The LTFRB provides fuel subsidies to 115,00 beneficiaries.

MANILA, Philippines – Around 115,000 public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers have received the government’s one-time PHP6,500 fuel subsidy, a Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) official said on Wednesday.

Zona Russet Tamayo, regional director of the LTFRB – National Capital Region (NCR), stated during a Laging Handa briefing that the funds were distributed via cash cards provided by the Landbank of the Philippines (LBP).

“Patuloy na ho na nag-i-imprint ang LBP ng mga bagong ‘Pantawid Pasada’ cards para ho maipamahagi na natin ang mga ito sa ating additional beneficiaries ngayong taon,” Tamayo said.

Drivers and operators of transport network vehicle services (TNVS), UV Express, and tricycles are included among these additional beneficiaries.

Tamayo said the LTFRB will begin distributing cash cards to drivers and operators of TNVS and UV Express units next week.

She stated that the LTFRB would coordinate with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) regarding tricycle drivers and operators, as tricycles fall under the jurisdiction of local government units (LGU).

“Patuloy ang ating pakikipag-usap sa DILG para mahingi na sa kanila iyong listahan po ng mga beneficiaries po nating mga tricycle driver,” Tamayo said.

The government’s latest fuel subsidy began distribution on March 15 via existing LBP cash cards issued under previous government subsidy programs.

Along with the fuel subsidy, the LTFRB and the Department of Transportation are considering reviving the Service Contracting Program, which offers cash incentives to PUV drivers and operators and free rides to commuters.
