This was labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno's statement today, as it responded to Pres. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III's order to government agencies to review the law deregulating the oil industry, amidst widespread protests against the high and still-increasing prices of petroleum products.
"Halatang gusto ng gobyernong Aquino na patuloy na hayaan ang overpricing ng kartel, ang pagkolekta ng pahirap na VAT sa langis, at pagpapatupad ng Oil Deregulation Law," sabi niya.
