LTFRB Region 7 urges drivers to meet fuel subsidy deadline by March 23
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Region 7 has called on drivers and operators to finalise their applications for the fuel subsidy program. With the deadline set for Monday, March 23, 2026, officials are pushing for full compliance to ensure timely disbursement of funds.
Applicants must submit all required details and confirm their e-wallet accounts are active by the given date. The LTFRB 7 has stressed that incomplete submissions will delay or disqualify claims. To assist with the process, drivers and operators are advised to work closely with their transport service entities or operators when preparing documents.
The subsidy distribution will be simplified to avoid lengthy processing times. Beneficiaries can opt to receive funds either through their e-wallet or a registered bank account. All applications must be sent via email, following a specific subject line format outlined by the board. As of March 20, 2026, no official figures have been released on how many drivers or operators in the region have fully complied. The deadline remains three days away, leaving time for last-minute submissions.
The fuel subsidy aims to provide direct financial relief to eligible transport workers. Successful applicants will receive funds quickly once their details are verified. The LTFRB 7 continues to monitor submissions ahead of the March 23 cutoff.
