Protest against Petroleum Companies

**atomictom** · October 22nd, 2008 02:15 AM

Public transport groups will hold a protest rally on friday against the 3 major petroleum distributors questioning the present overpricing of their products.

As consumers, we too, should air our concern.

How can we help these transport groups on friday?

imho admittedly, the cost of fuel per liter is not commensurate with the price of oil in the world market.

admittedly too, that the industry is deregulated. no one can dicate them to lower down their prices.

what i think the best thing to be done is for the independent and small players to have them lowered based on the price of crude in the world market, and the motorists should just go there. that is the price and advantage of free market. kaya lang, based on what i've been currently seeing, hindi din ganung ka willing ang small players to push through with the big rollback. i guess its just business.

This is what a lot of people do not understand.

With a little bit of knowledge they try to stretch the truth to justify their so-called protests.

These so-called transport groups should be doing the following concrete actions instead of their all-talk-no-action charade:

Organize the deployment of public jeepneys and buses so that every trip is maximized. Give every driver a rotating schedule on when to ply his route... instead of leaving dozens of drivers the said choice of when they should ply the route.

That will mean less trip and expense per PUV but it will still give them the same amount of income.

===

Minimize the amount of waiting time of PUVs, they protest that diesel price is high but they are wasting a lot of fuel just idling and waiting for passengers.

And causing traffic while they clog the "kanto" waiting for passengers.

A wasteful cycle fo all.

Ideally, yes they should be thinking beyond their usual street actions but this is better said than done. We can't even discipline these PUV drivers on the streets- how much more on forcing them to adhere to a scheme such as this?

Mga bus drivers nga sa Edsa nagkakarerahan pa rin kahit na may nangyari ng aksidente. The point is, it is the right of these PUVs drivers and operators to cry out their disdain for these oil companies but they should also see to it that they find other innovative ways to address this issue.

no oil company is that crazy.

The oil company who is gonna do 1 BIG ROLLBACK is suicidal.

oil companies should "moderate their greed"

sabi nga eh "business is business" pero kung may naa-agrabyado na hindi na tama siguro yun. at sa usapan na to, si juan dela cruz ang naa-agrabyado.

kaya naman talaga ibaba ang presyo na yan eh
