Community pantries have reappeared in the Philippines to support drivers and commuters affected by a severe fuel price spike, while transport group Manibela has called for P10,000 in monthly cash assistance for public utility vehicle drivers instead of a one-time payout.

A transport group, Manibela, reported that jeepney drivers are losing P400 daily, half of their income, following a massive fuel price hike, stating that current subsidies are insufficient.
