(Eagle News)—–House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr. on Saturday, Dec. 22, said the House of Representatives would heed President Rodrigo Duterte’s call for the Road Board to be abolished.
In a radio interview, Andaya said there should be “real abolition” of the board, which determines where the motor vehicle users’ charge goes.
The MVUC is paid by motorists upon registration of their vehicles.
According to Andaya, the proceeds “need to be included as a line-item fund in the annual budget” of the Department of Public Works and Highways in the General Appropriations Act.
He said in this manner, “the real and full funding level of the DPWH is reflected clearly, unlike today when MVUC spending is segregated and treated as a non-national budget expenditure.”
