"The Independent Oil Price Review Committee bared itself as a co-conspirator of the Aquino administration in defending oil companies' greed," commented GWP Rep. Emmi De Jesus on the IOPRC report that declared oil companies not guilty of overpricing and that the Oil Deregulation Law is working.
"How can the IOPRC oil companies' profit be reasonable when they operate as a cartel that dictates the rise and fall of oil prices without so much as a squeak from government? How can the Oil Deregulation Law be working when it escalates the suffering of the poor? The Oil Deregulation Law is a license for the oil cartel to increase oil prices with impunity and to swindle the Filipino people daily," added De Jesus.
"Scrapping the Oil Deregulation Law provides the much needed breathing space for the financially burdened Filipino families as they face the daily battles of joblessness, landlessness and low wages. But the government must implement a strategic and permanent solution through nationalizing the oil industry. That is, if it is truly, a government for the people," ended De Jesus. ###
