MANILA, Philippines — Pollution Control Association of the Philippines (PCAPI), an environmental group, has emphasized the urgency of improving air quality in the country and stated that transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) would accelerate the nation's decarbonization efforts. PCAPI's statement came in response to National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan's announcement that Executive Order No. 12 series of 2023 will undergo review by February 2024, following concerns raised by stakeholders in the EV industry regarding the exclusion of e-motorcycles from tax breaks.
