As boat fuel accounts for half of the operating cost of fishermen, the government should increase its planned gas subsidy to them, to be drawn from windfall tax collection from higher fuel prices.

The government should consider increasing its P500 million fuel subsidy program for farmers and fisherfolk.

Not just public utility drivers; Fishermen deed subsidy, too. (2022, April 8). Panay News, p. 7.
