Transport group PISTON protests against big-time fuel price hike
Various groups, including transport group PISTON, protested against significant increases in fuel pump prices on Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
PISTON president Mody Floranda reiterated calls to junk the oil deregulation law and suspend excise taxes and VAT on petroleum products.
Floranda argued that government subsidies are insufficient given the continued price hikes and dismissed staggered price increases as mere tactics by oil firms.
Protesters also suspect the conflict between Iran and Israel is being exploited to drive up fuel costs.
Members of PISTON, including public utility vehicle drivers and operators from various areas, participated in the rally along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
