00:00 Up to 50 years of love for massaging is what a commuter group is looking forward to
00:06 if the modernization of jeepneys is not stopped.
00:10 And they are focused on Salima Refran and Ian Cruz.
00:13 The journey of traditional jeeps continues on Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
00:21 It's like a normal day for those who consolidated the franchise for the POV modernization,
00:27 as well as for those who did not consolidate because they are allowed to pass until the end of January.
00:33 But it's time for the jeepney modernization to be put into action.
00:38 A commuter group is worried about its effect on the passengers.
00:42 The commuter group said that for advocates for inclusive transport,
00:46 the current minimum of 13 pesos for a passenger in a traditional jeep
00:51 can increase to 50 pesos
00:53 because of the high cost of the operation of the modernization program.
00:58 We have a high cost of modernization.
01:02 Not only this unit, but also the garage,
01:05 fees for the co-op, hiring a mechanic, and many more.
01:09 Our basis for raising the cost of massaging is that the operator needs to pay the debt.
01:15 The driver needs to earn enough to have food.
01:19 The group also said that in the end, the franchisees of jeeps will have a big business
01:24 that will contribute more to the massaging,
01:27 just like what happened in other sectors of transportation in the country.
01:31 We are looking at the big corporations, the capitalists,
01:36 who can handle our jeeps.
01:39 We will have an incentive to make profit, basically.
01:45 The profit will be bigger, they will not just invest for us.
01:49 CDC Kapananjema Integrated News, Samacuang, Panig, LTFRB.
01:53 Even President Bongbong Marcos is being called by transport groups
01:58 to suspend the PLV modernization program
02:01 while the Supreme Court is not yet resolving the petitions they filed.
02:06 Can you first cancel the chopper and commuter in the Supreme Court?
02:13 You can't go back to the past.
02:15 In other words, you can't go back to the past.
02:18 Because they lost their franchise, they lost their food for how many months?
02:25 The commuters are still suffering.
02:27 That's why there are still old jeeps being allowed on routes that are not yet consolidated.
02:33 Even the President should realize that the LTFRB
02:39 practically did not implement the deadline
02:44 in the sense that the LTFRB realized that the changes are a bit too much.
02:49 You can only reduce 20% of the jeeps. It's already hard.
02:54 Because there is a 30-day due process for the cancellation of the franchise,
02:57 transport groups are studying the motion for status quo anti-order
03:02 so that it won't reach that.
03:05 For GMA Integrated News, Sanima Refran.
03:08 And Ian Cruz. We are closed for 24 hours.
