26. Filipino drivers and commuters get a much-needed break as major fuel price cuts take effect today! President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the rollback on Sunday, calling it a "big-time" reduction that will provide relief to millions of Filipinos.
⛽ FUEL PRICE ROLLBACK
Effective April 14, 2026 (Today!)

| Fuel Type | Rollback per Liter |
|---|---|

📊 Historical Context: Before this rollback, fuel prices had been rising for weeks due to the Iran war disrupting global oil supply. The Middle East crisis triggered the highest fuel prices in recent Philippine history.
