Yappler: Why should young people care about the global oil crisis?

It’s been almost two months since the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran, and the effects have quickly and severely crept into everyday life, especially as oil prices skyrocketed to record highs over the past few weeks. 

For many young people, the global oil crisis can feel overwhelming, or worse, easy to tune out of.

In this episode of Yappler, Rappler multimedia reporter Eirene Manatlao and community growth and development specialist Aidan Bernales slow things down to reflect on their fieldwork as they spoke with jeepney drivers and water delivery drivers, read stories from social media and Rappler app users, and offer their hot takes on why young people should choose not to look away from this issue.
