Significant Fuel Price Increase Takes Effect Tuesday
Filipino motorists and commuters should prepare for another substantial increase in fuel costs as several major oil companies have confirmed a significant price adjustment scheduled for Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The announcement comes as a blow to consumers already grappling with rising transportation and living expenses.
Specific Price Adjustments Announced
In their official advisories released to the public, Pilipinas Shell, Petrogazz, Cleanfuel, and Seaoil have all confirmed identical price increases. The companies will implement a P1.20 per liter hike for both gasoline and diesel products. This uniform adjustment across multiple industry players indicates a broader market trend affecting fuel costs nationwide.
For vehicle owners who rely on kerosene, there is a slight reprieve. The oil firms have confirmed that there will be no price change for kerosene at this time. This may provide some relief to households and businesses that use kerosene for cooking, heating, or other industrial purposes.
Effective Date and Consumer Impact
The new, higher prices will officially take effect starting 6 a.m. on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. This early morning implementation means that motorists filling up their tanks on Monday evening will pay the current rates, while those refueling from Tuesday morning onward will face the increased costs.
This price hike represents one of the more substantial single increases in recent months and is likely to have a ripple effect across various sectors of the economy. Transportation costs for public utility vehicles, delivery services, and logistics companies are expected to rise, potentially leading to increased fares and prices for goods and services throughout the Philippines.
Consumers are advised to plan their fuel purchases accordingly and consider adjusting their transportation budgets to accommodate these higher fuel expenses in the coming weeks.
