MANILA – Arguing for its health benefits to Filipinos in long-term use, the Pollution Control Association of the Philippines has stressed the need to speed up the grant of incentives mostly needed to mainstream electric vehicles EVs.
“Electric Vehicles are critical technology to push forward the ‘decarbonization’ effort since this will allow us to have a more flexible option in its energy source… this can also minimize what I believe [is] a major issue of pollution in highly urbanized [communities],” Sebastian said. The shift to EVs is one of the solutions that the government is implementing to decarbonize the Philippines and help weaken the effects of climate change.
“Only more affluent Filipinos — indeed a limited segment of the population — can afford to buy four-wheel vehicles and hence enjoy these incentives… This is why the government must make these tax incentives more inclusive,” said Philippine Business for Environmental Stewardship Secretary General Felix Jose Vitangcol.
