Suntay clarified that the House was not requesting to suspend through and through the fuel extract charges, yet just the increments forced under Republic Act 10963 or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law.

“We’re not asking na I-suspend lahat ng extract charge on fuel. Ang sinasabi naming I-suspend ‘yong rate na pinatong natin when we supported the TRAIN Law. Kasi tuloy-tuloy ‘yong pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at alam naman natin we are coming from the pandemic (We’re not requesting to suspend all extract charges on fuel out and out. What we are proposing is to suspend the expansion in fuel extract obligations when we supported the TRAIN Law due to the progressive oil value climbs and since we as a whole realize we are coming from the pandemic),” he said.

“I’m certain ‘yong mga kasamahan natin (I’m certain our associates) would likewise need to give it as a Christmas present to the Filipino public, who have been hit hard by this pandemic,” Suntay said. “I don’t completely accept that that it will have a drawn out adverse consequence on our economy or the exhibition of the public authority kung isu-suspend natin itong karagdagang extract charge lang (assuming we will suspend the increment in extract charge rates).”

The bill means to decrease extract charges on diesel, lamp oil, and liquified oil gas to nothing, while extract charges on low-octane gas, frequently utilized by tricycle drivers, will likewise be diminished to PHP4.35.

There is a self-adjusting component in the bill that would return to the TRAIN law rates assuming the costs standardized.

“Truth be told, naglagay dad nga tayo ng colatilla na pag bumaba na sa USD65 to a barrel ibalik natin kaagad ‘yan (extract charge) programmed (indeed, there is a colatilla that assuming it returns to USD65 per barrel, we would return the extract charge [rates] consequently),” he said.
