Heads up, everyone!🚨
Industry experts are signaling a significant hike in LPG prices this April, with costs potentially rising by ₱35 to ₱40 per kilo due to global tensions and soaring shipping fees. This means a standard 11kg cylinder could see an increase of up to ₱440. While the Department of Energy assures us that there is a stable supply for over a month, it's important to stay vigilant against fake news claiming prices will reach astronomical levels. Let’s focus on cooking efficiently, checking for leaks, and staying informed through official sources to manage our household budgets during this time😊🚨
