                    [Title] => Oil firms accused of overpricing
                    [Summary] => Oil companies may have been overpricing their products amid the spate of pump price increases over the past two weeks, businessman and consumer advocate Raul T. Concepcion claimed yesterday.


In a press briefing, the chairman of the Consumer Oil and Price Watch (COPW) said based on their data, oil firms — mostly the smaller players – still have an over-recovery for gasoline.

                    [Summary] => Two major oil firms, Caltex Philippines and Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp., and minor industry player Seaoil Petroleum Inc. will increase today their pump prices by 50 centavos per liter.


The increase is a result of rising world market prices of crude oil, they said.


Fernando Martinez, president of the Independent Philippine Petroleum Corporations Association (IPPCA), said early last week that they expect their members to effect an oil price hike because of rising crude prices in the region.

IPPCA is a group consisting of 12 companies engaged in the trading and retailing of fuel and other petroleum products. 


IPPCA executive director Hector Fajardo said the group is sympathetic to the plight of the jeepney and bus drivers, noting that the skyrocketing cost of operations coupled with a freeze in fare hike for the past four years have been detrimental to the transport industry’s subsistence.
