LANDBANK is enabling the efficient and secure digital processing of the ₱10-per-liter fuel subsidy for public utility vehicles (PUVs)—specifically for public utility jeepneys (PUJs) and UV Express units—under the National Government’s ₱10-Per-Liter Fuel Subsidy Program, with real-time verification and recording of transactions at participating gasoline stations in Metro Manila.
The program provides immediate relief to PUVs drivers and operators facing higher fuel costs, while helping keep transport fares affordable for commuters. Eligible PUVs may avail of the subsidy directly at participating stations through LANDBANK’s digital system, which ensures faster transactions and transparent, traceable records for gas station partners.
To ensure accurate validation of qualified PUVs and participating fuel outlets, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and the Department of Energy (DOE) provide LANDBANK with the lists of eligible PUVs and gas stations, respectively, which are uploaded into the system. This ensures that only qualified drivers or operators and accredited stations can transact under the subsidy program.
“Through our digital systems, we are making sure that the fuel subsidy is applied accurately, transparently, and without delay. This allows drivers to immediately benefit from the subsidy while ensuring proper accountability for government funds,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
Gas station personnel use the Fuel Subsidy System, accessible via the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App, to enter the station code, plate number, liters dispensed, and pump amount, which the platform checks in real-time against the validated list of authorized PUVs, and fuel stations, minimizing errors and preventing unauthorized claims.
Once the details are confirmed, the system applies the ₱10-per-liter subsidy and updates the vehicle’s weekly limit. LANDBANK generates end-of-day and consolidated reports that serve as the basis for timely reimbursement to gasoline station partners.
“With the convergence of these government agencies, in one-week time, na-rollout ang isang bagong programa ng gobyerno para sa pangangailangan ng ating transportation sector. It is a good demonstration of the whole-of-government approach, because if we all work together, we can make things happen,” said DOE Secretary Sharon S. Garin.
“Kung wala ang LANDBANK, wala ito. The IT component of this program looks simple, but we understand the back-end work that has to be done in order to get this running within just a few days,” said LTFRB Chairperson Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II.
