned the Department of Energy of the Philippines so I went to their website here

And here is the news from their website (I have shortened it)

Date published: Mar 30 2026 
MEDIA RELEASE  30 March 2026
DOE: 165.7M Liters of diesel secured through April to strengthen national fuel supply

The Department of Energy (DOE) today announced that 1.042 million barrels of diesel, equivalent to 165,678,000 liters, have been secured for delivery through April as part of the government’s decisive actions to reinforce the country’s fuel supply position amid continued volatility in the global oil market due to the Middle East conflict.

The first shipment, consisting of 142,000 barrels or 22,578,000 liters from Japan, arrived in the Philippines on 26 March 2026. 

The remaining deliveries are set to arrive as follows:

• 300,000 barrels (47,700,000 liters) from M----sia/Singapore - early April
• 300,000 barrels (47,700,000 liters) from North Asia/India - mid-April
• 300,000 barrels (47,700,000 liters) from Oman/Singapore - end April

My Comments:

I hope the Philippine Dept of Energy website is not fake. 

Going on face value, the Philippine Dept of Energy website says they are getting 300,000 barrels or 47,700,000 liters of diesel in early April. Today is the 12th of April.

So Wong Siew Mun is not klentonging. 
Neither is Isham Jalil.

What do I say? Takpelah. 
If Philippines needs diesel, let them import diesel.  
After all it is big profits for someone. 

The big question mark is who exports the diesel to the Philippines? 
Who makes the big profits?
I can think of two names.
Well both of them are c@bron. 

Isham Jalil talks about kera di hutan and so on.
Brother Isham - rupanya kau bukan kera bro. 
Nasib baik juga.
