Defining the News

While we’re at this, we are just as concerned over rising consumer prices as the tendency of government to impose higher fines for minor infractions

In response to the urgent need to control conflation, the Marcos administration issued Executive Order 41 late last month directing local government units to suspend the collection of any form of fees upon all types of vehicles transporting goods under Section 153 or 155 of Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991.Over the years, LGUs throughout the country had apparently wracked their brains thinking of ingenious ways to generate additional income.

Pursuant to the presidential edict, the Metro Manila Council declared a moratorium on the collection of various fees from vehicles bringing goods into the metropolis. In a meeting with ULAP National President Gov. Dax Cua and other league officials, Abalos urged them to encourage their member leagues and respective constituent LGUs to pass resolutions of support for EO 41 expressing their commitment to align their actions with the objectives of the EO.

Will this move from the national government down to LGUs help bring down the prices of consumer goods?While we’re at this, we are just as concerned over rising consumer prices as the tendency of government to impose higher fines for minor infractions.
