MANILA, Philippines — The distribution of smartcards granting fuel subsidies to jeepney drivers will start today.
In Metro Manila, the giving out of fuel cards will be conducted at Camp Crame Grandstand in Quezon City, where more than 60,000 jeepney drivers are expected to troop.
The P450 million undertaking, otherwise known as Pantawid Pasada or Public Transport Assistance Program (PTAP), aimed to cushion the impact of continuing increases in fuel prices in the world market.
It intends to provide a one-time help of P1,050 to legitimate jeepney operators while P150 to their tricycle counterparts, numbering to about 1,285,714 units.
In a guideline, the Department of Energy (DOE) said only legitimate franchise holders with valid and updated Land Transportation Office (LTO) registrations shall be entitled to the card.
For tricycle drivers, their host local government units are requested to furnish the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) with the detailed list of legitimate tricycle franchise holders in their respective localities.
To support the drive of ensuring that only legitimate public utility jeepney franchise holders are entitled to use the cards, petroleum retail outlets are enjoined to verify that the plate number of the public utility jeepney corresponds to the plate number that appeared on the card.
Gasoline stations have the right to refuse the card for fuel purchases by any public utility jeepney whose plate number does not match the plate number indicated on the card.
But militant transport group Piston chided the DOE for the manner of distribution of the smartcards.
Piston secretary general George San Mateo claimed that despite the one month preparation, the DOE could only grant 3,000 fuel subsidy cards to an estimated 215,000 jeepney units nationwide.
“Iisang lugar lang ito ipapamahagi, dun sa (Camp) Crame (Quezon City) na magdudulot pa ng pahirap sa mga operators na magmumula sa malayong lugar,” San Mateo said.
In Metro Manila, San Mateo noted that there are around 65,000 franchised jeepney units, translating to less than 10 percent of the 3,000 smartcards to be distributed today.
He said the DOE has yet to announce the schedule of the distribution of the smartcards to the operators.
Earlier, some transport organizations like Fejodap and Pasang Masda have already submitted the list of their franchised units to the DOE for the smartcards.(With Dennis Carcamo)

if were showing the fuel station pump clerk that the bottled water you had brought in was something you didnt need to purchase..and btw, had the top off and threw water all over their credit card machine..how most would react and what if customer said.. Dam sorry,,if you have towel i will wipe it up"…? and why?..
how would differ this situation maybe in Britain from USA? and why?
I work behind a till (not at a petrol station, no difference!) and if someone accidentally spilled something on my till or over the atm I wouldn’t really care. I’d just wipe it off. Not like they threw it on me on purpose.
I guess your person was having a bad day – I was working yesterday, there is no extra pay for people who work on Easter Sunday! Puts some people in a really bad mood.
Thermo King Unveiled Three Innovative Solutions to Help Customers Improve Operational Efficiency and Drive Down Costs at the 2011 Mid-America Trucking Show
At the world’s largest trucking show, Thermo King announced new products to help customers become more successful
As transporters continue to face a number of significant challenges in their operations, a key issue top of mind with most companies is the price of diesel fuel — which has already risen more than 20 percent this year alone.
At the 2011 Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky., Thermo King, a manufacturer of temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, demonstrated once again that it understands the current challenges its customers are facing and unveiled three new solutions to help address rising fuel costs.
Doug Lenz, director of transport product management at Thermo King, announced three new solutions to help customers do more with limited resources by spending less money and delivering higher quality goods to customers.
Thermo King built the new and innovative solutions around the specific needs of its customers to help them be successful at maximizing uptime, improving efficiency and reducing costs. While the new product innovations are designed to improve fuel efficiency, they also deliver additional environmental improvements due to a reduction in diesel emission.
Thermo King also was proud to donate one of its TriPace APU systems to David Acosta, the winner of this year’s “Back on the Road” contest announced at the Mid-America Trucking show. “Back on the Road” honors a trucker who has triumphed over his or her unfortunate circumstances. In addition to the TriPace APU, prizes include a 2007 Volvo VNL 780 truck, insurance, fuel cards and other goods and services as well as a one-year work agreement with Heartland Express.
In addition to announcing the new products, April Braun, aftermarket marketing director at Thermo King, presented: “10 Easy Ways to Save Money Now,” which highlights simple steps fleet owners and operators can take to put more money in their pockets by increasing the operational efficiency and sustainability of their fleets.
