Gas prices going up, up, up...

Bad news greeted me when i woke up this morning. Gas prices again going up! And with it, surely the prices of basic commodities as well as utilities (water, electricity) will also go up. Sad, bad, terrible news, not just for car owners, but for everyone living in the Philippines. A case of the oil companies getting richer, while the rest of the Filipinos getting poorer. ..tsk tsk tsk... :(
