The Department of Agriculture announced a new initiative to broaden toll‐rebate assistance for agricultural truckers, partnering with tollway operators to lower transport expenses for farm produce. This move comes as the peso slumped to a historic low of P63.06 per dollar, putting pressure on the cost of essential goods.
