00:00The 1.6 billion pesos requested by the Department of Transportation for the Public Transport Modernization Program was questioned in front of the camera.
00:09According to a congressman, the success of the program was not felt.
00:14We have the first news, Mark Salazar.
00:19On the second day of the suspension of the government's contra-PUV modernization program,
00:26the Department of Transportation was asked in the budget deliberation of the camera
00:31why it is requesting a new 1.6 billion pesos fund for the program next year.
00:39According to Congressman Raul Manuel, the success of the PUV modernization is not felt on the streets
00:47even if 83% or 117,058 traditional jeepneys are already modern.
00:54Because part of the consolidation is to scare the drivers that they cannot travel.
01:01Aside from that, it seems that 117,000 modern jeepneys are not enough
01:07based on the theft of passengers every rush hour.
01:10What if the traditional jeepney is gone?
01:13How many jeepneys were arrested because they did not consolidate?
01:23Those who did not consolidate have not gone back to their routes.
01:29In short, they are not crossing knowing the penalties and consequences that can happen.
01:38According to the DOTR, they are not yet being arrested for not being modern and not being consolidated.
01:44The reason for the lack of modernization is also not the reason for the lack of modernization in Metro Manila.
01:50For example, the youth party list is still not convinced.
01:55This representation is not really confident to support the proposed budget especially for the modernization.
02:04Because Madam Speaker, by its nature, it favors foreign manufacturers
02:12and our public transport system is just a business.
02:17Aside from the budget of the DOTR, the budget of the Office of the President is also included in the plenary.
02:24Act Teacher Rep. Franz Castro approved the Confidential and Intelligence Fund of the President this year
02:31which was not used in its entirety.
02:33It was intended to be used for social services.
02:36There is no other way for the President's budget to be reduced
02:39that's why it was approved in the plenary in less than 30 minutes.
02:44This is the first news. Mark Salazar for GMA Integrated News.
