The price comparison of petroleum products between the Philippines and other countries have been exposed on the social media.
Nowadays, the increasing prices of basic commodities and grocery products have been the major concern of the Filipino people.
The price hike of petroleum products was also linked to the inflation contributing to the burden of our fellow countrymen.
