Gasoline pump prices up for 5th week Tuesday; diesel, kerosene for 4th

Motorists will again have to pay more for petroleum products this week, as fuel retailers on Monday announced another round of hikes to reflect the fifth straight week of increases for gasoline, and the fourth for both diesel and kerosene.

In separate advisories, Chevron Philippines Inc. (Caltex), Petron Corp., Shell Pilipinas Corp. and Seaoil Philippines Corp. said they will hike prices per liter of gasoline by P0.10, diesel by P0.50, and kerosene by P0.10.

Cleanfuel, Petro Gazz, and PTT Philippines Corp., will implement the same changes, excluding kerosene which it does they do not carry.

The changes will take effect at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, September 16, for all the firms except for Cleanfuel which will adjust prices at 4:01 p.m. the same day.

Other firms have yet to make similar announcements for the week.

The Department of Energy-Oil Industry Management Bureau (DOE-OIMB) earlier projected increases for this week, citing the geopolitical tensions brought by the Israeli attack in Doha, Qatar targeting Hamas leaders, and the Russian drone incursion into Poland’s airspace.

Firms last week increased prices per liter of gasoline by P1.00, diesel by P1.40, and kerosene by P0.70.

This brought year-to-date adjustments to a net increase of P13.80 per liter for gasoline, P14.85 per liter for diesel, and P3.45 per liter for kerosene as of September 9, 2025.—AOL/RF, GMA Integrated News
