Statement of DOE Sec. Alfonso G. Cusi on the Drone Attacks Against Saudi Aramco's Facilities

In light of the recent coordinated drone strikes against Saudi Arabia’s key oil sites on Saturday (14 September), we convened an emergency meeting on Sunday afternoon with members of the energy family (DOE-Electric Power Industry Management Bureau; DOE- Oil Industry Management Bureau; NEA; NPC; PNOC; and PNOC-EC) at the DOE’s headquarters in Taguig City. 

We are seeking to ensure that the energy family will be sufficiently prepared to face the potential impact of this unfortunate incident, if any, on the country.  

Rest assured that the DOE, together with the entire energy family, is closely monitoring the situation, and will keep the public properly informed of developments on the matter.
