Sharp fuel price rollbacks set for Tuesday in Philippines

Fuel prices in the Philippines will see another round of rollbacks on Tuesday, April 21, led by Shell Pilipinas with cuts deeper than initial estimates. The changes take effect at 6 a.m. as Middle East conflict pressures ease.

Shell Pilipinas announced cuts of P24.94 per liter for diesel, P3.41 per liter for gasoline, and P2 per liter for kerosene, effective 6 a.m. Tuesday. These reductions surpass earlier industry projections of P17 to P19 for diesel and P2 to P3 for gasoline.

The move extends last week's price relief, driven by diminishing pressures from the Middle East conflict. Estimates draw from Department of Energy benchmarks for the National Capital Region from April 14-20 and Shell's announcement.

Actual retail prices may vary by brand, station, and location, per the projected NCR pump prices after the rollback.

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.

Updated industry estimates project even larger diesel cuts of P24 to P26 per liter and gasoline P2.50 to P3.50 per liter starting April 21, up from earlier P17-P19 projections, as the global oil war premium continues to unwind—extending relief from the April 14 rollbacks amid the 2026 fuel crisis.

Oil companies in the Philippines began implementing steep fuel price cuts on Tuesday, June 2, with diesel falling by P9.26 per liter. The Department of Energy set the reductions for the week of June 2 to 8.

Oil companies implemented major fuel price hikes effective April 7, pushing diesel prices past P140 to P150 per liter in several areas. The increases stem from volatility in global crude markets reacting to Middle East conflict. These mark historic highs despite staggered adjustments.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. urged Southeast Asian nations to activate and test their fuel-sharing pact, citing vulnerabilities exposed by the Middle East conflict for import-dependent economies. The Department of Energy said another round of fuel rollbacks remains possible next week, though officials cautioned against assuming the downtrend will hold amid global oil market volatility. DOE also ordered fuel firms to report storage capacities to prepare for disruptions.

Despite Philippine officials securing safe passage assurances through the Strait of Hormuz from Tehran, fuel prices in Metro Manila remained elevated on April 4 amid lingering effects of the Iran war—following President Marcos' March 24 national energy emergency declaration.
