Health workers can now use SLEX, Skyway, NAIAX, Star, and TPLEX for free
MANILA: Here’s another bonus for health workers in Luzon. San Miguel Corporation (SMC), parent company of SMC Infrastructure that manages several expressways in the country, announces that it is waiving toll fees for all medical frontliners.
These expressways are:
- South Luzon Expressway (SLEX)
- Skyway
- NAIAX
- STAR tollway
- Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX)
To avail of the toll-free privilege, medical personnel need to secure a special RFID sticker from SMC tollways, or have their existing RFID sticker converted. They can do this at temporary booths set up at Shell Magallanes gas station and the NAIAx toll gate between 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Other locations will be made available soon.
“This is the least we can do to show our appreciation and gratitude for our doctors and nurses who are working under extremely challenging circumstances to save lives. Considering the sacrifices they make on a daily basis, this is a small gesture. But nevertheless, we hope it helps make life a bit easier for them, and remind them that what they do for all us is deeply appreciated,” said SMC president Ramon S. Ang.
After travelers' presentation of their PRC license cards, SMC tollway personnel will install the toll-free RFID stickers on their vehicles or convert their existing stickers to toll-free stickers.
“We hope that with this program, our medical frontliners would have one less thing to worry about,” Ang added.
All medical personnel should also take advantage of the priority lanes along SLEX so they don’t encounter any delay going to their respective healthcare facilities. These lanes may also be used by vehicles transporting essential goods such as medical supplies and equipment as well as food and raw materials for food.
