Last night, we took an FX ride to Megamall and Van paid P20. The driver asked for P4 more. So we’re like “okay…” I think we’re just out of the news loop these days.
The FX taxi drivers in Megamall area have increased their minimum fare from P10 to P12. I don’t know if the entire of Metro Manila has followed suit. After all, who can blame them when gasoline prices kept on rising on a weekly basis? The latest I heard it’s already P54 a liter. My brother, who never complained about his gas expenses, started to feel the bite of the almost uncontrollable oil price hikes. Last weekend, he took the LRT and MRT to work.
The Philippines does not have a monopoly on the oil price crisis. Everyone in the world is complaining about the rising oil prices. No one is exempted whether you’re sipping champagne in one of those Las Vegas hotels or fishing in one of those swamps in a terrorist haven situated in the Far East. It would be also unfair that taxi drivers in Manila blame it on an entity like Bush. Why not Gloria?
