Vice President lenirobredo is calling on the government again to suspend the excise tax on fuel products as high oil prices threaten other sectors, not just transportation
During her weekly radio show, Robredo stressed that she has been pushing for the proposal amid the rising prices of basic goods and services even before the current steady rise in pump prices.
[Translation: In 2018, we were already calling for the suspension of the excise tax on fuel, perhaps because we are in opposition, they're taking it the wrong way.] Republic Act 10963 or the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion law raised the excise tax on petroleum products in three tranches from 2018 to 2020, increasing duties to ₱10 per liter of gasoline, ₱6 per liter for diesel, and ₱5 per liter of kerosene.
