Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In that case, then, why do we call it a fuel tax? Why do we not just raise the income tax or raise other taxes? If we are going to apply it to fuel and only on highways, I do not understand the purpose of it. Why is it called a fuel tax if it is not used for the purpose of maintenance of highways?
