Despite the fact that supply remains tight and we are still seeing slight increases in kerosene and gasoline prices, the decrease in diesel prices is a significant development,
AbaddOE Oil Industry Management Bureau Director
In summary, we expect these developments to ease the global diesel shortage. In the coming weeks, if these planned releases materialize, we expect the pressure on diesel prices to ease,

There is also a possibility of additional diesel releases from Russia, depending on the absorptive capacity of US refineries. The United States will not be competing as much in the global market, and neither will the G7 countries,
On October 2, G7 countries agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel. This was immediately followed by an agreement between the United States and Russia on October 12, which provided substantial temporary easing measures on Russian oil,

That is why the next focus of this Office is to help our economy bounce back, by removing the corruption that holds it back,

Zambales, Bataan fishers question VP Sara's silence on WPS

For us, the impeachment trial of the Vice President is not only about unexplained and ill-gotten wealth. This is about our livelihood, our safety, and our country's sovereignty. We face the risks at sea, and we deserve leaders who will stand up for us, not multimillionaire traitors,

Ang West Philippine Sea ay atin. Hindi dapat ang milyones ng Tsina ang manaig sa karapatan ng mga mangingisdang Pilipino na mangisda nang malaya at ligtas sa sarili nilang karagatan,
For us, the impeachment trial of the vice president is not only about unexplained and ill-gotten wealth. It is about our livelihood, safety, and the country’s sovereignty. We face danger at sea, and we deserve leaders who will fight for us, not multimillionaire traitors,

Barbers Questions VP Sara Duterte's Silence on WPS

The allegations emerged during the impeachment proceedings involving Duterte's alleged unexplained wealth from 2007 to 2025

It is a big disservice to the Filipino people that when you were campaigning you swore to protect the country and the public’s interest. Now the public are asking, why has there been no statement coming from the Vice President?”
