Cagayan de Oro City just got a much-needed fuel subsidy wave, and taxi drivers are breathing easier. On April 8, a total of 281 taxi drivers in Cagayan de Oro City received P5,000 each as part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to help transport workers battling rising fuel prices. The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Region 10 (LTFRB-10) led the charge under the Department of Transportation (DOTr) program.
Moreover, the initial batch grabbed their cash right away. Those not on the list got a clear nudge: open a GCash or Maya account so the money flows straight to them. LTFRB-10 Regional Director Alexes Joseph Bendijo made sure everyone heard the plan loud and clear.

Bendijo also announced that taxi operators will pocket P2,000 each to keep their daily operations humming smoothly. This creative support keeps wheels turning even when pump prices bite hard. Consequently, drivers feel the direct impact on their pockets and routes.
Furthermore, recipient Nestor Visto shared his relief: the P5,000 will ease fuel expenses amid tough times. He thanked LTFRB and hoped for bigger solutions to the fuel problem. As a result, the program builds real hope on the ground.
LTFRB-10 promises more distributions through on-site cash and electronic transfers. Drivers struggling with e-wallets can simply visit the office for quick help. Thus, the subsidy keeps flowing to those who need it most in Cagayan de Oro City.
