Diesel, kerosene prices drop; gasoline rises on April 28

Oil firms will implement fuel price adjustments on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, with diesel and kerosene posting rollbacks while gasoline edges higher. The Department of Energy reported a minimum diesel rollback of P12.94 per liter, kerosene by P15.71 per liter, and a gasoline increase of P0.53 per liter.

MANILA, Philippines — Oil firms will implement price adjustments effective 6 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. This marks the third consecutive week of changes following rollbacks that began on April 14, after sustained increases since late February driven by Middle East tensions.

The Department of Energy said the minimum rollback for diesel is P12.94 per liter, while kerosene will decrease by P15.71 per liter. Gasoline prices are set to increase by P0.53 per liter.

Companies including UniOil, Shell, and SeaOil announced: gasoline +P0.53/L, diesel -P12.94/L, and kerosene -P15.71/L for Shell. Estimates are based on DOE NCR prevailing retail prices for April 21-27, 2026.

These shifts come as Middle East conflicts have persisted since March, according to reports.

Oil firms confirmed price rollbacks effective 6 a.m. Tuesday, April 14, matching Department of Energy projections: diesel down P20.89 to P23 per liter, gasoline P4.43 to P4.50, and kerosene P8.50. The cuts end surges of over P100 on diesel since late February's Middle East crisis. President Marcos suspended excise taxes on LPG and kerosene, while a jeepney subsidy launches.

Fuel prices in the Philippines are expected to decline again this week, though on a smaller scale, according to Department of Energy estimates. Diesel could fall by P8 to P10 per liter, gasoline by around P0.40 per liter or rise up to P1 per liter, and kerosene by P11 per liter.

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.

Following initial DOE warnings earlier this week, local oil retailers in the Philippines will implement double-digit fuel price increases of P17 to P24 per liter starting March 10, amid ongoing Middle East tensions. President Marcos plans to seek emergency powers to cut excise taxes.

The Department of Energy stated that March 9 is the final day for capped fuel prices, with adjustments taking effect on March 10. Several gas stations reported supply shortages from the rush of customers. This occurs amid global oil price hikes due to escalating Middle East conflicts.

South African petrol prices will rise by R3.06 per litre to R23.25 inland from midnight on 1 April, while diesel reaches a record R26.11 per litre after a R7.51 increase. The hike stems from global oil prices exceeding $100 per barrel amid the Iran war and a weakened rand. A temporary R3 per litre reduction in the fuel levy cushions the impact.

Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz announced increases of $370 per liter in 93-octane gasoline and $580 in diesel, effective from Thursday, March 26, due to the international oil price surge from the Iran conflict. The government also activated palliative measures, including freezing Transantiago fares until year-end and subsidies for taxi drivers. Quiroz justified the moves as necessary to align local prices with international levels and safeguard public finances.
