Another diocese will abolish the arancel system or the system of charging fixed rates for sacraments.

Talibon Bishop Patrick Daniel Y. Parcon announced the gradual abolition of the arancel in his diocese starting May 1, 2021.“I, after having listened to and consulted the People of God, do hereby decree that there will no longer be fixed amount for the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, wedding and Holy Mass in the Diocese of Talibon; the Arancel System is hereby gradually abolished,” he said in a decree.

“Both the rich and the poor are called to contribute, heeding the call to be a ‘Church where no one is so poor as to have nothing to give, and no one is so rich as to have nothing to receive,'” he added.

I'm not really a fan of the catholic church but if the arancel system works for them then they should just continue it.. however they should just be lenient to those can't really afford them... giving people an idea of how much to give is better and less stressful.
