This ordinance, known as the “Fuel Price Impact Mitigation and Public Transport Promotion Ordinance of Naga City,” provides emergency financial relief to local transport workers in response to the global oil crisis of March 2026. It authorizes a one-time fuel subsidy of ₱2,000 for eligible drivers of franchised, fuel-powered tricycles operating within the city. To protect commuters, the measure strictly prohibits beneficiaries from increasing fares, with violations resulting in the immediate forfeiture of the assistance.
