Philippines fuel price reduction in November: gasoline down ₱16.80 a liter

What happened. On November 9 Energy Secretary Sharon Garin said at a briefing that gasoline would fall by at least ₱16.80 a liter from November 10. The Philippine News Agency reports diesel falls ₱4.10 a liter, the second straight cut. Kerosene falls ₱3.70 a liter, after an earlier rise. Inquirer notes that for gasoline it is the first double-digit cut since the Middle East war began.

It is bigger than the early estimate. A few days ago the expected gasoline cut was up to ₱13.50 a liter. The confirmed figure is higher.

Why. The Department of Energy's Oil Industry Management Bureau tied the drop to international markets. Hopes of a diplomatic resolution to the US and Iran conflict eased fears of supply disruption from the Middle East. Qatar's mediation and recent US political developments also helped. Leo Bellas, president of Jetti Petroleum, added that gasoline and diesel fell on lower crude prices and expectations of more supply after South Korea eased diesel restrictions and China added an export quota.

Supply. Undersecretary Alessandro Sales said domestic supply is adequate. According to the department, gasoline stocks cover 51.64 days and diesel 53.95 days.

Caveats. The articles we read do not list the companies that announced the prices or the exact hour. The pump price depends on the chain and the region. The next weekly adjustment will show whether the trend holds.
