LPG SALES DECREASE. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) store owners in Davao City report a significant decline in sales as of Wednesday, April 15, 2026, amid the continued impact of high fuel and energy costs. Retailers said their daily sales volume has been cut in half as consumers tighten their budgets. Currently, the price of a standard 11-kilogram LPG tank ranges from P1,619 to P1,656. The drop in demand reflects a shift in consumer behavior, with more households seeking cheaper alternatives for their daily cooking needs. President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has recently suspended the imposition of excise tax on LPG and kerosene starting Monday, April 13, 2026.

The world is set to make abundant energy by the second half of the decade as the production of solar panels and infrastructure of wind panel turbine surge — but there'll also be an excess of planet-warming fossil fuels, a report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency said. The report also added that the world is still way off what's needed to cap warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial times.
