00:00Let's find out the reaction of the motorists to the new oil price hike today.
00:05We have a report from Ryan Lisigues live. Ryan?
00:12You know, Bien, most of the people we talked to earlier,
00:15the jeepney driver and the taxi driver,
00:18it seems like they're running out of gas.
00:20Somehow, they're able to earn some money
00:23because of the continuous increase in the price of gasoline.
00:25Aside from the continuous increase in the price of gasoline, Bien,
00:28they're also causing a lot of problems to the traffic and to the passengers.
00:35Some jeepney and taxi drivers are now suffering
00:38because of the continuous increase in the price of their oil products.
00:41Cesar, for example,
00:42he's almost running out of money for his family.
00:46His problem is where will he get the money to buy food for his family.
00:51Because of the increase in the price of gasoline,
00:54he's almost reaching the boundary of the jeepney
00:57where he earns all day long.
01:01Today, Cesar is more nervous because it's almost 6 p.m.
01:05He's not yet alone in his line here in Visayas Avenue.
01:10What can we buy?
01:12The increase in the price of gasoline is increasing.
01:17We have no money.
01:19If we lower the price of gasoline,
01:23we, the drivers, will be able to make up for it.
01:27Because of the increase in the price of gasoline.
01:31The taxi driver, Nolly,
01:33is also thinking about how to make up for the discount.
01:36He's only allowed to drive for one day.
01:39His boundary has reached the point of no return.
01:44It's really hard.
01:46The price of gasoline is increasing.
01:50The price of gasoline is decreasing.
01:53The price of gasoline is increasing.
01:55It's driving us crazy.
01:57And because he's always drunk,
01:59he can't remit anything to his wife
02:01to buy food for their daily needs.
02:04But Nolly's problem is not yet over
02:07because he says his problem will get worse
02:09in the coming days when school starts.
02:13I don't have anything.
02:15But since Friday, Saturday,
02:20Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
02:22now it's Tuesday.
02:23I only gave my wife P500.
02:25So why aren't you complaining?
02:27I don't know.
02:29Because there's no income yet.
02:31We talked about it.
02:33How about the income?
02:35The kids are going to school.
02:36According to the DOE,
02:38the ongoing tension in the Middle East
02:40and the unexpected withdrawal
02:42of U.S. crude inventories
02:44are just a few of the reasons
02:46for the continuous increase in the price of gasoline.
02:49Another visible reason
02:51is the summer fuel demand for gasoline.
02:54Because of the new oil price adjustment,
02:57the year-to-date increase in the price of gasoline
03:00will reach 10.85 cents,
03:02while the 9.05 for diesel
03:07and 35 cents for oil.
03:09This is the 4th week
03:11that the price of oil has increased.
03:18For our fellow countrymen
03:20who didn't get gas yesterday,
03:22which is bad news
03:24because most of the gasoline stations,
03:26particularly here in Metro Manila,
03:28have already increased their prices.
03:30The truth is, this gasoline station
03:32where we are now,
03:34was 6 days ago when they implemented
03:36the increase in the price of oil.
03:38That's it.
03:39Thank you very much, Ryan Lisigues.
