NEWS ALERT: Isko Moreno thanks PBBM for ₱5,000 cash aid for Manila transport sector amid global oil shock
Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso on Tuesday, March 17, expressed gratitude to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as the national government began distributing ₱5,000 cash relief assistance to tricycle drivers in Metro Manila to help ease the impact of rising oil prices driven by tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking at the ASAC Covered Court in Manila, one of several distribution sites across the National Capital Region, Domagoso said the assistance would help ease the financial burden faced by transport workers amid rising fuel prices.
“Nagpapasalamat tayo kay Presidente, napakalaking bagay nito para sa ating mga driver, maibsan itong hinaharap nilang suliranin dahil sa presyo ng gas,” Domagoso said.
“I’m very grateful, on behalf of the people of Manila, particularly transport sector, taos-puso ang pasasalamat namin kay Pangulong Marcos,” he added
