Filipino households will see higher prices of cooking gas this month as oil companies announced an upward adjustment for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
In separate advisories over the weekend, Solane and Petron said LPG prices will go up by 55 centavos per kilogram or about P6 per 11-kg cylinder.

This adjustment takes effect on Monday, July 1.
“This reflects the international contract price of LPG for the month of July,” Petron said.
Data from the Department of Energy shows that in January, retail prices of LPG in Metro Manila ranged from P920 to P1,100 per tank.
