MANILA – Motorists will face another round of fuel price hikes starting Tuesday, February 3, as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene costs continue to climb due to tight supply conditions and global market factors.

In separate advisories, Seaoil, Jetti Petroleum, PTT Philippines, and Petron announced that gasoline prices will increase by PHP0.80 per liter, diesel by PHP1.60 per liter, and kerosene by PHP1.10 per liter effective 6 a.m. Chevron (Caltex) will implement the same increases at 6:01 a.m.

This marks the fourth price hike for gasoline and the sixth for diesel and kerosene in 2026. Last week, pump prices were also adjusted upward, with gasoline up by PHP0.40 per liter, diesel by PHP1.40 per liter, and kerosene by PHP0.80 per liter.

The increases are attributed to ongoing global supply disruptions, including production interruptions and logistical constraints, which have maintained upward pressure on fuel prices despite earlier expectations of softening costs.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead as the series of adjustments continues to affect transport and energy costs nationwide.
