More than 1,000 taxi drivers received fuel subsidy payouts on Saturday.
According to a “24 Oras Weekend” report, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chairman Atty. Vigor Mendoza II said the day’s operations were faster and smoother.
On Friday, it was reported that several taxi drivers were not included in the beneficiary lists submitted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
In response, authorities divided the payout system into two lines.
Drivers included in the DSWD list received their payouts through the LTFRB, while those not on the list were accommodated by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
In a report by Luisito Santos, the number of drivers at the LTO Central Office Activity Center reached 2,650 as of 3 p.m.

Many had been lining up since morning, with some enduring the heat along Maglang Street and East Avenue in Quezon City as of 1 p.m.
The LTFRB said more than P98 million in fuel subsidies have been distributed to taxi operators and drivers nationwide so far.
Authorities added that the processing of additional subsidies and cash assistance is being expedited.—Jiselle Anne C. Casucian/MCG, GMA News
