“On Sunday, the results were disappointing as the Opec+ (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies) agreed to extend the previous output cut of 3.66 million barrels per day from June this year up to the end of 2025,” Abad said.

Abad also said that fuel prices were somewhat stable, so there would not be a significant increase or decrease in the coming weeks.
Last week, local oil companies applied a 40 centavo increase per liter for both diesel and gasoline. Kerosene also went up by 30 centavos per liter.
