Distribution of fuel subsidy cards to begin on May 2

THE Department of Energy (DOE) will distribute some 200,000 fuel assistance cards beginning May 2 although less than half of the intended beneficiaries have lined up for the program so far.

Energy Secretary Rene Almendras said legitimate public utility jeepneys (PUJ) in Metro Manila will be the first to avail of the subsidy based on a list that would be submitted by various transport groups to the energy department.
