Abstract

With the traditional ways of public transportation in the Philippines, the current transportation system has been deemed inconvenient to daily commuters and public utility operators - traffic congestion, lack of public vehicles for commuters resulting into longer transportation time and hassle rides, and the environmental problems that arises in the continuity of using polluting gas are the main reasons as to why Filipinos continue to demand for a better transport system. The rise of modern transportation promises effective solutions to address the recurring problem stated above. This study examines the implementation of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) on the employment of PUV drivers, especially the small operators who do not have the capacity to upgrade their vehicles. With the goal of the proposed program, this study aims to analyze and determine the significant effect of PUVMP to the employment of PUV drivers in the Philippines. The employment of PUV drivers decreased because of the ongoing health crisis, and there was a significant difference in the number of traditional PUV units since the modernized units are inadequate

Abstract

Until 2010, the Indonesian cocoa exports had been dominated by cocoa beans, which led the government to stimulate the processing industry by implementing cocoa export tax policy. This study will investigate the impact of the tax tariff policy on the supply and demand of cocoa beans in Indonesia. The imposed ad valorem tariff of Indonesia cocoa beans will be investigated in order to know whether the domestic market is ready or not to absorb the quantity supply of cocoa beans, when the export demand quantity declines. This study aims to determine the impact of cocoa export trading policy on the competitiveness of cocoa beans as well as the integration of cocoa prices. Moreover, this research will further discuss if the export tax policy has no impact on the integration of domestic and international cocoa markets.
