MANILA, Philippines - Oil companies will reduce their pump prices on Sunday.

At 12:01 a.m., major player Petron Corp. and small player Seaoil Philippines will slash P0.65 per liter off their respective prices of premium gasoline (including unleaded), P0.50 per liter off regular gas, P0.40 per liter off diesel and P0.25 per liter off kerosene.

Flying V, another small oil firm, said it would shed P0.60 per liter from premium gasoline prices and P0.50 per liter from regular, diesel, and kerosene.

“This (adjustment) is to reflect the movements in the international oil market,” Petron said in a text advisory sent Saturday afternoon.

Effective 1 am Sunday Shell will likewise reduce its pump price for FuelSave Unleaded Gasoline, Shell Super Premium Unleaded and Shell VPower by P0.65 per liter; Shell FuelSave Diesel & Shell VPower Diesel by P0.40 per liter; kerosene, P0.25/liter ; Regular , P0.50/liter.

The Department of Energy (DoE) predicted a few days ago that local petroleum prices would drop this coming week due to the softening prices in the international market.

Oil firms are coming off sweeping price rollback last week wherein prices of unleaded was decreased by P1 per liter, kerosene by P0.90 per liter, regular by P0.70 per liter and diesel by up to P0.80 per liter.

Don't know why they bother announcing it.. considering how big the variance is from station to station.

Still enjoying rather cheap fuel. Our local stations all sell at 54.75... compared to everywhere else where gas is 58-60...

Shell to roll back prices of fuel products Saturday (June 9)
June 8, 2012 1:03pm


At least one of the "Big 3" oil firms is rolling back the prices of its fuel products effective 12:01 a.m. Saturday, citing dropping world prices of oil.

Shell said its rollback comes in anticipation of what some Filipinos may consider a long weekend due to the Independence Day holiday.

"We felt that since its going to be almost a four-day holiday magro-roll back kami mamayang midnight," Shell spokesman Bobby Kanapi said in an interview on dzBB radio.

Aside from the weekend, Independence Day – which falls on a Tuesday – is a regular holiday. However, Malacañang said Monday, June 11, is a regular working day.

Kanapi said they are bringing down prices of regular gas and kerosene by P2 per liter; and diesel and premium and unleaded gas by P1.50 per liter.

"Malaking rollback ito (This is a big rollback)," he said but declined to say if further rollbacks are forthcoming next week.

Meanwhile, other fuel firms have yet to announce rollbacks as of Friday noon. — LBG, GMA News

After Shell and Flying V, at least two more oil firms on Saturday rolled back the prices of its products, citing the reduction in international fuel prices.

In a post on its Twitter account, Petron Corp. said its latest fuel price rollback took effect at 12:01 a.m.

"This is to reflect the reduction in international fuel prices," it said.

This was slightly higher than the rollbacks by Shell and Flying V, which also took effect immediately after midnight of Friday.

Meanwhile, "Petrol Price," a Twitter account monitoring fuel prices, said Unioil also rolled back prices of its products.

The rollbacks include P1.50 per liter for premium and unleaded gas and for diesel.

In separate announcements Friday, Shell and Flying V had brought down prices of regular gas and kerosene by P2 per liter; and diesel and premium and unleaded gas by P1.50 per liter.

“We felt that since its going to be almost a four-day holiday magro-rollback kami mamayang midnight (We felt since it is going to be almost a four-day holiday, we would roll back prices after midnight),” Shell spokesman Bobby Kanapi had said in an interview on dzBB radio Friday noon. — LBG, GMA News
