[Title] => P1 oil price cut likely next month
[Summary] => There is a "good possibi-lity" that fuel prices will be reduced by P1 per liter next month, Energy Secretary Mario Tiaoqui said yesterday.
Tiaoqui issued the statement following the significant drop in world prices of crude oil with Dubai crude, the Philippine benchmark, falling from a high of $31 to only $19 per barrel.
"We might even see a bigger price drop. But we still have to talk about that because we want to know what (the oil firms’) plans are," he said in a radio interview.
