MANILA, Philippines — The fuel discount subsidy for public utility jeepney and UV Express drivers will increase to P12 per liter starting August 15, the Office of the Executive Secretary announced on Wednesday, August 5. 'Not a fare hike substitute'Transport group MANIBELA welcomed the additional fuel discount but stressed its demand for a fare hike. “Hindi dapat gamitin ang fuel discount bilang dahilan upang ipagkait ang nararapat na fare increase,” MANIBELA said. (The fuel discount should not be used as a reason to deny the appropriate fare increase.)
