what do the masses want the govt to do? impose price controls?!

most people don't look at the big picture
oil is just one part of the energy complex
the energy complex is just one part of the commodities complex
and the commodities complex is just one of many asset classes where billions and trillions of dollars flow in and out of
all of a sudden, oil companies don't seem so big now huh?

Wala naman talaga tayong magagawa e. Bulag talaga ang gov't sa mga Oil Companies na yan kasi napakalaking revenue sa taxes ng mga ito ang nakukuha nila. Anyway, kaya ganyan magtaas ng prices ang mga lintek na yan ay dahil sumusikat na ang mga hybrid cars. Although they have been around for many years, it's only recently that they are getting their share of the spotlight. Sa madaling sabi, malapit ng matapos ang maliligayang araw ng mga Oil Companies na yan.
BTW, Toyota already unveiled Prius here. And it costs Php2,200!!! In Japan, it costs $20,500. Why? Kasi half nung 2.2M ay gov't taxes. These sharks are imposing big taxes on it because they want to discourage people from switching to hybrids. Ganyan din ang ginagawa ng US gov't, mataas ang taxes nila sa hybrids kaya sila ang pinakamalakas na consumer ng langis. Again, why? Kasi nga malaki ang kita nila sa oil taxes!
Tumataas tuloy ang hgh blood ko at nanginginig ang nerbyos system ko.

Let's try to look at a more simple view.
oil companies buy oil from producers - transport it to the stores - sell it.
It's none of the people's concern whatever complexities these companies face. We're only concerned with the products we use. Sure it's a global commodity but the bottom line is, they buy this at a price and sell it at a profit which is the whole point of business but it is highly illegal to enrich oneself at the expense of one's fellowmen - in this case by overpricing.
Even if the study was done in March, it's easy to backtrack the price increases. The point is, as early as the first quarter of the year, it was mathematically proven that their products are well overpriced.
These companies should be highly monitored and controlled to protect the interests of the consumers. If they can't live with that, they can get out of the country. There are many who will replace them even from the locals.

June 22nd, 2009 04:54 PM #16Napansin ko lang when they are imposing fuel price parang ang DOE pa ang nag jujustify... Parang sa balita kasi sabihin "Gasolina tataas........." Sabay may interview sa mga taga DOE saying na tama lang ang price or justifiable naman. Something seems not right... Well what can we do. We live in a corrupt country.

when the price of your raw material fluctuates every minute of everyday, it gets complicated
you buy from suppliers who change their prices by the minute, while you have to keep the price of your products steady for a whole week
you hold your breath and hope the price of the raw material won't go so high that your current earnings may not cover the cost of paying for your next order
to cover rising cost of future orders, you raise your prices now so you would have a safety margin
then you get accused of profiteering
you're just trying to run a business
amazing

ya the govt can do that
without VAT, the govt will collect less taxes
foreign creditors will then charge the Phils. higher interest rates on loans coz they will doubt the Phil. govt could collect enough taxes to meet its obligations
VAT cannot be removed
the debtor is slave to the lender

Geez, nandito na naman yung defenders ng mga oil companies...heck, sarado na rin naman ang utak nung mga yan eh. Kahit sino pa mag-explain sa kanila. (Pero yung isa should brush up on his grammar, major nosebleed!) I'd fire the analyst who would dare present me such a report using atrocious sentence construction.
This is going to be a long thread, so hold on to your seats...Batman and Robin are in town!!!
