PETROLEUM companies implemented a
price rollback on petroleum products effective on Tuesday for the third
straight week, reflecting movements in the international market.
A P0.90 per liter price rollback
both for gasoline and kerosene took effect on Tuesday morning. Diesel
price declined by P1.05 per liter.
Pilipinas Shell, Eastern Petroleum,
and Seaoil said on Monday the price adjustment takes effect at 6 a.m.
on Tuesday. Other oil firms are expected to follow suit.
“This is to reflect movements in the
international petroleum market,” they said.

On May 2 pump prices went down by
P0.85 per liter for gasoline, P1 per liter for kerosene and P0.70 per liter for
diesel.
A week prior to that, oil firms
implemented a P0.20 per liter reduction in gasoline, P0.30 per liter for diesel
and P0.40 per liter in kerosene.
The Department of Energy said this
week’s price rollback was attributed to the ample supply, but low demand in the
world market.
