ADVERTISEMENTFor the fifth week in a row, oil companies in the country increased pump prices. Prices of diesel, gasoline and kerosene went up by 65 centavos per liter starting 6 a.m. on Tuesday. Prices of food, especially rice, fish, meat and vegetables, and nonalcoholic beverages rose 8.5 percent. Prices of gasoline have risen 26 times but have fallen 10 times for a net increase of P11.47. Batocabe said the people had been complaining about the rising prices of goods because “they were used” to the low level of inflation during the Aquino administration.
