Fuel prices to increase again Tuesday

Fuel prices are set to increase again starting Tuesday, April 1, 2025, with gasoline prices rising by P1.40 per liter and diesel and kerosene by P1.20 per liter.

Major oil companies including Shell Pilipinas, Cleanfuel, Seaoil, Petro Gazz, and Caltex have announced these price adjustments.

Analysts attribute these increases to developments in the United States, such as tariff wars and sanctions on Iran, as well as OPEC+ plans for oil production cuts.

The Department of Energy - Oil Industry Management Bureau had previously forecast substantial increases due to factors like US sanctions on Iran, potential tariffs on Venezuelan crude oil, and ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Last week, fuel prices saw an increase of P1.10 per liter for gasoline and P0.40 per liter for diesel and kerosene.

As of March 25, 2025, the year-to-date net adjustment for gasoline and diesel is an increase of P3.25 per liter, while kerosene has seen a net decrease of P0.30 per liter.
