SEAOIL has pledged anew to help the government in fighting the COVID-19 virus, this time giving free fuel worth more than PhP 400,000 for buses ferrying medical frontliners under the DOTr’s free shuttle service.
The DOTr has announced that 15 bus units participating in the program can avail of 50 liters of free fuel daily, which translates to a total of 13,500 liters.
“We are very grateful to Seaoil Philippines for providing fuel subsidies to the bus units of our free ride program. Malaking tulong po ito, hindi lang para sa amin, o sa mga bus, kundi makasisiguro rin tayo na maitataguyod natin ang serbisyo publiko para sa mga medical frontliners sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic,” DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade expressed.
The free ride for healthworkers program covers medical communities in the National Capital Region (NCR), as well as in regions 1, 2, 3, 4-A, 4-B, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, CAR, and CARAGA.
As of April 9, the free ride program already transported 35,873 health workers residing in NCR, and 87,702 from other regions, for a total of 123,575 medical workers.
This additional fuel donation is in line with SEAOIL’s active efforts in providing free fuel and discounts to hospitals, medical frontliners, transport groups and select LGUs.
