Manila, Philippines – Oil firms Pilipinas Shell, Petron Corp., Chevron Philippines (formerly Caltex), Eastern Petroleum Philippines, and Unioil Philippines reduced prices by up to P1.20 per liter yesterday.
They slashed prices of all gasoline products by P1.20 per liter, diesel by P1 per liter, and kerosene by P0.80 per liter. Shell, Chevron, and Eastern Petroleum’s price cut took effect at 12:01 a.m. while Petron and Unioil reduced at 6 a.m.
