MANILA - A House panel is considering cash aid for public utility jeepney drivers and operators to prevent a fare hike amid the continuing increase in fuel prices.
After a closed-door executive session of the House Committee on Transportation on Wednesday, panel chair Samar 1st District Rep. Edgar Mary Sarmiento said the proposed relief to prevent increase in fares will be contained in a joint resolution. "May susundin tayong proposal. Hindi ko lang masabi pero babalik tayo kung ano nangyari dati, 'yung 'Pantawid Pasada' . But the details hindi na," he said.
The Pantawid Pasada program was initiated in 2018 to cushion the impact of higher fuel excise tax through the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law. Because of this, the fuel subsidy is also being funded by the TRAIN law.“Binigay muna natin sa DOE , dito sa DOTr 'yung pag-aaral kung anong nararapat habang ginagawa namin 'yung ... itong House resolution," he said.
