HB04571: AN ACT ABOLISHING THE BAGUIO-BONTOC HALSEMA HIGHWAY NATIONAL TOLL ROAD AND TERMINATING COLLECTION OF TOLL FEES THERETO
This bill proposes to abolish the Baguio-Bontoc Halsema Highway National Toll Road and terminate the collection of toll fees. It argues that motorists are being double-charged as they also pay the Motor Vehicle User's Charge (MVUC).
The bill aims to reduce the financial burden on commuters and businesses, particularly indigenous peoples and farmers transporting agricultural products. It also seeks to prevent the domino effect of toll fees on the prices of goods and services.
