This was the clarification offered made by Roxas to the local media after Bukidnon Rep. Miguel Zubiri said he was blocking the passage of the measure post a conference with an official of a petroleum company.

Mar Roxas said on Saturday that he simply wants to be sure that the bill now pending in the Senate guarantees enough supply to meet the domestic ethanol demand and that the country will not be forced to import the alternative fuel that will instead help farmers in Brazil and Thailand.


This was the clarification offered made by Roxas to the local media after Bukidnon Rep. Miguel Zubiri said he was blocking the passage of the measure post a conference with an official of a petroleum company.
