00:00 They are worried about the life of their jeepney driver who did not join the PUV modernization.

00:07 They explained that even if they want to join the program, they cannot pay the expensive modern jeepney.

00:14 Live from Baclaran, we have the first news, Darlene Cai.

00:17 Darlene.

00:22 Several drivers and jeepneys here in Baclaran did not reach the December 31 deadline of consolidation as part of the PUV modernization program.

00:31 They are not sure what will happen to them.

00:34 What they are sure of now is that they need to eat and earn money.

00:38 So for now, they will continue their journey.

00:41 If the new year brings hope for many, it will be a burden for many jeepneys.

00:51 The deadline is at the same time of the end of 2023

00:54 so that they can submit an application for consolidation as part of the PUV modernization program.

01:01 Here in Baclaran, there are some who did not reach the deadline.

01:05 One of them is the driver operator, Joel.

01:08 He did not get his papers immediately.

01:10 I fell down.

01:12 I could not get my papers from my operator

01:18 because I was not yet done with my fall.

01:22 Then, in order to consolidate the vehicle,

01:26 I need to borrow money to pay for my shortcomings in the boundary fall that I did to my operator.

01:37 To get the papers.

01:38 To get the papers.

01:39 He said he borrowed money the other day, that's why he got the papers from the jeepney, like the ORCR.

01:45 He hopes that he will still be given a chance to pass.

01:48 Because we don't have any notice anymore.

01:50 If we don't consolidate, we can't travel.

01:53 What about our family? We will all be hungry.

01:56 First of all, that's the only thing we can get to feed our family.

02:00 But the directive of the LTFRB and President Bongbong Marcos is clear.

02:05 The December 31 deadline is no longer extended.

02:08 In simple words, the franchise of jeeps that did not consolidate has passed.

02:14 But according to the former statement of Chairman Jesus Ferdinand Ortega of the Office of Transportation Cooperatives,

02:20 the troopers and operators will be given due process until January 31.

02:25 They can still travel while they are given a chance to explain why they did not reach the deadline.

02:32 That's why for now, Joel's trip will continue.

02:35 Until there's no more, I hope they won't be arrested until we can pass.

02:41 That's also the plan of JR.

02:45 He already has a plan to pass the application for consolidation.

02:49 But now, he has accepted that he can't do anything.

02:52 We are just waiting for the instructions from the ma'am.

02:57 If she says that, we will pass.

03:04 We are polite because we won't be able to eat if we don't travel.

03:08 We are hungry.

03:10 Only three years have passed since he dropped his jeep.

03:15 If he ever joins the PUV Modernization, he will be charged with a new debt.

03:21 We are also nervous.

03:23 We might not have a place to stay.

03:27 We don't have a place to send our children to school.

03:30 Edward has a co-operative operator.

03:34 They are already members of the cooperative.

03:36 But it's just the beginning of his hardship.

03:40 He expects to get a smaller salary.

03:43 When it comes to co-operative, we only work for a day.

03:47 How can we afford that?

03:51 Because our boundary is just enough.

03:55 Our vehicles' boundary is 1-2.

04:00 If we charge 700 or 800, that's enough for us.

04:06 But it seems like they have nothing to do because they don't listen to any instructions.

04:12 It's like we are being forced to listen.

04:14 It's like the government is controlling us.

04:16 How many million drivers will be lost?

04:20 We are still being sent to school.

04:24 We are still cleaning the house.

04:26 We have no choice.

04:28 We are just like a slave.

04:30 The drivers we talked to said that if they won't be given a chance,

04:35 their jeeps might be dumped in a junk shop.

04:40 Based on the Office of Transportation Co-operatives' data,

04:43 70% of the franchisee consolidated in the country.

04:47 But in Metro Manila, it's only 40%.

04:50 The Supreme Court has already passed the petition of several transport groups.

04:58 And while it's being studied, the PUV modernization program is still ongoing.

05:03 Here's the first news in Baclaran.
