Notes:
1. Costing was based on initial daily round trip (RT) rate of Php 2,500.00 for the first 0-24KM and a subsequent increment of PhpPhp29.7619 per additional kilometer in excess of the first 24KM. This rate was based on a round trip van hire for Liminangcong @Php5,000.00.
2. Daily Rate means that the van was hired round trip for a maximum of eight hours. Beyond such time, an hourly rate of Php 300.00 will apply on top of the daily rate. Overnight rate will be charged with 50% of the daily rate.
3. For easier accounting, rates with fractions of less than Php100.00 were rounded off to the nearest hundred e.g. for Pulariquen, the computed rate is Php2,976.19, this was rounded off to Php3,000.00 while for Silanga, the computed rate is Php4,404.76, hence rounded to Php4,400.00.
4. Passengers coming from Apulit Island Resort and Other Resorts from Taytay Bay and Malampaya Sound must utilize local tourist vans registered in Taytay, Palawan for ferrying their guests outbound of Taytay. Only in cases where there are no available local vans will non-Taytay registered vans be allowed to pick up outbound guests. For inbound guests, they may choose which ever transport they prefer depending on the origin of their guests.
5. Above rates were computed as of February 15, 2022 fuel price (Diesel: Php64.60, Regular Gasoline: Php76.76, and Unleaded Gasoline Php77.76) Should there be an increase in fuel cost of at least Php10.00 per liter, the legislated rental rate will be increased by supplementing it with an add-on rate that will be computed using the following formula:
Sample Computation for Poblacion to Abongan (Ibangley) with a Php3,500.00 RT Rate and a fuel increase of Php10.00.
Fuel Cost Increase Adjusted Rate will then be equal to Legislated Rate + Add on rate (AOR)
= Php3,500.00 + Php350.00
= Php3,850.00
