Inaasahang muling bababa ang presyo ng diesel sa doble na digit susunod na linggo

Naghanda na ng muling pagbaba ng presyo ng diesel sa P17 hanggang P19 bawat litro at gasolina sa P2 hanggang P3 bawat litro ang mga motorista sa susunod na linggo dahil sa patuloy na pagkakahold ng ceasefire sa Middle East. Ayon sa isang source sa industriya pagkatapos ng apat na araw ng trading sa Mean of Platts Singapore, posibleng bababa pa ang presyo ng diesel sa ibaba ng P130 bawat litro. Epektibo ito simula April 21.

Nagpatuloy ang pagbababa ng war premium sa presyo ng langis dahil sa pagpapagaan ng tensyon sa Middle East, kabilang ang 10-day ceasefire sa pagitan ng Israel at Lebanon. Sinabi rin ni US President Donald Trump na inaasahan na ang deal sa Iran sa lalong madaling panahon sa talks na pinamagitan ng Pakistan.

Noong nakaraang linggo, ipinatupad ng mga oil firm ang rollback na kalkulado ng gobyerno, na nagbaba ng diesel sa P20.89, gasolina sa P4.43, at kerosene sa P8.50 bawat litro. Sa Metro Manila, umabot na sa halos P147 ang diesel at P116 ang gasolina bawat litro ayon sa Department of Energy.

Ayon kay Energy Secretary Sharon Garin, hindi na babalik sa P60 o P50 bawat litro ang presyo sa lalong madaling panahon dahil sa pinsala sa energy infrastructure sa Middle East. "I don’t want to be a downer, but we owe it to the public to be realistic," aniya sa online show ng The STAR.

Samantala, naglabas na ng Executive Order 114 si President Marcos na nag-suspend ng excise tax sa LPG at kerosene sa tatlong buwan, na nagpapababa ng P3.36 kada kilo sa LPG at P5.65 kada litro sa kerosene. Hindi kasama ang diesel at gasolina rito.

The government offers a one-time P5,000 subsidy to assist them, though some say it is insufficient.
