Relief needed now
President Duterte last week convened military and other high-ranking officials for a special meeting on the potential impact of the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the country, particularly on fuel prices. But instead of immediate solutions to stop the sustained increase in pump prices of petroleum products, what emerged were courses of action that will take years to implement, save for the P2.5-billion Pantawid Pasada program and a P500-million fuel discount for farmers and fisherfolk recommended by the Department of Energy (DOE).
The highlight of what acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles announced was Malacañang’s appeal to Congress to rev
The review of the oil deregulation law to empower the government to meddle in pricing and supply of petroleum products to protect consumers from unnecessary spikes in fuel prices, and the inclusion of nuclear power in the energy mix to hopefully bring down electricity prices are laudable efforts many years down the road and these are best tackled by the administration to be elected this May. Meantime, as the country’s economic managers meet today to discuss rising fuel prices, it is hoped that the government could come up with measures to help alleviate troubled consumers’ plight now.
OPINION
EDITORIAL – Running on empty
Despite the de-escalation to COVID Alert Level 1 in Metro Manila and several other areas at the start of the month, the rebound of leisure travel has been slow. Players in the food industry, especially operators of karinderyas or micro food stalls and ambulant vendors, are also complaining about much narrowed profit margins even as they are allowed to resume operations at full capacity.

EDITORYAL – Dumadagsa na rin ang mga kawatan
Mula nang isailalim sa pinaluwag na Alert Level 1 ang Metro Manila at 38 lugar, dumagsa na ang mga tao sa malls para mag-shopping, dagsa rin ang mga tao sa parke, beaches at iba pang mga pasyalan. Marami na ring tao sa Divisoria at Quiapo para mamili. Marami nang kumakain sa mga restaurant. Sa mga darating na araw, tiyak na marami pang tao ang aapaw dahil patuloy na sa pagbaba ang kaso ng COVID-19. Inaasahan na ngayong Marso ay magiging 500 na lamang ang maitatalang kaso sa bawat araw.

Hindi lang mga Salisi Gang ang sumasalakay ngayon kundi pati na rin mga holdaper, snatchers at mandurukot. Dagsa na sila kung saan maraming tao. Kailangang paigtingin ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang pagbabantay para maproteksiyunan ang mamamayan laban sa mga kawatan. Unti-unti nang nawawala ang COVID-19 at mga kawatan naman ang sumasalakay ngayon. Dapat mag-ingat ang mamamayan.
