Gas prices are projected to drop slightly next week, as the strict lockdowns in China and low demand for oil continued.

Oil prices have now increased two weeks in a row.

Based on estimates, gasoline prices will go down by P0.60 to P0.80 per liter, diesel by P1.10 to P1.30, and kerosene P1 to P1.15.

Industry insiders previously said the lower gas prices could be attributed to the decrease in demand for oil products due to the massive coronavirus lockdowns in China, a major consumer of oil products.

Other countries also started using their strategic oil reserves, while Libya resumed oil production, according to the energy department.
