You know what to do.
MANILA, Philippines - Three oil companies on Friday announced they would raise pump prices early Saturday, radio DZBB reported Friday night.
Again!? When will this stop? This will continue to rise and rise until it gets too ridiculous to purchase oil any more. Eventually, no highway will have a car going along it, not even EDSA.
When the price of oil starts to get too ridiculous, people will resort to the MRT/LRT. Keep in mind, the jeeps, buses, and taxis all require oil as well. Because the price of oil will be too much to bear, they will no longer continue the service. The MRT/LRT will be overcrowded, as if it isn't already. People will no longer be able to arrive anywhere on time.
The solution is to either resort to non-motorized modes of transportation (bicycle), or to expand and create more space for the MRT/LRT. Seeing as Filipinos are too lazy to ride a bike to work/school, and the MRT/LRT will ALWAYS be crowded, business as a whole in the Philippines will plummet until it becomes nearly nonexistent.
Comment please. Thanks.

it's really disturbing that oil prices keep on raising every week. i just hope that it won't go to the point that no car will be seen in edsa.
i think a probable solution to this problem is to remove the vat in oil prices.
