In a Facebook post last Friday, Jacque Manabat reminded that it is the money of people that is used for the program of free ride from Department of Transportation.
Whether you avail of the free ride or not. Whether you live in Metro Manila or not. It’s our taxes working. It’s proper that we ask and demand that our taxes be used well,” she says.
Last July 1, Marcos Administration implemented the free ride or libreng sakay sa EDSA Bus Carousel while students can avail free ride on MRT-3, LRT-2 at Philippine National Railway (PNR) from August 22 to November 4.
Manabat reminded, “Check your receipts, dear. Everytime we purchase, part of it goes to tax. It goes to the construction of bridges, schools, health services, public officials’ trips and salary, and more.”
It is a privilege in your country.
