Fuel prices to increase for third straight week

Motorists can anticipate a third consecutive weekly increase in fuel prices starting Tuesday, January 21, 2025.

Estimated price adjustments include an increase of P1.60 to P1.80 per liter for gasoline, P2.60 to P2.80 per liter for diesel, and P2.30 to P2.50 per liter for kerosene.

The primary reason for this price hike is the imposition of new US sanctions on Russian oil, which has caused global crude prices to rise.

According to Assistant Director Rodela Romero of the DOE Oil Industry Management Bureau, oil prices increased by $3 to $5 from last Friday to Monday.

She noted that on Thursday, diesel and kerosene prices rose by $2.

These sanctions are affecting Asian countries such as India and China, which are major buyers of Russian oil.

The Philippines imports finished products from China, which could be impacted by these sanctions.
