Youth militants protest oil price hikes in Davao

MANILA — Militant youth groups on Friday held a protest action in Davao City following the series of price increases on various oil products.

Series of oil price hikes are being implemented by the three big oil firms (Petron, Shell and Chevron) on Friday, 35 centavos for unleaded gasoline and 50 centavos for regular gasoline, respectively.

These are the 20th oil price increase for this year and the 31st since President Benigno Aquino III took power in June 2010.
