MANILA, Philippines — Expect oil price rollback this week, starting April 5, petroleum firms announced Monday.

Kerosene price, which is offered by Shell, SeaOil, Caltex, and Metro Oil, will be slashed by P1.65 per liter.
The price adjustment will take effect on Tuesday, 6 a.m. except for Cleanfuel and Caltex.
Caltex and Cleanfuel’s price rollback will be effective Tuesday, 12:01 a.m. and 8:01 a.m, respectively.

Earlier, a series of oil price increases ensued following Russian’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions imposed on Russia, a key crude producer.
