Letter of Instructions No. 848
The Commissioner of the Budget
The Treasurer of the Philippines
The Chairman of the Philippine National Oil Co.
To alleviate the temporary aberrations in the petroleum product supply
situation, the Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC) has negotiated the spot
purchase from Kuwait of some 300,000 barrels of diesel oil and 150,000 barrels
of naphtha. The foregoing products will be purchased at spot market prices and
it is expected that the PNOC would incur costs estimated at P 28 million over and
above normal importation costs exclusive of the duty free importation savings in
the case of naphtha.
In view thereof, the Treasurer of the Philippines is hereby directed to release for the purpose P 28 million out of the special fund created pursuant to Section 8 (j) of Republic Act No. 6173, as amended, to the PNOC.
The PNOC shall submit a report to the President accounting for the disbursement and utilization of the foregoing funds.
This Letter of Instruction shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila, this 18th day of April, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Seventy-Nine.
