Transcript
00:00 LTFRB believes that there will be no crisis in transportation on February 1
00:05 if the jeeps that are not consolidated will not be allowed to pass.
00:10 Manibela and Pistons will also be allowed to pass through the passengers
00:13 if their transport caravan is opened.
00:15 Watch this, Joseph Morong and Ivan Mayrina.
00:18 A whole day long transport caravan was opened by the group of Pistons and Manibela
00:28 while the last of the traditional jeeps in February 1 is approaching.
00:32 From UP Diliman, the group will march to Mindola.
00:36 There is a protest caravan in Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo.
00:39 According to the group of Pistons and Manibela, this will not stop.
00:43 So the commuters should not worry that they will not be able to ride.
00:47 This will only show their opposition to the PUV Modernization Program.
00:52 They want to suspend the government from implementing the PUV Modernization Program
00:57 and allow the provisional authority or PA of the traditional jeeps
01:01 that did not consolidate and can still travel on February 1.
01:05 In addition to the group, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB
01:10 has no power to cancel the franchise that came from the Congress.
01:14 So even if there is a chance of being caught in the first round, they will still be punished.
01:19 What you have outlined is PA.
01:20 The franchise that remains the franchise of the operators.
01:23 According to the MMDA, the government should not cancel the franchise and allow it to enter the government
01:28 because of the transport caravan.
01:30 If there is a contra-PUV Modernization Program, there is a favor here.
01:34 The previous group of the Transport Group,
01:36 the motion was signed by the Supreme Court to ask for support for the program.
01:41 More than 100 operators are supporting the modernization.
01:46 In simple terms, we are suspending their FNL and TRO
01:50 so that the modernization program of our government will not stop.
01:54 If the LTFRB continues to argue that there is no extension to the deadline
01:59 and the PUV Modernization Program continues,
02:02 this is because the President's program has a fault.
02:05 He was very confident in saying that we will not extend
02:09 and he was still saying at the end,
02:12 let's help our drivers, cooperatives to improve further the program.
02:20 The LTFRB believes that there will be a crisis in transportation in February 1.
02:25 If the base is the more than 20,000 units confirmed in Metro Manila,
02:29 there are less than 1,000 units that are not consolidated.
02:32 In the past, we have not seen any disruption,
02:36 even if they have already declared Tigil Pasada in the past.
02:40 We were able to see on the ground, at least for NCR,
02:44 that there is sufficient public transport.
02:47 By February, the agencies of the government of jeeps that are not consolidated will start to catch up.
02:53 We will have a random check of the jeepney.
02:56 We will look at their papers.
02:58 Eventually, we will be issuing stickers,
03:01 like the ones you see on the LTO's Pinapascal.
03:06 So that we can determine if a jeep is a member of a consolidated entity.
03:13 The transition period for the consolidation of modern jeeps is 27 months or more.
03:20 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Ivan Meirina.
03:23 I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.
03:25 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
