Business Mirror
|March 19, 2026
Zambles 1st District Representative and House Deputy Speaker Jefferson "Jay" F. Khonghun has filed a bill last Wednesday seeking the reduction of tollway fees as the government seeks measures to reduce the impact of surging oil prices.
House Bill (HB) 8652, or the proposed "Tollway Fee Reduction Act," seeks to provide "immediate and sustained relief" to motorists through a phased reduction of tollway fees that would culminate in a 70-percent decrease within five years.
Under this proposal, there will be a 50-percent cut in toll fees in the first year of implementation, followed by a 20-percent reduction in the succeeding year.
The proposal covers Class 3 vehicles transporting essential goods and commodities, public utility vehicles engaged in passenger transport and vehicles traveling during off-peak hours.
