MANILA, Philippines – The militant transport group Piston (Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operators Nationwide) slammed what it called a “meager” oil price rollback from oil firms and warned of more protest actions in the coming days.

In a statement, Piston national president George San Mateo said the P0.80 per liter rollback in diesel and P0.20 per liter rollback in gasoline prices were small compared to the total increase of P2.70 per liter for diesel and P3.20 per liter for gasoline at the start of the year 2012.
