Fuel allocation revoked except for emergency vehicles and those under the SP

We directed today the Department of General Services to, in the exigency of service, revoke the fuel allocation of all Cebu City Government vehicles.

The fuel allocation for vehicles assigned to our barangays and other government agencies is also covered by the revocation, which is contained in Memorandum No. 16-2024-0271-AM. 

There will be no disruption of government service because the fuel allocation intended for emergency vehicles such as ambulances, fire trucks, and garbage trucks, as well as vehicles assigned to the Sangguniang Panlungsod, is not touched by the memorandum. 

However, no new fuel allocation shall be given to government vehicles without the approval of my office. And those who wish to avail of fuel allocation can make a request letter stating the intended use of the vehicle and the volume of fuel needed. 

This is not the first time the City Government has had to revoke the fuel allocation of government vehicles to allow itself the opportunity to look at how resources are being used, vis-a-vis how it needs to be utilized. Likewise, systems are in place to assess and address subsequent requests for fuel.
