The Department of Energy and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board partnered to implement a Fuel Discount Program for accredited public utility vehicle (PUV) operators in the Davao Region. The program provides a P12 per liter discount to qualified PUV operators, which they can avail of at participating gasoline stations. This discount is part of the Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport (Uplift), following a directive from President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. As of June 14, 2026, 58.47 percent of qualified PUV and UV operators in the region had availed of the discount.

Why it matters

The program functions as a subsidy intended to provide relief to the transport sector. The discount is available to operators who operate within the Davao Region. The leadership of the LTFRB noted that the discount had been increased from P10 per liter and is currently being pushed for further increases.
