MANILA, Philippines - Members of the militant transport group Piston will march to the head office of one of the big oil firms, Petron, in Mandaluyong City  to protest its price rollback.

Piston members will troop to the Petron main office on San Miguel St., St.Francis Street gate, Ortigas Center around 10:30 a.m.
 
"Pag magtataas ang laki pero barat mag-rolbak," Piston national president George San Mateo said.
 
San Mateo noted that the oil company has recently cut the price of its diesel product by P.45 per liter and its gasoline product by P.55 per liter.
 
He said the rollback is just for show in time for the upcoming 3rd year anniversary of President Benigno Aquino III in office and his fourth State of the Nation Address on July 22.
 
He added that after the President's SONA, the public can expect Petron and the other two large oil firms--Chevron, Shell-- to jack up prices of petroleum products. 
 
"Pero pag natapos yan (SONA) doble bawi uli ang Big 3 ng sunud-sunod na malaking pagtaas," San Mateo said.
