Fuel prices to increase next week amid geopolitical tensions

Motorists should brace for fuel price hikes next week due to escalating geopolitical tensions.

Gasoline prices might increase by approximately P0.10 to P0.20 per liter, while diesel could rise by P0.30 to P0.50 per liter.

Kerosene prices are anticipated to remain unchanged.

The Department of Energy and Jetti Petroleum attributed the adjustments to geopolitical tensions, including Israel's attack on Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, and a Russian drone incursion into Polish airspace.

This would mark the fifth consecutive weekly increase for gasoline prices and the fourth for diesel.

The market also fears new sanctions against Russia, a major oil producer, which could impact global supply.
