Ang sakin lang if they can immediately raise the price within hours pag tumaas sa merkado. Okay, walang kaso dun. Pero sana pag bumaba naman sana ganun din sila kabilis magbaba. E hindi e dami nila alibi putres!

May asosasyon yang mga oil companies na yan -big or small players, lahat sila. they are all professionals so hindi nila gagawin yung magbababa ang isa ng todo. Pare parehas silang mawawalan in the end. Kuntsa kuntsaba lang yan in other words.

Kahit saan may kuntsabahan. Pag nagbaba yung isa ng todo baka makuyog siya ng iba.

yup..I think this is the real picture....kaya di rin makapagbaba ng malaki ang small players....they have to get a compromise with the big 3 first....

I remember nung nagbaba ng malaki ang unioil ata..nadulas ang spokesperson nung isa sa big 3....nasabi sa tv na masama loob nila kasi di sila nasabihan nung small player na ganun kalaki ang ibababa....then biglang nag-iba sya ng topic....
this only shows that they get a consensus first before any action will be done....

The Philippine government should flex its muscles and show its political will by rescinding the Oil Deregulation Law. I am not privy on the legalities here, but they should work on something towards this end. It will cause ruffled feathers here and in the international arena.- yes. But, the Big3 will not move out because we are still a market for them, no matter how "insignificant" we are as others have commented.

Oil prices drive the economies of the world, so they should be at a level that's realistic or near to that. Sadly, they're speculative....

I am not blaming anyone, but you see, this is where the government should step in. We need to have government intervention. Talk is cheap,- we need actions.

This is what this useless thread is all about. You complain about this and that...but fuel prices are going down, though not at the rate most of us like. Its harder for big oil to bring prices down since they bought it at higher prices, and their distributors must also make a marginal profit. They have something called an inventory afterall. Instead of squeeling on something you don't have any control on or challenging other posters to a word war...go get a life!

this is exactly the reason why we are angry at the oil companies....when the prices of world crude oil increase, they immediately increase their prices...but when it decrease, they will tell the reason you stated above...they already told before that their purchase is good for 2 weeks...but the world crude oil prices were down for more than 2 weeks now....so it means that they were already able to obtain new supply at a much lower cost....so why aren't they reflecting it in the prices?

as much na ayaw ko na patulan yung thread na ito.. talagang ignore ng iba yung variables that comes into play when pricing gas...

eto, sana hindi na ignore yung variables of cost:

big player: mas madami cost
small player: fighting to survive kaya mas mababa prices.

as ive said sa pervious post ko, kung talagang malaki profit ng big 3, bakit hangang 2 pesos lang kaya ibaba ng small players? and to think small players ni small time advertising wala. 2nd, tiginan niyo ano mas magandang gas station, malamang yung sa big 3 and this cost money to maintain. 3rd, the big 3 must market their product or else risk loosing customers/market share.

yan pa lang kita na sobrang magkaiba points of small players and the big players.

isa pa sinasabi niyo na $65 na lang per barrel ngayon, ano ba sa tingin niyo? araw-araw nagpapadeliver yung mga oil companies? those are for future deliveries, at least 1 month to materialize and shipping, storage, and refining is excluded from that price. so matagal talaga natin mararamdaman yan. siguro mga 2-3 months before those cheap oil will go to the acutal pump stations.

Boycott !! boycott !! boycott !! boycott !!

but why is it that when world price market increase, oil companies increase immediately? why not wait for 2-3 months to increase pagdating ng products ??

i believe that uls already answered that question in another thread.

pero eto yung point, its for their inventory... simple lang... alam na nila way ahead of time kung magkano yung mabibili nila na oil and to still sell the cheap oil they have at current price WILL result to loss. kailangan nila taasan yung price para hindi sila malugi pagparating ng expensive oil.

so does it mean na hindi ito applied sa pag rollback?
