00:00 [ANCHOR] In the face of the rise of massages in the jeep, there's good news that will meet our fellow countrymen commuters when November comes.
00:09 This is the return of free rides in the EDSA bus carousel and consolidated jeepneys in Metro Manila.
00:16 Until when? Find out in the news center of Karen Villanda Live.
00:24 [ANCHOR] As an early warning to passengers in the face of the rise of massages, LTFRB will return free rides in Metro Manila starting this November.
00:35 According to LTFRB, the Joint Memorandum Circular for the 1.3 billion pesos in the fund for the service contracting program this year has been signed.
00:47 The target is to implement it starting this November until December in the bus carousel and consolidated jeeps in Metro Manila.
00:55 Here is the statement of LTFRB Chair Guadis.
00:59 I can assure you that from November until December, we're looking for additional funds in the savings of the DOTR
01:09 so that by December 31 or at least first week of January, we can have coverage.
01:17 Number one, of course, our buses in the carousel.
01:20 Number two, those who organized as a cooperative.
01:26 They have priority here.
01:29 The cooperatives who not necessarily modernized, but those who organized themselves into a cooperative,
01:37 consolidated, they have priority here.
01:42 But the target is to be paid first.
01:45 Starting this Sunday, the operators who have not yet been paid for the service contracting program.
01:51 The LTFRB's holding fund is at 43 million pesos and it has not yet been distributed.
01:57 Meanwhile, LTFRB reminded drivers to print the order on the piece of provisional increase
02:04 and stick it to the jeeps so that they can start to get additional passengers.
02:09 It is also on the website of LTFRB.
02:11 Meanwhile, Guadis is also listening to the allegations against him about corruption and POV modernization.
02:19 Here is his statement.
02:21 I don't know as of this morning.
02:25 I'm in the office.
02:28 I don't know anything about that.
02:32 But if there is something, we will face it.
02:35 Our conscience is clean.
02:37 Angelic, according to LTFRB, they will try to ask for additional funds from the Department of Transportation
02:46 for the service contracting program.
02:48 So that there will be free rides for our countrymen in the province.
02:53 Angelic.
02:54 Yes, okay.
02:55 Karen, you mentioned the POV modernization.
02:59 How is this?
03:00 Did there be a reprieve for the smaller operators or jeepney drivers
03:06 that cannot organize as a cooperative?
03:11 What is their future?
03:14 Yes, Angelic.
03:18 As of now, the most updated is that 70% of public utility vehicles in the Philippines are consolidated.
03:27 This is the first thing that the government is asking for, Angelic.
03:30 For the public utility operators to consolidate and join the cooperative or corporation.
03:37 So that there will be a system and the boundary system will be removed.
03:42 That is the deadline, December 31.
03:44 As of now, Angelic, for those who are struggling to form a cooperative,
03:49 there is an equity subsidy that the government is giving them.
03:54 And as of now, the LTFRP is trying to increase it.
04:00 The latest news is that it is at P180,000 per unit.
04:05 What is being given to each cooperative as of now,
04:08 they will not have a hard time buying a new modernized unit.
04:12 But remember, Angelic, what the government is asking for now
04:17 is to consolidate our public transportation first
04:21 and then to modernize their units.
04:26 Okay, thank you very much, Karen Villanda.
