President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the local government units to stop collecting 'pass-through fees' to improve the transportation of goods across the country.
MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the local government units to stop collecting "pass-through fees" to improve the transportation of goods across the country.
“In the interest of public welfare, all LGUs are further strongly urged to suspend or discontinue the collection of fees such as, but not limited to, sticker fees, discharging fees, delivery fees, market fees, toll fees, entry fees, or Mayor’s Permit fees, that are imposed upon all motor vehicles transporting goods and passing through any local public roads constructed and funded by said LGUs,” the EO read.
“In order to uphold the welfare and advance the best interest of the Filipino people, it is the overarching policy of the Administration to consolidate all essential components within the value and supply chain, and reduce the costs of food logistics, which play a pivotal role in effectively tempering the inflation rate in the country,” the EO said.
The Department of Interior and Local Government will collect copies of existing LGU ordinances about pass-through fees within 30 days. Other government agencies will review these ordinances to make sure they follow the law.
