MANILA, Philippines — Two local delivery service providers are relying on private oil firms to provide fuel discounts for their riders amid continuous oil price hikes.

 

Riders' advocacy group Kapatiran sa Dalawang Gulong (Kagulong), composed of 3,000 members nationwide, said this measure will help in tiding over the fuel price increases, but added that full support is guaranteed if the Philippine government steps in to suspend fuel excise taxes and roll out subsidies for the sector.

 

This week, domestic oil firms announced yet another round of fuel price hikes driven by tight global supply. Gasoline rose by P0.9 per liter, diesel increased by P0.8 per liter and kerosene went up by P0.75 per liter for the ninth straight week of 2022.
