MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government on Friday directed all local chief executives to submit a validated list of qualified tricycle drivers to the DILG regional offices in preparation for another round of fuel subsidy.

The lists are expected on or before April 26 for the Pantawid Pasada Program spearheaded by the Department of Transportation and the Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board, the DILG said in a statement sent to reporters Friday.

DILG Secretary Eduardo Año said this directive was meant to expedite the process of aiding tricycle drivers "whose meager income is further cut by the recent oil price hikes."
