Fuel Prices in the Philippines Increases Again
Starting April 29, 2025, fuel prices in the Philippines have gone up for the second consecutive week, affecting everyone from drivers to businesses that depend on transportation.
Effective April 29, these are the new fuel prices:
- Gasoline: ₱1.35 more per liter
- Diesel: ₱0.80 more per liter
- Kerosene: ₱0.70 more per liter
These price hikes are expected to hit household budgets, particularly for those who rely on private vehicles or depend on public transport for their daily commute.
Why Are Prices Going Up?
The recent increase in fuel prices comes down to a few key factors:
1. Global Oil Price Fluctuations: The cost of crude oil in the international market plays a major role in local fuel pricing. When global prices rise, local prices tend to follow.
2. Exchange Rate Movements: The strength of the Philippine peso against the US dollar also influences fuel prices, as most of the country’s oil is imported in dollars.
3. Supply Chain Issues: Disruptions in the supply of oil or transportation difficulties can further drive up costs.
These factors combined are making fuel more expensive for everyone, especially in recent weeks.
The rise in fuel prices will have a ripple effect on daily life:
1. Transportation Costs: With higher fuel prices, public transport operators may increase fares, impacting commuters.
2. Rising Prices for Goods: Since transportation costs are tied to the delivery of goods, this price hike may eventually lead to higher prices on groceries, retail items, and services.
3. Impact on Households: Families who use private cars will feel the pinch as they’ll need to spend more on fuel each month.
While there’s no clear indication of when fuel prices might go down, it’s important to stay updated on changes in the global oil market and keep an eye on government measures that could affect future price adjustments.
