Fuel discount could go as high as P17/L in some gas stations, LTFRB says
The Philippine government has launched a fuel subsidy program providing a P12 per liter discount for public utility vehicles like jeepneys and UV Express. LTFRB officials are working to expedite payments to gas stations to ensure the program's success, with some drivers potentially seeing total discounts up to P17 per liter.
Why it matters
This initiative directly impacts the operational costs of public transportation and helps mitigate the effects of fuel price inflation for low-income transport workers.
