President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reiterated that the government will continue to support the transport sector amid the ongoing oil price hikes driven by global tensions.

In his latest vlog released Sunday, Marcos acknowledged the concerns of transport groups and protesters affected by rising fuel costs, assuring them that the government remains responsive to their calls.

“Pero gusto kong ulitin sa inyo, hindi kayo maiiwan. Hindi kayo pababayaan ng pamahalaan,” the President said, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to drivers and operators.

Marcos noted that fuel subsidies and financial assistance programs are being rolled out to help ease the burden on public utility drivers, as part of broader government interventions.

He also highlighted ongoing efforts to cushion the impact of inflation, including close monitoring of market prices and the expansion of the KADIWA ng Pangulo initiative, which provides affordable goods to consumers.

Additionally, the administration is coordinating with various sectors to stabilize fuel supply and explore long-term solutions to address the effects of global oil market volatility.

The President’s statement comes as transport groups continue to call for increased support, with many drivers grappling with reduced income due to rising fuel prices and operational costs.
