Fuel price hikes to continue–DOE


Production cuts in major oil exporter Saudi Arabia again pushed local oil companies to raise the pump prices of petroleum products for the sixth week in a row on Tuesday, with prices climbing by up to P2.50 per liter.

OPINION

PNP reforms not good enough​​


The PNP must lead by example by showing that the law also applies to their own ranks. As long as the public thinks the PNP is protecting its own, its rogue image will never be repaired and trust will be withheld. The bad eggs in the organization will continue their errant ways, knowing they can always get off lightly.
