                    [Summary] => The Philippines has started diversifying the sources of its oil supply, an energy official said.


"I think Shell has started to get oil from Iran but not as regular as its other sources," Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary J.V. Emmanuel de Dios said.


He said it would be better if they could work out a permanent deal with Iran. "We want this oil importing to become as regular as possible," he added.
