00:16The full story from our Bernard Ferrer.
00:21Before the expected big-time oil price hike, Arian already filled up his tech at a gasoline station along Commonwealth
00:28Avenue in Quezon City.
00:30Compared to other gasoline stations, fuel prices here are still lower.
00:34Diesel costs 57 pesos and 90 centavos per liter.
00:38Regular gasoline is priced at 55 pesos and 70 centavos.
00:42Regular gasoline is priced at 55 pesos and 70 centavos per liter.
00:47While premium gasoline at 56 pesos and 78 centavos per liter.
00:52Full tank ko na po ito. Pero usually po ang full tank ko is around 400.
00:56400.
00:57Siguro bukas, kung magpapapull tank pa ako bukas, siguro around 600 na siya.
01:01Because of this, Arian now chooses to prioritize only essential trips, such as going to work.
01:08Meanwhile, Vic is counting coins as his budget was not enough for a full tank.
01:13Kasi yung kikitain namin, magpupunta doon sa diesel na lang.
01:16Kung baka makarecover kami, nakaapo na, gabi na.

01:24Angelina, the other hand, is also preparing to tighten her budget,
01:28especially if a fair increase comes along with the rise in fuel prices.
01:31Malaking epekto po talaga yan. Kasi since araw-araw yung commute.
01:36She hopes the government will provide sufficient assistance to commuters, such as free rides.
01:41According to the Land Transportation, Franchising and Regulatory Board, or LTFRB,
01:45the earlier proposed provisional fair increase may be revised.
01:49According to LTFRB chairman Vigor Mendoza II,
01:52their initial recommendation was based on oil price at 60 pesos per liter.
01:56However, some reports say that fuel prices at gasoline station may reach up to 80 pesos per liter.

02:06to implement a 2.5 billion peso fuel subsidy, or Pantawid Pasada,
02:11for PUB drivers with a price of Dubai crude in the world market
02:14breaching $80 per barrel since Wednesday last week.
02:19Meanwhile, the Department of Energy and the Department of Information and Communications Technology
02:23have launched the eGov BH Complaints Center to strengthen monitoring
02:28and ensure fair service and adequate fuel supply for Filipinos.
02:32Complaints that can be filed through the platform include fuel hoarding,
02:37unauthorized price increases, and other illegal activities in the sale of petroleum products.
