Marcos announces fuel price cuts, asks oil firms to comply promptly

Marcos said oil firms must fully implement the cuts as diesel drops P24.94 per liter and motorists are urged to report complaints.

  • On Saturday, April 18, 2026, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced a major fuel price rollback effective Tuesday, April 21, 2026, slashing diesel by P24.94 per liter, gasoline by P3.41, and kerosene by P2.
  • Easing tensions in the Middle East led to a significant unwinding of the risk premium that had previously driven up petroleum costs and created global supply concerns.
  • Marcos urged oil companies to fully implement the reductions immediately, stating, "Give Filipinos what they deserve," while emphasizing that every saved centavo should be felt by the public.
  • Alongside fuel cuts, the Land Transportation Office extended license and registration validity by 3 months, while the Department of Transportation continues its Service Contracting Program for public utility vehicle drivers.
  • Government officials vowed swift action on complaints regarding compliance, with the Chief Executive stating, "Relief is coming," to ensure immediate assistance reaches Filipino motorists as intended.
