Liquefied Petroleum Gas shortage

I am also one of the retailer of Liquefied Petroleum Gas since 1997. Throughout those years deliveries were smooth and there was no problem at all. It started since December 2008 when we retailers experienced the shortage of LPG supply. Wondering why there are no more deliveries from our dealers because if you watch tv news, the Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes always insisting that there is an enough supply Liquefied Petroleum Gas for household and business needs. I could really feel the hardship of consumers especially household when their cylinder is empty .
From news papers today , Reyes said that Major Oil Companies are set to import the cooking gas early this month . So there is no reason to panic. And promised to work together to eradicate illegal dealers using unbranded cylinders. And they will file a case against those engaged in trade malpractice. These are the groups have been using unsafe cylinders and hoarding causing panic among buyers. There are illegal refillers who used known brands retailers but they don't follow safety standard and and they don't fill the cylinder with right weight LPG. I do hope they really work for it because I myself found unsafe cylinders when i was in this small business and advising my costumers not to buy LPG which is unbranded and rusty cylinders. These are not safe and possibility to explode easily causing fire.

Ayan, paano nalang kaya kung ang karamihan ng mga sasakyan sa Pilipinas ay nagpa-convert na sa LPG (from of gasoline at diesel); di ba 'yan ang ipino-promote last year nu'ng pataas nang pataas ang presyo ng mga oil?

LPG na nga ang nagpapatakbo sasasakyan mo, kinakapos naman ang suplay ngayon. Huhumnn. [Plus delikado pa siguro kapag LPG, kapag mabangga ang sasakyan, baka madaling sumabog!]

Meron ba talagang shortage Nay Belen? O tinatago lang ng mga selfish na tindahan? I've been reading about this sa online Phil newspapers and I cannot believe na may shortage. Ngayon pa na bumaba na yung presyo ng langins?

Hopefully maayos na to kasi ang daming affected sa atin eh...

Salamat po sa dalaw Nay Belen...
