MANILA, Philippines — The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) has authorized the implementation of the second tranche of approved toll rate adjustments for Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway or SCTEX.
Starting Nov. 19, toll rates would go up by P0.64 per kilometer for Class 1 vehicles, P1.29 per km for Class 2 and P1.93 per km for Class 3.
This means an additional P25 for those traveling from Mabalacat City (Mabiga Interchange) to Tarlac using Class 1 vehicles, P50 for buses and small commercial trucks and P75 for large trucks and trailers.
Motorists traveling between Mabalacat City and Tipo, Hermosa, Bataan (near Subic Freeport) will be charged an additional P41, P81 and P121 for Class 1, 2 and 3 vehicles, respectively.
The additional rates are part of the approved periodic adjustments for SCTEX that were due in 2021 and 2023 but were deferred and divided into three tranches to help curb inflationary strains and ease the impact on expressway users.
The TRB authorized the implementation of the first tranche of approved toll adjustments on Oct. 17, 2023.
