フィリピン農業省は、少なくとも5,000人の農家に対し、追加で2,500万ペソの燃料支援を配布する予定です。
農業省は、先に割り当てられた1億5,000万ペソおよび100億ペソ規模の支援プログラムに加え、今回の追加資金を交付する計画です。農業省のアーネル・デ・メサ報道官は6月3日、予算管理省が2,500万ペソの特別配分リリース命令（SARO）を発出したことを明らかにしました。現金がリリースされ次第、配布が開始されます。デ・メサ氏は、農家が現在農地の準備や作付けを行っており、機械の使用頻度が高い時期であるため緊急性が高いと強調しました。また、当初の1億5,000万ペソでは不十分であり、中東情勢の影響によるコスト上昇に対応するため、同省がさらに300億ペソを要求していたことも付け加えました。関連する要請についての公聴会は、最近の指導部交代やその他の出来事により中断されています。
