MANILA – Motorists and transport operators will face steeper fuel costs this week as the Department of Energy confirmed across-the-board price increases taking effect Tuesday morning.
Diesel prices will climb by P8.82 per liter, marking one of the sharper weekly increases in recent months. Kerosene will rise by P6.47 per liter, while gasoline prices will increase by P4.88 per liter, according to DOE figures.
The successive fuel price hikes have implications for consumer goods pricing and transportation networks throughout the country. Trucking operators and public transport providers typically pass on fuel surcharges following such increases, potentially affecting commuting costs and product prices in local markets.
The DOE regularly adjusts fuel prices on a weekly basis, reflecting global crude oil price movements and foreign exchange fluctuations. Motorists and businesses are advised to monitor official DOE announcements for the latest pricing updates and any further adjustments in coming weeks.
