The government of the Philippines has announced a 2.5 billion Peso (US$47m) relief fund to subsidise fuel costs for public utility vehicles, taxis, tricycles, ride-hailing apps and delivery services.
The fuel subsidies will provide welcome relief as drivers are facing significant increases in the cost of petrol and diesel.
Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began on the 24th February, the price of crude oil jumped from around $90 a barrel to $124 in two weeks.
