INDEPENDENT OIL PRICE
REVIEW COMMITTEE (IOPRC)
REVIEW COMMITTEE (IOPRC)
Participant “COMMENTARY”
A “TOOTHLESS” COMMITTEE. . .???

| Leon Estrella Peralta-Founding Chairman of ANTI-TRAPO MOVEMENT of the Philippines expressing his views and opinions about neutralizing the alleged Oil Cartel during the consultative meeting conducted by the Independent Oil Price Review Committee (IOPRC), DOE Compound April 2, 2012
On April 2, 2012, IOPRC on their consultative agenda, had invited several
non-government organizations (NGOs) to openly discussed related matters limited
only to determine on whether or not there exists manipulative pricing scheme being undertaken by
the Oil Players to their profit advantage.
Of course, all the attendees said an overwhelming “YES” and postulated
various but interrelated support opinions to their affirmative answers on the alleged existence of a “Profit Centered” oil price manipulation
scheme being covertly undertaken by the Oil Players.
It was surprising to note, during the open
discussion, IOPRC admitted that they have no subpoena power to compel the Oil
Players to submit all their pertinent support documents relative to their pricing formula(s) of
their fuel and fuel products. Their
aforesaid admission is tantamount to apparent self declaration that IOPRC is a “TOOTHLESS”
Committee.
In view of the foregoing, what is the relevance of a “TOOTHLESS” Committee doing just a mere review of a very
important pressing “SOCIAL ISSUE?” Virtually, it is a “KID GLOVES” treatment applied by Malacanang’s alter ego, the Department
of Energy (DOE) to the alleged “Oil
Price Manipulators.”
It is incumbent upon Malacanang to show to the “PEOPLE”
that they are so serious about the matter so as to erase the public perception
that, there seems to exist an alleged “anomalous
conspiracy between Malacanang and the Oil Players.” Relative
to the aforesaid, obviously, the regulatory provisions of the “Oil Deregulation Law” (RA 8479, Sections 11-15)
must be used to unearth what appeared to be an “Oil Cartel” among the Oil
Players. The DOE-DOJ Task Force must be put into effect and action as mandated
by the said regulatory provisions of the Oil Deregulation Law and should not
waste its time and money in a seemingly “toothless”
IOPRC.
The attendees, almost all are members of CAOPI (Coalition Against Oil Price Increases),
are clamoring for “a thorough Investigation and not just a plain and simple
Review.”
JUST
AND EQUITABLE INVESTIGATION BY THE DOE-DOJ TASK FORCE MANDATED BY THE REGULATORY
PROVISIONS OF THE OIL DEREGULATION LAW IS A MUST UNDER SUCH PREMISES . . . .
. .
MALACANANG SHOULD POSITIVELY ACT NOW!!!
WILL THEY? OR WILL THEY NOT?
POLITICAL WILL?
OR
**“POLITICAL ILL-WILL”?
A challenge to P-NOY’s presidency!!!
