Antes pa magkawara an supply han lana, maghinayhinay n akita pagbaya ha iya, kay niyan ha urhi, kukurian ka na kun hiya inin mawaray na!
For decades, it has been the invisible engine behind modern life. But lately, that engine has been sputtering—and the costs of keeping it running are becoming impossible to ignore.
We are living through a perfect storm: rising fuel prices, extreme weather, and global tensions that send oil markets into chaos. Every time a conflict erupts or a supply chain falters, the price at the pump jumps, and so does the cost of everything from groceries to electricity. For families already stretched thin, it’s more than an inconvenience—it’s a crisis.
As you traverse Tacloban, you can actch the glimpse of high cost of oil plastered in the Price Display of Gas stations. We can also see, fuel stations with CLOSED posters, saying that supply had run-out.
So what does “saying goodbye to oil” really mean? It doesn’t mean turning off the lights tomorrow or grounding every plane. It means making a deliberate, steady shift toward cleaner, more reliable energy sources—solar panels on rooftops, wind farms along coastlines, electric buses in our cities. It means governments, businesses, and citizens acting like co-pilots on the same flight, steering toward a safer destination.
The good news? This transition is already underway. Countries are investing in renewables, carmakers are rolling out electric models, and communities are finding creative ways to cut energy use. The more we invest in these solutions now, the less we’ll be at the mercy of oil price shocks and climate disasters later.
In our locality , we must break habits that are energy intensive like using multiple light sources even at daytime when we can open windows ? Why do we use cars on short trips when we can walk ? Why do we need AC on rainy nights?
Saying goodbye is never an easy thing , but at times , goodbyes are never controlled and it’s a reality that needs to be faced. Lets go forth , looking into and using alternatives , we say farewell to oil!
