Inaprubahan ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) nitong Huwebes ang kahilingan ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) na ipagpatuloy ang pamamahagi nito ng fuel subsidies para sa mga driver at operator.
“We granted the petition of the LTFRB as regards to the fuel subsidy program,” sinabi ni Commissioner George Erwin Garcia sa isang press briefing.
Gayunpaman, sinabi ng commissioner na ang grant ay napapailalim sa ilang mga kundisyon.
“However, the grant of the petition to LTFRB is subject to the strict implementation of the program, resubmission of information on how the project will be implemented, the parameters of implementation, and especially the specific target beneficiaries on how they will apply to avail of the grants of the program, and likewise subject to submission of the different departments that would be implementing the said program of the LTFRB — from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of Social Welfare and Development and such other departments,” dagdag niya.
Sinabi ni Garcia na kailangang hintayin ng LTFRB ang resolusyon ng poll body para makasunod sila sa mga kondisyon.
