SILANG, Cavite — Local tricycle drivers in the Municipality of Silang, Cavite, will receive financial relief as the local government rolls out its fuel subsidy program to combat rising oil prices amid global tensions.
Although details on the fuel subsidy distribution will be posted in the coming days, local Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators are already expressing their gratitude for the assistance that the local government will provide.
Joel Diosina of the OBH Bayani Drivers and Operators Multi-Purpose Cooperative (DOMPC) thanked the municipal government for the subsidy.
“Maraming salamat po kay Mayor Ted Carranza para sa fuel subsidy. Muli, nagpapasalamat po ang buong members ng OBH Bayani DOMPC.”
Mayor Ted Carranza announced on March 17 that the Municipal Government will distribute P1,500 fuel subsidy for 5,000 registered tricycle drivers to help cushion the impact of rising fuel costs triggered by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
Carranza clarified that the subsidy will be exclusive to tricycle drivers with franchise plying routes within the Silang municipality.
“Ito ay tulong sa kinakaharap nating krisis o pagtaas ng petrolyo dulot ng kasalukuyang kaguluhan na nagaganap sa Middle East na pangunahing inaangkatan natin ng langis at gasolina.” (PB-PIA CALABARZON, Municipal Extension Office – Bulihan/Facebook)
