On June 21, fuel prices rose by P0.80/liter for gasoline, diesel by P3.10/liter, and kerosene by P1.70/liter. Meanwhile, previous price adjustments on June 14 were P2.15/liter increase for gasoline, diesel by P4.30/liter, and kerosene by P4.85/liter.
According to the Department of Energy (DOE) Oil Monitor, the net increase in fuel prices in the country as of this year is P29.50/liter for gasoline, P44.25/liter for diesel, and P39.65/liter for kerosene.
The new set of price hikes are the lowest since the four successive weeks (five for diesel) of increases.
Atty. Rino Abad, DOE Oil Industry Management Bureau Director, said last week that the increase in prices could be attributed to the Philippine peso’s current performance against the US dollar.
He said that fuel prices may have declined were it not for the peso depreciation.
On Friday last week (June 24), the peso weakened to about P54.98 to the US dollar. During the June 13-17 trading days, the peso depreciated by P0.44 against the US dollar, or to P53.36 from P52.93. – WhatALife!
