A PROTEST action against oil price hikes and overpricing of petroleum products will be conducted by the Koalisyon ng Progresibong Manggagawa at Mamamayan (KPMM) and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) on Thursday, March 15.

The KPMM has earlier denounced the government’s utter insensitivity to the plight of ordinary Filipinos who face the brunt of weekly oil price increases.

The coalition, through organized multi-sectoral efforts, warned the government of looming “summer storms” to protest government inaction on the people’s clamor to reduce oil prices.

“The Aquino administration has been obviously sleeping on the job.
