Mga grupo ng driver, nagbabala sa mahal na gasolina habang tumatagal ang welga

MANILA, Philippines — Pumasok na sa ikaapat na linggo ang welga ng mga driver habang pinapahusay ng mga grupo ang panawagan para sa pagbabalik ng presyo ng gasolina. Sa kasalukuyang rate sa world market, dapat nasa P70 hanggang P75 lamang bawat litro ang presyo ng gasolina, ayon kay Manibela chairperson Mar Valbuena.

Pinuna rin ni Piston national president Mody Floranda na mas mura ang binili na gasolina sa lokal na merkado, na nagmumungkahi na "overpriced" ito.
"We have 50 to 60 days of supply so what is the reason for them to increase the prices on fuel," ani Floranda.
Gayunpaman, sinabi nina Valbuena at Floranda na huli na ang hakbang ng Department of Energy (DOE) na maglagay ng minimum rollbacks at maximum price increases.

Hiniling ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta sa gobyerno na pilitin ang mga oil company na mag-refund sa mga consumer kung mapapatunayan na nag-manipula sila ng presyo para sa windfall profits.
Nanindigan si Marcoleta sa kanyang estimate na kumikita ng hanggang P3 bilyon kada araw ang mga petroleum company sa pamamagitan ng maagang paggamit ng “replacement costs” sa existing inventories.
Wala raw nagdududa sa kanyang figures mula sa oil players o DOE.

"If it is not true that they are earning P3 billion every day, why have they not objected? Silence is acquiescence. Silence is admission," sabi ni Marcoleta sa Kapihan sa Manila Hotel forum.
