YQ on award ex manila?
I am looking at an award MNL-MAN with TK and when I search on the website there is availability but they are charging $250 taxes and fees (of which around $200 is YQ). I was under the impression that Philippines abolished YQ in 2015 and mate it illegal for airlines to charge them on their tickets. A revenue ticket on TK carries a $0 YQ. Is this a mistake on their award calculator?

Looks like a barrel of fuel is 65USD right now which should equal no fuel surcharge allowed ex MNL according to that article although it is only up to Sept 2019.
