00:24Every peso increase in fuel means less food on the table for drivers like Domingo.
00:31To ease the burden on drivers hit hard by surging fuel prices,
00:46President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the distribution of 5,000 pesos in cash aid for drivers.
00:54The ceremonial distribution was held for tricycle drivers in Santa Mesa, Manila.
00:59This is just the beginning of the distribution.
01:03This is something that we have to do because of the sudden increase in fuel prices.
01:10We have to do this para magkulungan naman ang natin.
01:13Walang pasalamat po namin, nag-tarong kami ng gantong halihuda po.
01:16Medyo magandin dahil may tulong na kunti.
01:20Magpabilihin ng bigas, magagas, ng anong kultang.
01:22Around 139,000 tricycle drivers in Metro Manila are targeted to receive aid under the Assistance for Individuals in Crisis
01:31Situation or AICS Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
01:36Tricycle drivers outside the National Capital Region will also receive financial aid.
01:43Jeepney drivers and ride-hailing app drivers are next in line the coming days.
01:48Nandito ang gobyerno, nandito ang papalaan, at talagang binabantayan natin kung ano mga bagong pangyayari, kung ano pang darating para
01:56naman matiyak na patuloy na makakapaghanap po ang ating mga kumbayan.
02:01At patuloy na makapasok sa trabaho yung ating mga commuter.
02:06Asahan po ninyo na kami po ay nakapantay at nakakaalalay sa lahat ng ating mga kumbayan.
02:13Free rides will also be provided under the Love Bus Program in Cebu, Davao, and Metro Manila to help commuters
02:21and motorists save on fares and fuel.
02:24The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines will also reduce passenger service charges as well as landing, parking, and other
02:33fees.
02:33Air fare adjustments will also be better controlled after the review period for fuel surge charges was shortened to 15
02:42days.
02:43Ito ay makakatulong para bumaba ang gastos ng mga airline at ang mga pamasahe sa aeroplano.
02:48The President has also ordered a review on policies on licenses, permits, clearances, and certifications.
02:55Tignan ninyo kung alin dito ang pwede munang suspindihin o di kaya ibabaan ang mga singil upang makabawas sa mga
03:04iniintindi ng taong bayan.
03:06The President also reminded that collection of any fees related to graduation is temporarily prohibited.
