A fresh round of price cuts is bringing relief to households and businesses relying on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as REGASCO announced its fifth rollback in just 20 days.
In total, LPG prices have been reduced by ₱143 per 11-kilogram cylinder over the period, reflecting a notable downward trend in the local market.
Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz—a key global oil shipping route—industry players point to easing crude oil prices as a major factor behind the rollback. Lower global oil prices have also led to reduced shipping costs or premiums, helping bring down overall LPG prices.
“Bagama't nandiyan pa rin ang banta ng kaguluhan at nananatiling sarado ang Strait of Hormuz, nagkakaroon naman ng pagbaba sa presyo ng crude oil dahilan kaya’t bumaba rin ang shipping cost o premium sa pandaigdigang merkado.”
With these developments, there are growing calls for local LPG suppliers to promptly reflect the decline in global prices in their retail rates to benefit consumers.
“At dahil diyan, kailangan ring agad-agad ibaba ang presyo sa ating local market at i-reflect ang tamang presyo ng LPG para sa kaginhawaan ng mga konsyumers.”
The latest rollback is expected to ease financial pressure on Filipino households, many of whom depend on LPG for daily cooking and small-scale business operations. Industry observers say continued monitoring of global oil movements will be crucial in determining whether further price adjustments will follow in the coming weeks.
