LTFRB to distribute Pantawid Pasada fuel cards Aug. 7-11

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) announced that it will distribute the Pantawid Pasada fuel cards to jeepney drivers and operators starting on Tuesday.

In an advisory on Monday, the regulatory board said the distribution will resume on Tuesday, August 7 until Saturday, August 11 at the central office of the Land Transportation Office in Quezon City.

Drivers and operators are asked to bring any valid government-issued identification card and its photocopy, and a 1 x 1 ID photo when claiming their fuel cards.

The LTFRB suspended last week the distribution of the fuel subsidy cards due to technical issues encountered by Landbank of the Philippines.
