Way to go and kudos to the Commission on Elections for acting expeditiously on such a no-brainer issue involving the fuel subsidy grant under the Special Provision under the Department of Transportation’s 2022 budget.
This is a great deal for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators, as well as farmers and fisherfolk who are dealing with the continued rise in prices of oil.

Kinuwestyon ni independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson nitong Martes ang pagtigil ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board sa distribusyon ng fuel subsidies para sa public utility vehicle operators at mga drayber sa panahon ng election period mula March 25 hanggang May 8.
Ayon kay Lacson, hanggang walang legal na basehan sa naturang suspensyon, hindi tama at patas ang desisyong ito para sa PUV operators at mga drayber na apektado pa rin sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis.
“Unless there is jurisprudence along that line, I don’t think the national government should be covered by the election ban on providing social services to our people especially at a time when the prices of fuel continue to go up,” ani Lacson.

Independent presidential candidate Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson questioned Tuesday the suspension of fuel subsidies to public utility vehicle operators and drivers by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board during the election period from March 25 to May 8.
Lacson said that unless there is jurisprudence affirming such a suspension, it is unfair to the PUV operators and drivers, as well as drivers of tricycles and regular delivery services hit by the escalating oil prices.
“Unless there is jurisprudence along that line, I don’t think the national government should be covered by the election ban on providing social services to our people especially at a time when the prices of fuel continue to go up,” he said.

Walang puwang dapat ang korapsyon o anumang administrative lapses sa pamamahagi ng fuel subsidy sa mga sektor na apektado ng patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng langis, ayon kay Senador Ping Lacson nitong Miyerkules.
Aniya, dapat nang matuto ang mga otoridad sa nangyari noong nakaraan kung saan hindi nakarating sa mga benepisyaryo tulad ng Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) drivers ang pondo mula sa Bayanihan fund.
“Bukod sa corruption issue, may administrative issue ng pag-distribute. Baka mamaya sabihin natin patay na ang kabayo bago dumating ang ayuda,” saad ni Lacson sa kanyang panayam sa DZRH.

There should be no room for corruption or administrative lapses in the distribution of fuel subsidies to sectors affected by the continued rise in oil prices, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson said authorities should learn from the past where aid from the Bayanihan funds failed to reach their intended beneficiaries, especially the public utility drivers.
“Bukod sa corruption issue, may administrative issue ng pag-distribute. Baka mamaya sabihin natin, patay na ang kabayo bago dumating ang ayuda (Aside from the issue of possible corruption, there is the administrative issue of distributing the funds. We cannot afford a case of the aid coming too late, when the beneficiaries may have already died),” he said in an interview on DZRH radio.
