-PH fuel prices rise amid global crude price movements, excise tax.

-300 gas stations must explain early charging of higher excise taxes.

-Fuel prices begin to rise as oil moves higher in the world market. This may

only be the beginning as hundreds of gas stations already start charging higher

prices as a result of the second round in fuel excise taxes. - Business Nightly,

ANC, January 7, 2019.

-ONLY 3.47 percent of the 8,630 gasoline stations nationwide have started

implementing higher fuel prices brought about by higher excise taxes under the

second tranche of the Tax reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law.

-The second - round additional excise tax of P2 is imposed per liter of diesel

and gasoline, and P1 per kilogram on household LPG. There will also be an

additional 12 - percent value -added tax, for a total of P2.24 for both diesel

and gasoline, and P1.12 for LPG.

-Based on data submitted by the oil firms to the Department of Energy (DOE), only 300

service stations were monitored to have started implementing the second tranche of

the TRAIN law for petroleum products.


“We will ensure the fuel stocks for 2018 will be utilized first and sold at the pre-

implementation prices,” Cusi said.

However, the DOE pointed out that the increase in pump prices of petroleum products

resulting from the imposition of the second tranche of fuel excise tax will still be

smaller. This is due to the offsetting effect of the rollbacks implemented in 2018 and

January 2019.

EXPLANATION:

Maybe I agree because, One of the factors that can change the price into highest

amount is because of the typhoons and recently, the Philippines is being affected by

the typhoon Usman and by that a lot of agriculture has been devastated and the

importing and exporting of the products can be also stranded while they are on their

way due to the trees, rocks that is being blocked on the road and with the connection

to this is due to the delays, there expenses might added and lastly their plantation

might be also affected.
