Transcript
00:00 The LTFRB and Grupong Piston's talks will continue in the POV Modernization Program.
00:05 Let's update on the spot with Mackie Pulido.
00:08 Mackie.
00:09 You know, Raffy, LTFRB said that they are ready to adjust to the requests of Grupong Piston
00:19 so that the three-day transport strike that they have been asked to stop can be stopped.
00:24 So, the three doables, according to Celine Pialago, she is the spokesperson of LTFRB,
00:30 the first one is to waive the penalties, which they call confirmation fees.
00:35 This is what Jeepney operators pay to LTFRB before their vehicles can register in LTO.
00:42 So, there are operators who already have penalties because they were not paid.
00:47 So, instead of P1,000, their annual confirmation fee,
00:51 the penalties reach P5,000 to P10,000.
00:54 Second, the extension of the franchise from one year to five years.
00:58 However, they need to file a petition to modernize.
01:02 And third, to revisit or discuss the omnibus franchising guidelines.
01:07 According to LTFRB, the non-negotiable is the creation of a cooperative.
01:13 It is a basic requirement in modernization.
01:17 But the process is simplified.
01:19 As long as they file before the deadline of December 31.
01:23 According to Pialago, there is no pressure to modernize the Jeep when 2024 comes.
01:29 These can still be passed as long as they pass the road worthiness test of LTO.
01:34 It can be done even without a weak modernization petition.
01:38 But this is while the number of Jeeps in a route is not yet complete.
01:42 Only 50 Jeeps in a route.
01:46 Pistons and LTFRB will discuss this later in the afternoon to revisit the franchising guidelines.
01:51 LTFRB will just give an update.
01:54 According to Pialago, they want to pass the Pistons
01:57 because this is the only remaining large transport group that does not join the modernization.
02:02 So, if the compliance is at 60%,
02:06 the compliance will reach 75% to 80% if they pass the Pistons that joined the modernization.
02:14 So, the requests of the Pistons and LTFRB are not yet finalized.
02:21 The group of Manibela will be reunited on the 3-day stop-pass starting tomorrow.
02:27 According to Marvel Buena, 400 routes in Metro Manila are affected
02:31 and 150,000 vehicles will be affected.
02:35 Whatever LTFRB says, it's just a rumor.
02:39 What it still wants to say is to phase out the traditional Jeepneys.
02:43 Manibela wants to remove the deadline of December 31
02:47 to file a petition for modernization.
02:50 Even if they don't file, they will get back their 5-year franchise.
02:55 They say that simplifying the process is just a rumor
02:59 because what will still happen here is the Jeepney phase-out.
03:03 Rafi?
03:04 Thank you very much, Mackie Pulido.
