DIESEL DOWN BY OVER P20 PER LITER STARTING APRIL 14; GASOLINE, KEROSENE ALSO CUT PRICES

PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Sunday announced a major rollback in fuel prices starting Tuesday, April 14, 2026, with diesel set to drop by more than P20 per liter, gasoline by over P4 per liter, and kerosene by more than P8 per liter.

President Marcos said the price cuts are part of broader efforts to cushion the impact of rising oil prices, adding that more measures and assistance programs will be rolled out in the coming days to further reduce transportation, food, and living expenses nationwide.

“Mayroon po akong ibabalita sa inyo. Simula Martes, April 14, may malaking rollback sa presyo ng langis. Mahigit P20 ang ibababa sa diesel. Ang gasolina naman, may bawas na P4.43 kada litro. At sa kerosene, P8.50 kada litro ang ibababa,” the President added.

President Marcos said the price cut would be a big help to drivers, commuters, and Filipino families affected by high crude oil prices.

The President acknowledged that the price cut was not sufficient, saying the government will continue to look for ways to ease the daily burden.

“Hindi pa ito sapat. Kaya tuloy-tuloy ang ginagawa ng pamahalaan para maibsan ang epekto nito sa inyong pang-araw-araw na buhay,” President Marcos added.

“Hindi po tayo titigil hangga’t hindi natin napapababa ang gastos sa biyahe, sa pagkain, at sa kabuuang pamumuhay ng ating mga kababayan,” the Chief Executive added.

In the coming days, President Marcos said an announcement will be made for additional assistance from the government.

“Sa mga susunod na araw at linggo, may iaanunsyo po ako na mga dagdag na hakbang at tulong mula sa gobyerno. Hindi natin hahayaang mapabayaan ang bawat Pilipino sa gitna ng mga hamong ito,” the President added.

“Kaya tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho ng pamahalaan para siguradong may mararamdaman na ginhawa ang bawat pamilya. At iyan ang tinututukan natin araw-araw,” President Marcos noted.
