The Philippines faces the economic impact of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, with massive fuel price hikes triggering calls for the government to suspend or reduce fuel excise taxes. President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. assures the public of sufficient fuel supply and is considering certifying as urgent a measure giving him the authority to cut fuel taxes.

Supermarket association president Steven Kua warns that a surge in the prices of basic commodities is a logical consequence of rising fuel costs, urging consumers to avoid panic buying. The Department of Agriculture prepares fuel subsidies for farmers and fisherfolk who are struggling with higher operational expenses. Local governments in provinces like Basilan and Cebu are now implementing energy conservation measures and appealing for aid.

Meanwhile, President Marcos pitches for the Philippines' bid for a non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council during his visit to the US.

In other news, allies and family members of former President Rodrigo Duterte, including Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Imee Marcos, mark the first anniversary of his arrest and turnover to the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling the incident a threat to national sovereignty.
