Transcript

00:00Some businessmen are happy that the toll rebates will be implemented for those who travel with agricultural products.

00:11Bernard Ferrer was surprised.

00:15Ethene is happy to know that there will be rebates starting June 1 for tolls, just like those who travel with agricultural products.

00:22This is a big thing because it reaches up to Php 1,000,

00:25It is spent on SLEX, NLEX, and Skyway,

00:29to bring products from Port Area, Manila, to Balintawa, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Calamba, Binan, Laguna, Imos, Cavite, and Malolos, Bulacan.

00:39The toll rate is heavy for us.

00:42But we need to travel fast.

00:47We need to fight this. It's time.

00:49But Ethene believes that the price of agricultural products will not decrease.

00:54Yes, the price will not decrease.

00:56But your expenses, your salary, your food allowance, you can allocate the money there.

01:05AgriTrucks' goal is to reduce the inflationary impact of toll fees on agricultural commodities.

01:11The rebate received is equivalent to the toll hike implemented since June 2023.

01:16There are 200 to 300 vehicles that travel with agricultural products that benefit from the program.

01:22It will take three months to study if it is needed for transportation.

01:27To qualify for the program, the Agriculture Department must be accredited and have a valid Autosweep or Easy Trip RFID account.
