As of Wednesday, March 23, 2022, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has distributed fuel subsidy cards to approximately 115,000 public transport drivers.
The fuel subsidy program, with a total of P2.5 billion approved by President Rodrigo Duterte, aims to benefit at least 377,000 public transport workers.
Distribution for new beneficiaries, including transport network vehicle services (TNVS) and UV Express drivers, is anticipated to begin next week.
The LTFRB will coordinate with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) for the distribution of cash cards to tricycle drivers and operators, as tricycles are under the mandate of local government units (LGUs).
