Following the three-consecutive oil price hikes after new year, Bayan Muna held a protest in Petron gasoline station in Philcoa, Quezon City today, Jan. 20.

“This is a continuous merciless attack on consumers who are already burdened with multiple price hikes at the start of 2025,” Former Bayan Muna Congressman Carlos Isagani Zarate said in a statement.

The group called for the removal of VAT on oil products and electricity and regulation of oil industry.
