MANILA - Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, House Committee on Energy chairman, on Monday said the proposed amendments to the Oil Deregulation Law will ensure fair and transparent pricing of fuel products amid the global supply crunch. In the committee report, Arroyo said a task force composed of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) shall be created to investigate any unreasonable increase in the prices of petroleum products. Arroyo said this is among the strong anti-trust safeguards in the measure to ensure fair competition and prevent cartels and monopolies from dictating prices. "The amendments will prevent any unreasonable price increase, particularly over and above the indicative retail price as determined by the Oil Industry Management Bureau (OIMB) of the Department of Energy," Arroyo said. Under the bill, members of the task force will be tasked with the drafting of rules and guidelines to ensure efficiency, promptness, and eff

"Any large adjustment in oil prices makes it difficult for businesses and consumers to adjust quickly, thereby causing disruptions," Arroyo said in an interview. He said among the main reasons why the oil indus
MANILA - To mitigate the rising prices of petroleum and fuel products, a measure seeking to amend the Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act hurdled committee level at the House of Representatives. The House Committee on Energy, chaired by Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel Arroyo, approved Tuesday, subject to form and style, the substitute bill that would amend Republic Act 8479, or the "Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998". Under the measure, the proposed amendments to RA 8479 include institutionalizing the minimum inventory requirements for petroleum products for purposes of supply security and unbundling the cost of petroleum, among others. In his opening statement, Arroyo said prices of fuel and petroleum have been increasing, triggered by Russia's war on Ukraine. "We are faced with the bigger task of trying to mitigate the rising prices of petroleum and fuel," Arroyo said. In her manifestation, Marikina City Rep. Stella Quimbo proposed that a provisi
