It is very paradoxical that while govt is intent on phasing out jeepneys, and that it has slapped excise tax on diesel price, partially causing its price to double in price. it is giving P5,000 annual pantawid pasada fuel subsidy to jeepney driver

The head of LFTRB could not explain the reason for the subsidy amount. when asked by Mareng Winnie
The amount would barely cover 100 liters of fuel,  maybe good for one month pasada.  

Mas magaling bumababa o steady price ng fuel...
