Fuel prices have been skyrocketing for the past months due to the Ukraine-Russia war’s global supply crisis.
Aside from gas prices, basic commodities also made a huge increase in prices brought by the latest increase in the inflation rate.
In May, the Philippine Statistics Office pegged the country’s inflation rate at 5.4%, the highest since November 2018.
Meanwhile, netizens can’t help but react to Licauco’s tweet. While most of them shared their admiration for his “good grades”, there were also those who thought Licauaco was just making fun f the rising gas price situation.
