SALUNGGUHIT

Sole Recourse

By Jasper Almirante/ Bulatlat

The Oil Deregulation Law, which government claimed would benefit the people by promoting competition in the oil industry, has favored only the big oil companies which have not been prevented from acting like a cartel. Government claims to be powerless in dealing with relentless oil price hikes numbering more than 60 since the passage of the Oil Deregulation Law in 1996. In such a situation, the transport sector – heavily affected by oil price hikes – has no recourse except to go on strike.

Salungguhit literally means to underline; figuratively, to underscore or highlight.
