The oil companies rolled back pump prices by as much as P0.20 per liter this week to reflect the movement of world oil prices.
They cut the price of gasoline by P0.20 per liter and kerosene and diesel by P0.10 per liter effective 6 a.m. today, Tuesday.
“Phoenix Petroleum will decrease the prices of diesel by P0.10 per liter and gasoline by P0.20 per liter effective 6 a.m. on November 26,” the company said.
World oil prices declined as traders expressed concern over the slow pace of the US-China trade negotiations.
