it was in the news last night that gas companies are again planning to increase the gasoline prices for about 1 peso per liter. does anyone get surprised by this still? now the companies are allowing the auditor or people to view their books so that they will know that no overpricing has been done but still there are other conditions before their books will be opened. i think they are hiding something if they provide their conditions before they are inspected. dont they have pity on the people who adjust always to the increasing prices of gasoline every month?

yes they hiding something, so what if they show to book of effing overprice gas? i assure you that they change it, they have no heart in our jeepney drivers and other transportation vehicle that needs gas look at what they doing:
they increase the gas by .80 pesos then they will rollback by .30 pesos where is the .0 pesos?, the next day they increase the gas by 1 peso then they rollback by .20 pesos where is the .80 pesos? all the people that have cars and vehicles are suffering for what they doing. its a domino effect if they increase the price of gasoline then the transportation fee will increase also, so the people or the commuters will suffer, and out government have no actions in the gasoline increase because they are all numb. That's why government are corrupt because there are no political will. specially in Department Of Energy the gasoline companies put money in there brain, mouth, eyes, and all the hole in the body, they are being used by these big fuel companies and our Filipino people is suffering. I'm starting to hate Philippines because of massive corruption, and because our president has no action to do with the poor people.

So what else is new nowadays? Oil price increases seem to be part of news everyweek. I guess people had become apathetic or too numb to even react when there's one. Thanks to the oil price hike watchers and some NGOs who keep raising complaints. I think we should learn to accept that unless we tap other sources of energy there will always oil price hikes. Even if we tap other sources of energies, the price of oil will still go up but at least those who are using alternative energies will not be adversely affected.

yes, people are already getting used to the price hike that is does not generate that much clamor to the people anymore. you are correct to note that only the oil critics and ngos are raising the complains. it is not a new thing anymore and i guess we have accepted the fact that these oil companies are getting richer by the minute.
