President Rodrigo Duterte approved a law giving 20% discount to students on all modes of public transport including air and ship fares.
Republic Act 11314 provides for a 20-percent student discount for regular domestic fares of all kinds of public transportation utilities including buses, jeepneys, taxis and tricycles, passenger trains, aircraft and marine vessels for the entire time that they are enrolled.
Student discounts are being implemented but only limited to land transportation.
Students should present a valid identification card or enrollment form.
Discount for airlines will only be applied to base fare or the price of tickets before taxes.
Students who can avail the discount are those from elementary, secondary, technical and vocational, or higher education institution.
Graduate degree students, short-term courses or driving students are excluded from the discount provision.
The law also prohibits availing of double discounts.
