House wants to keep the gasoline subsidy and free riding in the budget for 2023.
The House of Representatives is advocating for the preservation of monies designated for gasoline subsidies and the Department of Transportation’s Libreng Sakay program, according to Speaker Martin G. Romualdez on Tuesday (DOTr).
The Pantawid Pasada Fuel Program will receive PHP25 billion, Libreng Sakay will receive PHP2 billion, and PHP1 billion will be allocated as part of the institutional amendments for pro-people initiatives in the national budget.
“This is one of the components in the proposed national budget that supports the people. The Filipinos require these, according to Romualdez. Kailangan ito ng mga mamamayan.
In light of the rising cost of fuel, he claimed that the government’s fuel subsidy program is still one that motorists and business owners look forward to.
The “free ride” program is also crucial, he continued, as it provides commuters who don’t make enough money to support their families with significant assistance.
The Libreng Sakay scheme, according to House, will significantly benefit commuters. The head of the House Committee on Appropriations, Rep. Zaldy Co of the Ako Bicol Party, said, “We funded that because it was required.
As required by the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act, the service contracting or Libreng Sakay program of the DOTr and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) went into effect in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, it was kept.
Meanwhile, bike lanes encourage people to ride their bicycles to and from work.
It helps keep people physically fit while also reducing the number of vehicles on the road, according to Co.
