After EO839 or Executive Order 839 (which pegged prices of basic commodities in calamity-hit areas) has been lifted last Monday. Gasoline prices are now back to the hands of the oil companies, now the transport group Pasang Masda will be asking for a P0.50 provisional fare incrase if the price of diesel goes up to P35 per liter.

Pasang Masda national coordinator Rogel Fernandez said they are now monitoring fuel prices since the government has lifted the Executive Order 839, let me tell you… what’s new?

Did the filipino people forgot that last year we had a soaring sky heaven gas price reaching in the price range of P55-P65 a liter?

“Oil companies have imposed a hike on their petroleum products, with diesel retailing at an average of P30 after the Palace lifted EO 839. Prior the lifting of the order, diesel was sold at P28 per liter.”

Trust me this is a little better year for gasoline/diesel prices.
