众议院在二读阶段批准了一项法案,赋予马科斯总统特别权力,以暂停或降低燃料消费税,从而缓解中东冲突导致油价飙升的影响。该措施是政府更广泛努力的一部分,旨在保护菲律宾人免受商品价格潜在上涨的影响。与此同时,交通部正在研究公共交通票价可能的上涨。

2026年3月12日,众议院在二读阶段批准了众议院法案第8418号,授权费迪南德·马科斯 Jr.总统在国家和全球经济紧急情况下暂停或降低石油产品的消费税。众议院多数党领袖桑德罗·马科斯(与议长法斯蒂诺·迪三世一起为该法案作者之一)表示,该法案提供了一个“有节制的工具来缓冲冲击,具有明确的触发条件、明确限制和明确报告”,以保护菲律宾人免受燃料和基本商品价格突然上涨的影响。 暂停的触发条件包括迪拜原油价格连续一个月达到或超过每桶80美元,或宣布国家紧急状态导致加油站价格异常上涨,由能源部长认证。该权力限于六个月,除非国会延长,此后税款自动恢复。 在参议院,筹款委员会主席皮娅·卡耶塔诺参议员表示,类似措施原则上定于全体会议批准,最早可能下周一提出。财政部支持该措施,但财政部副部长卡洛·阿德里亚诺警告称,从5月至12月暂停该税将使政府损失1360亿披索收入,包括增值税损失。 与此同时,交通部长乔瓦尼·洛佩斯表示,陆运特许及监管局(LTFRB)正在研究因油价上涨而提出的票价上调请愿,但需要重新计算数字。运输团体Piston计划将吉普尼车票价从13披索临时上调2披索至15披索。为提供援助,社会福利与发展部(DSWD)将从下周开始向司机提供5000披索援助,农业部(DA)将向农民和渔民提供燃料补贴。 贸易工业部(DTI)还建议对基本生活必需品运输实施高速公路通行费暂停,并暂停政府在港口费中的份额,以防止商品价格上涨,据贸易部长克里斯蒂娜·罗克表示。
