00:00We are still here at one of the gas stations here in Camia, Quezon City
00:06because the big-time oil price hike is effective today.
00:11This is big-time because 2 pesos and 70 centavos increase per liter of diesel,
00:172 pesos and 50 centavos increase per liter of kerosene,
00:21and 1 peso and 65 centavos increase per liter of gasoline.
00:26Many oil companies have been implementing this since 6 a.m. a few minutes ago.
00:34And now, we will know the sentiments of some of our motorists
00:40after increasing the price of oil products since 6 a.m.
00:47Hello, sir. Good morning. This is Maris.
00:50What is your name?
00:52Andrew.
00:53I just want to ask your reaction. What are you loading here? Diesel or gasoline?
00:57Diesel.
00:58Diesel. So, diesel is 2 pesos and 70 centavos per liter of kerosene.
01:03So, what is your reaction that the price of kerosene is this high?
01:07For me, I am not affected because I am just getting in.
01:12Oh, I see. But of course, for your company…
01:15Yes, of course.
01:18So, what will be the effect of this if not on your own pocket?
01:23It will be a bit heavy, ma'am.
01:26Yes. What will be discarded so that you can still help your company?
01:34Discarded? Nothing, because if there is traffic, nothing can be done.
01:40Nothing can be done, right?
01:41Nothing can be done.
01:42Okay, take care on your trip, sir. Thank you.
01:47Let's ask one of the riders that we saw loading here earlier.
01:53Good morning. What is your name?
01:57Miguel.
01:58Miguel, you are a rider, right? So, you are picking up passengers.
02:02Yes, ma'am.
02:03You might have already seen the increase in traffic. Did you reach there at 6 a.m.?
02:09Yes, ma'am.
02:10So, you reached there?
02:11Yes, ma'am.
02:12So, at least, somehow, you didn't feel the increase in traffic.
02:15But in the next few days, there will be an increase in the price of gasoline.
02:22So, what is your reaction? Because one peso is P65.
02:24Then, for every liter of gasoline, there will be an increase in traffic.
02:27Well, first of all, of course, for us, MC riders, it will be heavy for us
02:33because a big part of what we earn goes to gas.
02:40So, even now, we really feel the big price of gas.
02:47A big part of what we earn goes to gas.
02:51And the price of massages is not increasing.
02:55So, for us, MC riders, we are affected.
03:00So, what is decreasing in what you are buying?
03:04Because, just like that, the price of oil has increased.
03:08To be honest, because we are saving on the price of buying,
03:13sometimes, instead of eating three times a day,
03:16sometimes, to save, we eat two times a day.
03:20So, we can reduce, in other words, somehow, we can increase our daily expenses.
03:27Aside from reducing the amount of food, what are the other discounts to save?
03:32That's right. Instead of having a snack on the road, I just go home to eat at home.
03:41So, your expenses will be reduced?
03:44Yes. Also, if there are other sidelines, it is better to have a sideline.
03:50But if there is none, you really save.
03:53Alright. Thank you very much, Miguel.
03:55And be careful in your travel and work.
04:00So, those are some of the insights of our MC riders this morning.
04:05We saw how their pockets will be burdened by the new increase in the price of oil.
04:13That's the latest situation.
04:14We are still here in one of the gas stations here in Quezon City.
04:17Let's go back to the studio.
