由于中东地缘政治风险重燃，石油公司于5月19日上调了汽油和柴油价格，同时下调了煤油价格。菲律宾能源部设定了最高调整限额以稳定市场。
能源部长莎朗·加林（Sharon Garin）于5月18日宣布了上述调整，规定汽油价格每升最高上涨1.21比索，柴油每升最高上涨2.82比索。煤油价格将至少下调2.21比索每升。此次调整发生在上周燃油价格大幅下调之后。
加林解释称，能源部是根据各公司上报的重置成本、运费、保险费和运输费用来确定调整幅度的。她指出，能源部目前正在审查行业提交的数据，以评估现行规则是否需要放宽。
截至5月15日，全国燃油库存为45.33天，低于前一周的50.7天。加林表示，这一库存水平无需担忧，因为来自其他国家的供应依然有保障，且能源部已准备好在必要时采购额外库存。
业内人士将此次价格上涨归因于中东地区局势的升级，该地区是重要的石油生产区域。目前马尼拉大都会地区的汽油价格在每升73.68至108.18比索之间，柴油价格最高达每升97.65比索。
社交媒体平台X上的初步反应凸显了民众对因中东局势导致菲律宾燃油价格上涨的担忧；媒体报道、政府官方账号及用户正就经济影响、市场波动以及对储备和政策应对措施的质疑展开讨论。

Middle East Conflict Update – May 19, 2026

Ceasefire talks between U.S.–Iran remain fragile. Brent crude ~$120, peso at ₱61.64/$1 with risk of ₱65. PSEi volatile. Oil drives markets — stay defensive, watch forex, brace for swings. #Oil #Forex #PSEi
Then make it make sense why our landlocked neighbours have cheaper than us? Besides didn't the US pause the war for some weeks, wasn't that enough time to mobilise fuel reserves? The war is barely 3 months and we have seen the highest price hike in history, Na ikiextend a year?

Pure revenge trade is happening against India. Philippines have no reserves like us, no oil buffer like us, started hiking rate already, political instability, price hike across, though so far performing nicely....

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 set to surge next week due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, according to the Department of Energy.

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.
Gasoline and diesel prices rose moderately in South Korea on Sunday as the government considers adopting a price cap system amid concerns over rising energy prices due to the escalating Middle East conflict.
