Week after week, fuel prices shoot up like clockwork. In just recent cycles, pump prices have jumped by around 70% per liter in a single week. The excuse is always the same: global markets, foreign conflicts, unstable supply chains. Under the Oil Deregulation Law, companies are given the freedom to adjust prices, and they do it without hesitation, especially when it means raising costs. The moment international prices tick upward, local pumps follow almost instantly. But when do those same global prices drop? Suddenly, the urgency disappears. Rollbacks crawl in late, often just centavos at a time, almost as if delay itself is part of the profit.
And while they hesitate, everything else rises without mercy. Basic goods follow suit, rice climbing past โฑ50 per kilo in many markets, canned goods and essentials inch higher week by week. Small businesses adjust just to stay alive. Workers who are already underpaid and overstretched are forced to absorb it all, tightening budgets that were already suffocating. To make matters worse, the people who are directly affected by this phenomenon were forced to earn less each day with fares staying the same. Itโs not a ripple effect. Itโs a full collapse of pressure, and it always lands on the same people.
And still, weโre told to understand.
Because apparently, this is just how the system works. Apparently, this is โnormalโ as our own president said last March 18, โeverything normal, no need to hoard.โ But nothing about this feels natural anymore. The pattern is too clean, too consistent, too convenient for those who benefit from it. Prices go up, statements are released, concern is performed, and then thereโs nothing. No real intervention. No structural change. Just another round in a cycle that never seems to break.
This โmoney gameโ isnโt subtle. Itโs insulting. The players at the top donโt just win; they control the pace, rewrite the rules, and decide when the game even starts or ends. They hide behind polished briefings and economic jargon but strip it all down and what you see is something much uglier: a system that profits from pressure, from delay, from the quiet suffering of the public.
They say, โbe patient.โ They say, โglobal factors are at play.โ They say, โthereโs nothing we can do.โ But how many times do we have to hear the same script before we stop pretending itโs the truth? Because at this point, it doesnโt sound like explanation but more of a deflection.
This isnโt just incompetence. It feels deliberate. It feels calculated. A system that lies when it explains, cheats when it adjusts, and plays on both sides while demanding that ordinary people foot the bill. Every hike feels immediate, aggressive, unavoidable. Every rollback feels reluctant, diluted, almost performative.
And thatโs what makes it so infuriating, not just the rising prices, but the audacity to frame all of this as fairness. As if this were an equal game. As if the public ever had a real chance to win.
Because in truth, the outcome has always been decided. The winners stay protected, the losers keep paying, and the cycle continues every time. Louder, harsher, more exhausting each time.
