The proposed increase in the fuel subsidy to public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and agricultural workers will bring our people much-needed relief.
But the government must act with dispatch in distributing the aid as our PUV drivers and farmers and their families suffer the battering of high prices by the day.
We count on the Senate to be equally supportive of the increased aid in case legislative action is needed.
We must take measures to lighten the load of our people lashed by the high oil prices and their spillover effect on the cost of food and goods.
Every day, Filipinos try their hardest to pull through amid the impact of the pandemic and high prices.
The government must match this with quick and decisive action to show that it can be relied on.
