Lawmaker calls for P7B in fuel subsidies for PUV drivers, fisherfolk, farmers
Excerpt

Marcelino “Nonoy” Libanan said on Monday. “Our public utility vehicle (PUV) and ride-hailing drivers, along with delivery service riders, deserve highly improved financial support to help them cope with the persistent burden of high fuel prices,” Libanan said.
