(Taguig City) Department of Energy (DOE) is nearing the end of reloading Pantawid Pasada cards when it announces that it has finished reloading cards associated with jeepney plates ending in "6" and "7."

Beneficiaries may now use their cards in participating gas stations nationwide.  Pantawid Pasada Cards associated with jeepneys with plate numbers ending in "0" to "5" have earlier been reloaded.

The DOE notes that it will need only to reload cardholders whose PUJs’ plate number end with “8” and “9” in the coming weeks.

Only jeepneys with Pantawid Pasada cards claimed before December 31, 2011 and have been loaded with the initial amount of P1,050.00 within the same timeframe (May 2011 to December 2011), can now enjoy the P1,200.00 reload using their Pantawid Pasada cards.

The DOE highlights that this reloading is in line with President Aquino’s announcement in February 2012.  The temporary program is envisioned to alleviate the drivers who continue to face continued oil price hikes.   

Pantawid Pasada cardholders may call the contact numbers at the back of the card:             (02) 840-22-67       or they may call the DOE Trunkline 479-2900 local 329 if they have questions regarding their load.
