Hinikayat ng ilang kongresista si Pangulong Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, na gamitin ang kapangyarihan nito para tugunan ang lumalalang problema sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng mga produktong petrolyo.
Nitong Miyerkules, nanawagan si House Minority leader Danilo Suarez sa pamahalaang Aquino, na pag-isipan ang posisyon nito tungkol sa mungkahing suspindihin ang pagsingil ng value added tax (VAT) sa langis para maibaba ang presyo ng naturang produkto.
“Whenever the free market clearly and consistently hurts more people than it helps, this is called market failure, and this undeniably applies to the current situation when oil companies are enjoying unbridled profits, government is raking in enormous VAT collections on those windfall profits, but hunger and poverty increasing, prices are going up and jobs are going down,” paliwanag ng lider ng minorya sa Kamara.
Nais naman ni Zambales Rep. Milagros Magsaysay na malaman kung ano ang mga planong inilatag ng Department of Energy upang tugunan ang problema at matulungan ang publiko.
Binatikos niya ang desisyon ng Malacanang huwag galawin ang VAT sa langis samantalang ang pondong ginagamit sa conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme, ay kinukuha naman sa inutang sa Asian Development Bank (ADB).
