Is your daily expenses increasing? Are you paying more than you supposed to pay? Does the local government do anything to suppress the hikes? What are the reasons that organisations give for increasing prices?

Yeah they're increasing a lot it makes the Filipinos dizzy. From foodstuffs to gas, everything's increasing. I don't really know what our government is doing about it but I wish we could see changes soon...

I am also hoping there will be changes however, the prices are reviewed within a short period like within 3 months, the prices of transport will be reviewed and blah, blah, why can't the government introduce a standardized fee?

Because there will be a lot of turmoil if that happens. If the standardized prices are two high, the common people will go on strike. If they're too low, the private companies might go bankrupt and they might boycott their operations. There should be an economic study in order to stabilize the prices but there isn't one that's pushing through right now.

I don't think that by studying the situation is of any use, because everybody including the government is crying for money. So, the best way is to check on the government for any conspiracy issues.
