The Department of Energy (DOE) has intensified fuel price monitoring across Mindanao to ensure that petroleum retailers properly implement the major fuel price rollback that took effect on November 10, 2026.

Through its Mindanao Field Office (DOE-MFO), the agency conducted monitoring activities to verify whether fuel stations were complying with the announced price adjustments and to protect consumers from possible pricing irregularities.

The DOE said the initiative formed part of its nationwide efforts to promote fair and transparent fuel pricing, particularly following significant reductions in petroleum product prices.

The department emphasized that the rollback should translate into actual savings for motorists, households and businesses that rely on fuel for transportation and daily operations.

Fuel price adjustments directly affect transportation expenses and business operating costs, making compliance with announced reductions important for consumers.

The DOE said continued monitoring would help ensure that the benefits of lower petroleum prices reach the public.

The agency also encouraged consumers to remain vigilant and report suspected pricing irregularities through the eGovPH App for appropriate action.

The monitoring activities are part of the DOE’s continuing efforts to safeguard consumer welfare and promote compliance with fuel pricing regulations nationwide.
