The Philippines is set to receive 66 million kilos of LPG from the United States, Canada, and Mexico between May 15 and June 1, enough to supply industries and households for about a month.
The Department of Energy (DOE) will store the shipment in four large LPG facilities, adding an estimated 30 to 40 days of inventory to the country’s existing stock.
As of March 27, LPG supplies were sufficient for 34 days, and retailers are required to maintain at least 60 days of stock.
Rising contract and shipping costs have pushed LPG prices higher, with an 11-kilo tank in Metro Manila now costing over P1,500.
Energy officials assured the public that despite price hikes, supply is stable and available for both households and businesses.
