00:00 In the face of high prices for some oil products, some transport groups revived the call for high passenger-wing rush hour or surge fee.
00:12 The Department of Transportation assured that the drivers have a fuel subsidy.
00:17 Here's the latest news from Karen Villanda live.
00:21 We have a target.
00:25 So, they are planning to add a liter of diesel tomorrow and a liter of gas.
00:31 That's why, now, some drivers and tricycle drivers are already fighting.
00:37 But next, the government will prepare the distribution of aid under the fund of the fuel subsidy program.
00:44 The free pesos and 50 cents increased last week.
00:51 The previous 500 pesos for the load of Nestoro increased to 600 pesos.
00:57 Now, what he earns in a day is not more than 500 pesos.
01:02 And now, someone is budgeting almost 4 pesos more for every liter of diesel tomorrow.
01:08 He doesn't know what kind of discount he will get.
