Corporate Greed and Corruption should also be addressed by Pnoy

Pnoy will address the nation on June 30. Will he dare say that his first year in office marks the revival of cronyism in its vile form? Will he dare say that the economy slowed down due to months of inactivity? Will he tell us the real truth about the infighting going on among his friends, his shooting buddies and relatives? And will he tell us that he is still grappling with the responsibilities of his job and quite unable to address the root causes of graft and corruption?


Pnoy wants to address graft and corruption in the next five years. I dare say that Pnoy should also fight corporate greed and corruption. This issue has begun to worsen in the last couple of decades and this must be addressed immediately.


Look, oil companies have again raised their pump prices. Imagine, they did so--Shell and Chevron--at the time when people need gasoline. Other oil companies did so last week. 


These oil companies do not fear government. Fact is, they are subverting the will of this government and its people. They don't respect Pnoy and definitely, they do not fear the wrath of the People.


If at all, Pnoy needs to rally the people against anything, I agree that it should be fighting these giant oil companies. They have committed the highest infamy, that is disrespect a respectable people.

Chevron raises pump prices while we suffer

While the Northern parts of our country suffers in agony over this natural catastrophe, Chevron raises its pump prices of gasoline and kerosene by 25 and 50 cents respectively. 


I don't know about you, but this act is definitely one of the most deplorable and sickening thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life.


Chevron and the rest of these giant oil companies have been getting a lot of monies from us. They are getting billions of dollars from us. And they have the gall to raise prices at a time when we most need help.


Chevron's heart is as black as that gooey liquid they are selling. Imagine, at least 3,000 families are now suffering from the brunt of Typhoon Megi and here you are, an oil giant, raising your pump prices. 


Is this economic sabotage or what? I mean, come on!


These oil giants did it at the height of Typhoon Ondoy. When everybody's licking their wounds from the devastation wrought by the typhoon, these oil companies raised their fuel prices. And they are doing it again now. 


Government must interfere. Government must stomp their feet down. Pnoy must not let companies capitalize from our misery.
