Oil companies raised fuel prices again on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, with diesel hikes up to P19.80 per liter. The increases stem from ongoing US-Iran tensions and global oil supply disruptions. This marks the 13th to 15th consecutive weekly rise.

MANILA, Philippines — Oil companies announced further increases in gasoline, diesel, and kerosene prices effective 6 a.m. on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
