The PN Roa Canitoan Transport Cooperative (PONTRASCO) in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines, has announced the suspension of its transport services effective April 6 due to escalating diesel prices, which have increased by ₱18.80 per liter amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Luzviminda Escobidal, the cooperative's president, stated that operations will remain halted until diesel prices stabilize and the government fulfills its promise of fuel and food subsidies. The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) confirmed that it will begin releasing these subsidies to affected drivers on April 8, with a list of 4,884 taxi drivers already submitted for assistance. Additionally, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will roll out a ₱5,000 cash grant for tricycle drivers in Northern Mindanao as part of its Cash Relief Assistance program. This assistance will be distributed across various regional centers, excluding Iligan City due to the lack of a local Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association.
