MANILA, Philippines — Sherwin "Win" Gatchalian, who chairs his chamber's energy committee, called on the government to fast track the distribution of fuel subsidies to beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pasada Program as fuel prices rose for the 12th time this year. 

 

Less than a third or 115,000 PUV (public utility vehicle) drivers and operators have each received their P6,500 fuel subsidy from the government under the program, based on data from the lawmaker's office. 

 

The first tranche of the Pantawid Pasada was supposed to be released this month, Gatchalian said. Meanwhile, there is an upcoming second tranche of funds which is set to be released this April.
