MANILA, Philippines — Vice Presidential bet Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan repeated his call to the government to focus on giving fuel subsidies to public utility services and agricultural workers amid the continued rise in pump prices this week.

 

He also pushed for the halting of excise taxes on oil products, saying that this will prevent an immediate impact on the prices of other commodities. 

 

"The government should prioritize the distribution of fuel subsidies to the drivers of jeepneys, buses, tricycles, farmers and fisherfolk. A huge portion of their expenses goes to fuel," Pangilinan said in Filipino in a statement on Sunday.
