LPG prices up by P3.30 per 11-kg tank

MANILA, Philippines — The summer season started rough for consumers as the price of cooking gas went up for the third month in a row this year.

In an advisory, Petron Corp. said it implemented an increase of P0.30 per kilogram in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices effective Friday, March 1.

This is equivalent to an increase of P3.30 per 11-kilogram tank.

“This reflects the international contract price of LPG for the month of March,” Petron said.

Last month, consumers were greeted with an increase of P10.45 per cylinder.
