The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) 7 has officially announced an extension of the deadline for drivers and operators to submit all necessary requirements for the government's fuel subsidy program. The new cutoff date is now set for Monday, March 23, 2026, providing additional time for compliance.
E-Wallet Requirement for Direct Financial Aid
In a critical update, the agency has mandated that all beneficiaries must possess an active e-wallet account. This requirement is essential because the financial assistance will be disbursed directly into these accounts, ensuring a streamlined and efficient transfer process.
Subsidy Amounts Based on Vehicle Type
The subsidy amounts vary significantly depending on the type of public utility vehicle (PUV). Modern jeepneys and UV Express units are eligible to receive up to P10,000 in aid. For other categories of PUVs, the subsidy is set at P5,000 per vehicle.
Flexible Payment Options for Operators
Operators have been given the flexibility to choose their preferred method for receiving the funds. They can opt to have the subsidy deposited either into an e-wallet or a traditional bank account, accommodating different financial preferences and needs.
Application Process and Key Reminders
To apply, interested parties must email their complete requirements to fsp.ltfrb7@gmail.com. It is crucial to use the specified format for the email subject line: NAME OF TSE_FSP_DRIVER_OPERATOR.
Drivers are strongly encouraged to coordinate closely with their transport service entity (TSE) or operator to ensure they are included in the beneficiary list. The LTFRB 7 has issued a reminder for all applicants to verify that their e-wallet accounts are active and to submit all documents before the deadline to avoid any disruptions in receiving the financial assistance.
