linked by Ro-Ro vessels; and”
SECTION 2. Section 3 of Executive Order No. 170 is hereby amended by adding thereto a new paragraph which shall read as follows: “The
RRTS toll shall be applicable to:
a.
All self-powered vehicles loaded and discharged on their own wheels by
their owners or drivers between vessel and shore via a ramp; and
b. All vessels to the extent that they are actually engaged in Ro-Ro operations.” SECTION 3. The Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) are hereby directed to formulate and submit for the approval of the President an incentive program for Ro-Ro vessel and terminal operators in pioneering, missionary, developmental or underdeveloped routes or links. SECTION 4. Within fifteen (15) days from the effectivity of this Executive Order, the DOTC shall, after due consultation, issue the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations for Executive Order No. 170, as amended.
