is poised to make a significant impact on the country's energy landscape by
by investing in fuel storage facilities. The move aims to strengthen the na
nation's resilience against oil shocks and mitigate the risks associated wi
with global market disruptions.

A Strategic Move Maharlika's Fuel Storage Plans

MIC President and CEO Rafael Consing Jr. emphasized the need for additional
additional storage capacity, given the current supply chain's estimated 60-
60-day duration and low utilization rate of under 60 percent. To address th
this challenge, MIC is in discussions with Philippine National Oil Co. (PNO
(PNOC) and private sector partners to develop additional storage capacity t
through a consortium.

Averting Market Risk

Unlike other investors, MIC will not directly purchase or trade oil invento
inventories due to exposure to price volatility. Instead, the fund will foc
focus on infrastructure investments that can deliver stable, long-term retu
returns while addressing critical gaps in the energy sector. Consing emphas
emphasized the importance of avoiding market risks and ensuring that every 
peso invested has a wide impact.

Electricity Infrastructure A Critical Next Step

In the longer term, MIC plans to prioritize electricity infrastructure – pa
particularly transmission and distribution networks – to improve energy acc
access and reduce costs, especially in areas heavily reliant on diesel powe
power. This move will help attract more renewable energy developers and red
reduce dependence on fossil fuels over time.

security. The fund's commitment to avoiding market risks and focusing on st
