If you feel like there’ll be no end to the weekly fuel price hikes, you’re not alone. And it looks like you’re not wrong, either.
As reported here by reportr, the Department of Energy (DOE) is expecting even more price increases in June.
“Itong tuloy-tuloy na pagtaas ay may expectation po tayo na mangyayari at mangyayari sa mga susunod na weeks,” said DOE Oil Industry Management Bureau director Rino Abad in an interview on GMA’s Unang Balita. “Wala po tayong nakikitang event ngayon para dumating na siyang mag-o-offset nitong push ng mga events na ito na tuloy-tuloy nagpapa-increase ng mga price.”
