House Committee on Commerce and Tourism Chairman Joseph Leepan T. Guerrero said he will bring up the fuel price increase to his colleagues and the Attorney General’s Office because the price freeze directive that Gov. Ralph DLG Torres issued in March should still be in effect.
“I’ve never seen a new directive from the governor lifting the price freeze,” he added.
When the price freeze took effect on March 5, the regular gas price was $3.93 a gallon while supreme cost $4.38 a gallon.
Guerrero said the administration or the AG’s office must explain to consumers how the price freeze is implemented.
