Fuel prices climb up to P2 per literA gas station attendant fills up cars at a station in Paco, Manila on January 12, 2026. MANILA, Philippines — Motorists are facing another round of fuel price increases today, with diesel and kerosene rising for the third straight week this year. In separate advisories, Jetti, Seaoil, Petron, PTT Philippines and Caltex announced a per-liter price hike of P1 for gasoline, P2 for diesel and P1.50 for kerosene. The latest adjustments bring the year-to-date net increase for gasoline, diesel and kerosene prices to P1.20, P2.40 and P1.90 per liter, respectively. Also exerting upward pressure on prices were the drone attacks on two Western-operated oil tankers in the Black Sea, which further heightened concerns over potential supply disruptions.
