The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has added Maya as a digital channel to distribute the new fuel subsidy to public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers in the Philippines, as reported by TechNode Global and The Manila Times.

The partnership allows public transport operators to receive their government financial assistance directly into their digital wallets.

Authorities aim to accelerate the distribution process and provide a more efficient alternative to traditional cash disbursements.

Using a digital channel ensures that drivers can access their funds immediately to cope with rising operational costs.

Recipients can use the application to pay for petroleum products seamlessly at partner gas stations across the country.

This integration highlights the growing reliance on digital financial services to deliver essential government support programmes securely and transparently.
