LOOK| The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) on Monday said the fuel subsidy distribution is “on the right track,” with around PHP651 million already released to beneficiaries nationwide.

The subsidy release is in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s order to immediately release fuel subsidy for public utility vehicles (PUV) amid the ongoing national energy emergency caused by the conflict in the Middle East.

In a statement, LTFRB Chair Vigor Mendoza II said all regional directors of the agency have been ordered to continue the validation of beneficiaries in coordination with other government agencies to ensure “fast, comfortable, and hassle-free” distribution.

“The goal remains, fast distribution of the fuel subsidy, and we assure our friends and partners in the PUV sector that we are on the right track,” Mendoza said.

While there have been challenges, especially in the distribution in Metro Manila, he assured that these are now “learned lessons” to prevent similar incidents in provincial distributions.

TINGNAN| Sinimulan na ng iba’t ibang transport group ang kanilang dalawang araw na tigil-pasada nitong Huwebes, Marso 26, bilang protesta sa tumataas na presyo ng langis dulot ng tensyon sa Middle East.

Ang transport strike ay kinabibilangan ng mga manggagawa mula sa mga transport sector, kasama ang mga jeepney, TNVS, motorcycle taxi, bus, at UV Express.

Nanawagan ang mga grupo sa pagtatanggal ng VAT at excise tax sa mga produktong petrolyo, pagbabalik ng presyo ng gasolina sa P55 kada litro, at pagbuwag ng Oil Deregulation Law.

Humiling din sila ng dagdag-pasahe, P1,200 na family living wage, at nasyonalisasyon ng industriya ng langis upang makapagbenta ang gobyerno ng mas murang gasolina.

TINGNAN| Pinawalang-bisa ng Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) ang P849.14 milyong tax assessment ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) laban sa Eastern Petroleum Corporation dahil sa paglabag sa due process.

Ayon sa CTA, invalid ang assessment para sa 2014 dahil mali ang due date—nakasaad sa demand na Setyembre 30, 2019 kahit natanggap lamang ito noong Oktubre 24, 2019. Dahil dito, nawalan ng pagkakataon ang kompanya na makapagbayad o makapagpaliwanag.

Bunsod nito, kinansela ang lahat ng buwis at ipinagbawal ang karagdagang koleksiyon ng BIR kaugnay sa kaso.
