As fuel prices rise, Filipinos are hit twiceโby higher pump prices and increasing VAT. This added burden comes at a time when many families are already struggling.
We call for the immediate imposition of a cap on fuel VAT to prevent excessive taxation during periods of high oil prices. This measure will provide much-needed relief to transport workers, farmers, fisherfolk, and ordinary Filipino families.
In times of crisis, taxation must be fair, compassionate, and responsive to the needs of the people.
