Militant groups took to the streets to protest the latest big-time increase in fuel prices and urged the government to junk the Oil Deregulation Law.

Protesters from various progressive groups staged the protest rally on Aurora Boulevard in Cubao, Quezon City, on Tuesday.

“Noong nakaraang linggo ay sinabi ng DOE [Department of Energy] na sapat ang supply ng langis sa bansa dahil may 30-day inventory ang mga oil refineries at 15-day inventory naman ang mga bulk importers. Nabili nila ang stocks nila bago pa ang nangyaring pag-atake sa oil industry ng Saudi Arabia ,” Reyes explained.

The militant group also tagged the DOE’s justification of the oil price hike as “frustrating,” saying the agency should probe the pricing methods of oil firms instead of being the first to surrender to market forces.

Find other oil sources, Duterte ordersPresident Duterte has ordered concerned agencies to look for other sources of oil to sustain the country’s stable energy supply, Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said Monday. Better yet is to end the oil addiction Mr. President and be energy independent. Free us from the troubles of the Middle East & shift us away from oil. Find full electric or hybrid options now & have the will to implement it. Add the oil from plastic. We have a Pinoy scientist doing that. Hehe. Perhaps add funds and help them? 🤔
