00:00 The camera is continuously studying the suspension of the fuel excise tax.
00:04 According to ACT-CIS representative Erwin Tulfo,
00:07 their recommendation is only a temporary suspension
00:10 to help the affected by the rising oil prices.
00:16 However, Anya, this still needs to be balanced,
00:19 especially with their assessment that the government will lose almost Php 15 billion.
00:25 Meanwhile, the oil companies will be held by the lawmakers again.
00:30 They are hoping that the companies will give their recommendation
00:35 and the Congress will put it in the executive branch
00:38 to base its decision.
00:42 There was a meeting last week or this week,
00:46 Speaker Romualdez and the oil players,
00:49 to discuss what can be done.
00:52 Let us all sacrifice. Motorists are sacrificing.
00:56 The government is sacrificing for the excise you're talking about.
01:01 What is their sacrifice? They are all greedy.
01:04 This is a government study.
01:06 We are just suggesting this upon the approval of the president.
01:11 Your government is really working hard
01:13 to reduce the poverty of the people.
01:16 The government knows this.
