Retailers group cuts LPG prices by P1/kilo
Independent retailers of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) on Thursday slashed product prices by P1 per kilo. LPG Marketers Association (LPG/MA) party-list Rep. Arnel Ty said the P1 rollback would translate into a P11-markdown per tank since a regular cylinder of LPG weighs 11 kilos. Last May 16, the group, composed of independent retailers of cooking gas, also shed P1 per kilogram off their prices. LPG/MA memb erbrands include Island Gas, Regasco Gas, Pinnacle Gas, Cat Gas, M-Gas, Omni Gas and Nation Gas. Ty attributed the continued price cuts to the downtrend in world contract prices of LPG. As such, he said consumers can look forward to more price reductions on LPG products, possibly reaching up to P5 per kilo. philippine news agency

SEVERAL Catholic bishops have favored the challenge of Chief Justice Renato Corona for all lawmakers to publicly disclose their statement of assets and liabilities. Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo said public leaders should take the challenge and sign a waiver to also open their dollar and peso bank accounts if they have nothing hide. “Those accusing him should also set the example by disclosing their dollar accounts,” Pabillo told church-run Radio Veritas Wednesday. “That’s why the challenge of the Chief Justice is good for other lawmakers to show their assets.” “There is really something wrong when they want a person to disclose his dollar accounts but his accusers refuse to do the same or don’t want to be transparent,” he said.
