More than 1,686 total registered tricycle operators from January to July 2011 were given tricycle transport fuel subsidy under Pres. Aquino’s Public Transport Assistance Program last July 13, 2011.
City Mayor Patrick Escalante thanked the tricycle drivers and operators for their cooperation in securing their franchise and business permits on time. He also commended DILG Officer Danilo Geroso for facilitating the financial assistance from region 6, Iloilo City.
The fuel subsidy is an urgent intervention aimed at cushioning the impact of high fuel prices on the marginalized sectors of the society. Each operator has received P150.00.
City officials who assisted during the distribution were Vice Mayor Samson Mirhan, ABC President and CFRB Chairman Arthur Lamis, councilors Wilfredo Cervantes, Marcelo Metuda, Vicente William Tabanao and Juan Musa, City Treasurer Ma.Cristina Fuentes and staff, DILG Officer Danilo Geroso and Barangay Affairs personnel./*
