Xian compared the Iran conflict to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting what he sees as the central role of oil in keeping economies running:
“Iran conflict is far worse than the covid pandemic. Why? Because oil is the bloodstream of the economy. Workforce is the muscle of the economy. Noong na-lockdown tayong lahat, hindi umusad ang ekonomiya pero dumadaloy lahat ng basic necessities dahil walang problema sa oil supply—that's why naka-survive tayong lahat. This time, it's different.”
He also addressed perceptions of the Philippine government’s handling of the situation, suggesting that while officials are doing their job, transparency concerns can leave the public uncertain:

“Huwag niyo sisihin yung gobyerno kasi bawat bansa sa East Asia ay problemado ngayon kung saan kukuha ng langis. This is not their fault, but yes, they should take action. Oo, it's their job, pero wala silang kasalanan dito. Nagagalit kayo kasi parang feeling niyo hindi sila transparent sa publiko? Na para bang nagsisinungaling sila sa inyo? Eh ano palang gusto niyo? Mag-create sila ng mass panic? Na sabihin nila na mawawalan na tayo ng oil supply and food supply anytime soon? Gano'n ba? Huwag sana kayong tang. Trabaho din nila na pakalmahin ang sambayanang Pilipino sa gitna ng matinding unos na ito habang gumagawa ng paraan. Gano'n na lang ba kadali makakuha ng langis para sa 118 million na populasyon ha? Buti sana kung 6 million lang tayo 'gaya ng Singapore.”
Xian urged Filipinos to unite and take practical steps to conserve energy and resources, minimize travel, and work from home whenever possible:
“Mga Kababayan, ito yung panahon na kailangan muna nating isantabi ang pulitika kesyo maka-Duterte ka, maka-Marcos, maka-Leni o kung anong kulay ka man. Ito yung panahon na kailangan muna nating magkaisa. Magtipid tayo sa kuryente. Magtipid tayo sa gasolina at diesel. Magtipid tayo sa basic daily supplies. Work from home lahat ng pwedeng i-work from home. Manatili sa bahay kung walang importante na pupuntahan. Bawasan muna ang pasyal at tipirin ng husto ang natitira niyong pera because that is your lifeline at walang makakapagsabi kung anong mangyayari bukas.”
He also shared what he would do if he held a position of government authority, including rationing fuel and imposing price caps on essential goods:
“If I am in the position of power, irarasyon ko na yung gasolina at diesel sa buong bansa ngayon pa lang through emergency powers and executive order para ma-prolong pa as much as possible yung natitira nating oil supply. If I am in the position of power, I will put a price cap through an executive order as early as now sa presyo ng langis and other basic necessities such as rice, chicken, pork, water, electricity and many more. In times of national emergencies like this, we need to embrace communism over capitalism. Kailangan munang matalo yung mga malalaking kumpanya para maka-survive ang mga ordinaryong Pilipino.”
Xian further commented on what he believes could happen in a worst-case scenario, urging calm and cooperation:
“Worse comes to worst, kung humantong man talaga tayo sa kawalan ng langis, the government will declare state of emergency. From there ay magdo-donate ng oil supply yung mga neighboring countries natin 'gaya ng Malaysia, China, South Korea and Japan para dumaloy pa rin ang food supply sa buong bansa. If that day comes, huwag kayong gagawa ng gulo. Huwag kayong magra-rally. Huwag niyong palalain yung sitwasyon para hindi magkandaleche-leche ang buong Pilipinas. Kung ayaw niyo kay Pangulong Marcos, malapit na ang May 2028. So please, not now. Para mai-survive natin peacefully ang matinding pagsubok na ito as one country.”
He concluded his post by encouraging Filipinos to remain hopeful and prayerful, calling for national unity in uncertain times:
“Instead of hating the government na wala lang din maidudulot na maganda, ipagdasal natin na makagawa sila ng paraan at ma-manage nila ng tama ang matinding krisis na ito. My fellow Filipinos, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, mga kababayan, the sun will rise again!”
Xian’s post reflects his personal perspective on energy security, economic preparedness, and national unity, highlighting the concerns of some citizens about the potential impact of international conflicts on the Philippines.
