This marks the third price rollback for gasoline and the fifth for diesel.
The Department of Energy - Oil Industry Management Bureau, from its office in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, stated that the decrease is due to concerns over a recession in the United States, global tensions, and China's reduced use of petroleum products.
Despite the rollback, there has been a significant increase in gasoline prices since the beginning of the year, with a rise of P9.50 per liter for gasoline and P6.65 per liter for diesel.
