00:00 Starting tomorrow, they will be considered as the color of the jeeps that have not been consolidated.
00:06 But what will happen to the jeeps that will not reach the deadline?
00:10 Watch Oscar Oida.
00:12 Today is the deadline set by LTFRB for all the jeeps that have not been consolidated.
00:22 Because of this, the LTFRB will add the last minute to consolidate.
00:28 Just like the one that was given to us by Avenue Quezon City.
00:31 As of April 23, we have about 150,000.
00:36 As of last night, based on our count, we increased it to 8,250.
00:44 So that would be about 158,000.
00:48 So from its previous mark of 76, we are confident that we can bridge the 79 to 80 percent of the entire public utility jeep in the entire Philippines.
01:01 It will be consolidated.
01:03 In Lihuasan, Bonifacio, Manila, the jeepney drivers who joined the Tigil Pasada because of the deadline of consolidation,
01:12 they are determined not only to give up their plan of consolidation,
01:18 they are also thinking about the well-being of the passengers because the passenger load can increase.
01:24 We are not just the purgatory drivers, all the Filipinos are included in the hardship.
01:32 We have not lost hope.
01:36 According to LTFRB, the extension is no longer in place and they will be considered as a color room from tomorrow.
01:42 But the start of the consolidation is not yet tomorrow.
01:45 We will send a notice and we will give them five days to answer.
01:50 Whatever is their answer, if there is no merit, then we will cancel their franchise.
01:56 Come second week, that will be the start of the consolidation.
02:01 The cost, if you are apprehended, is one year suspension for the driver,
02:07 a penalty of P50,000 for the jeepney color room.
02:11 Aside from that, the vehicle will be impounded.
02:14 For the jeepneys that were not consolidated.
02:17 What they lost is their franchise from LTFRB.
02:22 But their registration in LTO is still in existence.
02:26 They can convert this into private vehicles that they can use.
02:35 Along with the last day of consolidation for the jeepney modernization,
02:39 President Bongbong Marcos is ordering the Energy Department and other agencies
02:45 to expedite the progress to increase the number of electric vehicles.
02:49 According to the DOE of 2023, there are only 7,000 registered electric vehicles in the country.
02:57 Less than 1% of the more than 14 million registered vehicles in the country.
03:03 The main reason for this is the higher price of electric vehicles, which is more expensive than 20 to 50%.
03:11 But this will be compensated for with smaller expenses in gasoline daily.
03:17 According to the DOE, gasoline vehicles cost 5 pesos per kilometer.
03:23 For diesel, 11 pesos per kilometer.
03:26 But for electric vehicles, less than 2 pesos per kilometer.
03:30 So electric vehicles have 65% lower operating cost than the traditional conventional vehicles, PUVs.
03:43 We estimate that we will have 2.4 million savings over a 15-year period using electric vehicles for public transportation.
03:54 The government's agencies plan to replace electric vehicles with 10% of vehicles.
04:01 To accommodate more electric vehicles, the government laid down several steps.
04:07 From suspending import tariffs, excise tax exemption, priority in processing LTO and LTFRB, and...
04:16 We have electric vehicles exempted from the vehicle volume reduction scheme or the number coding scheme.
04:23 So if we were caught by MMDA number coding, when we see an electric vehicle, there is no offense, exempted.
04:33 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Waidang, your witness.
