Giant oil firms just raised diesel prices to about 33-34 pesos per liter today. This is just in Metro Manila. In the provinces, diesel prices are now hovering between 38-40 per liter.
Yet, if you check the Singapore crude oil price index, you'll notice that diesel prices should actually be lower by 8 pesos.
Government knows this. Yet, government is doing nothing. Nothing, absolutely nothing.
Meaning, government is totally inutile.
This government deserves our hate. And I must say that one of my resolutions is not to attack this government, but this is too much.
How will jeepney drivers cope with this with a 7.50 fare? And how will private motorists cope with a 33/liter pump price?
The collusion between giant oil firms and Energy officials is really one of the things which People should militate about.
People should rise up from their seats and show this government that enough is enough. The economic situation is really very serious and people are suffering.
When a government loses its concern with the people, it is not serving the people enough. Hence, it loses relevance. When it loses value, what is government for?
Useful.
