The increases come a week after local oil companies cut their prices by P1.30 (diesel), P0.70 (gasoline) and P1.80 (kerosene). The Department of Energy said the Feb. 28 price adjustments resulted in a year-to-date net decrease for diesel at P2.40 per liter and kerosene at P2.30 per liter. Gasoline, meanwhile, had a net increase of P5.30 per liter. Local oil prices are anchored on the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS), which refers to the calculation of average daily price assessments for a basket of crude and refined petroleum products traded in the Singapore market.


This pricing reference is widely used in Asia-Pacific markets because Singapore is a major hub for oil trading and refining in the region.
