₱10/liter fuel subsidy expands nationwide; over 28,000 PUVs get ₱27.5-M in discounts

The National Government has expanded the ₱10-Per-Liter Fuel Subsidy Program nationwide following its successful pilot implementation in Metro Manila, powered by LANDBANK’s digital subsidy system.

Since the pilot launch on 13 April 2026, LANDBANK has facilitated ₱27.5 million in fuel discounts for more than 28,000 public utility jeepney (PUJ) and UV Express drivers who transacted at participating gasoline stations as of 21 May 2026.

The initiative supports the UPLIFT (Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport) Program of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., which aims to cushion essential sectors from rising fuel costs while sustaining livelihoods and mobility services.

Fuel stations nationwide are now participating in the program, enabling qualified public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers to avail of the ₱10-per-liter discount.

Qualified PUV drivers may receive up to ₱1,500 in weekly fuel discounts, which is automatically replenished every Monday to ensure continuous assistance. Drivers can confirm if they are included in the program by coordinating with their transport cooperative or operator, or by checking the official Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) list through its website.

To avail of the subsidy, qualified drivers simply need to proceed to any participating fuel station and inform the attendant that they will use the fuel subsidy. Upon validation of the PUV’s plate number and subsidy eligibility through the Fuel Subsidy System, the ₱10-per-liter discount is automatically deducted from the total fuel purchase, eliminating the need for cash transactions or physical vouchers. The platform enables real-time validation and seamless subsidy application through a centralized database.

The nationwide Fuel Subsidy Program is implemented through a whole-of-government approach, with LANDBANK supporting the Department of Energy (DOE), the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the LTFRB, and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) through secure digital processing that enables efficient and reliable subsidy delivery.

LANDBANK remains committed to advancing digital financial solutions that strengthen government service delivery, ensuring that critical assistance programs reach Filipinos faster, more transparently, and at scale.
