MANILA, Philippines—Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. is slashing prices of diesel by 40 centavos a liter, and of kerosene by 50 centavos a liter, effective Monday.

The latest price adjustments reflect the downward trend in the prices of petroleum products in the international market. Energy Undersecretary Jose M. Layug Jr. said this was due to a dampened demand for diesel last week compared with previous week’s take-up.

Other oil companies have not announced their respective price adjustments as of Sunday evening.
