Small oil players Flying V, Total, Eastern Petroleum, and SeaOil Philippines will increase its pump prices by P1 per liter or more on Tuesday early morning. The big three oil firms, Shell, Caltex and Petron have yet to announce if they will follow suit.

In a separate announcement via text message, Sea Oil Philippines said the P1.00 per liter price adjustments for its gasoline, diesel, and kerosene products will take effect 6 a.m., Tuesday.

The small oil players said the movement aims to reflect the "upward price movements" of pump prices in the world market.
