President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. stated that his administration will provide subsidies to vulnerable sectors and take steps to reduce prices and support the Filipino people. An inter-agency committee led by Marcos will address inflation and market outlooks while overseeing the government’s response to rising prices. The Transfer Certificate Title (TCT) program will grant cash transfers to beneficiaries such as members of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), low-wage earners, senior citizens, farmers, fisherfolk, and those in the transport sector. Additional subsidies include fertilizer discount vouchers, fuel discounts for farmers and fisherfolk, and fuel subsidies for the transport sector affected by the Russia-Ukraine war. These measures aim to alleviate financial struggles for low-income families amidst increasing costs of goods due to global oil price surge. The government expects to fund these programs through improved tax collections and plans to implement them nationwide.
