Many things are happening in our country. Can't withstand the php60.00 per litter cost of gasoline. I've read in the newspaper that the revenue of the government is increasing because of the VAT imposed on crude oil.hmmm

revenues of the government are increasing while the peopleare suffering and then the greedy people in the position are basking themselves with richness. This is the reason why our country is poor and in poverty and are being laughed at by other countries who are obviously disciplined and strategic with their oil prices.

The increase in oil price has definitely affected most if not all people in the Philippines. Unfortunately, much as we want to lower it, there is really nothing we can do. Whatever government says about it doesn't change the fact that the poor are becoming poorer each day and the rich getting richer. What can we do? There is very little or nothing that we can do but to accept it, adjust and go with the flow. After all, we are not called Filipinos for nothing. We boast of our resiliency and the ease of adapting to a new and difficult situation. This is the best time to prove it.

Oil prices were never not rising. It is always rising and it will always be rising. Its just that all people in the Philippines are affected by that. I have a job but its not a stable one so it is very difficult to predict what is going to happen in the future for me and my family.
