Effective Tuesday, August 25, 2026, diesel went up ₱2.31 per liter, gasoline went up ₱1.08 and kerosene went up ₱0.95, as announced by the oil companies.
The Department of Energy reported the range across all oil companies in its weekly Oil Monitor: diesel increase of ₱2.30 to ₱2.31, gasoline increase of ₱1.00 to ₱1.10, kerosene increase of ₱0.91 to ₱1.00 per liter. The figures above fall within it.
Why prices moved: Dubai crude rose about $4.40 a barrel. International gasoline rose about $2.50 a barrel and diesel rose about $4.00. The peso weakened from ₱61.18 to ₱61.67 per US dollar, which makes imported fuel more expensive. (Trading week of August 17 to 21, 2026; figures from the Department of Energy's Oil Monitor.)
