The LTFRB has extended the validity of the provisional authorities, or franchises of traditional jeepneys from June 30 to Dec. 31. | janebautistaINQ NCorralesINQ /PDI
The planned mass action is in protest of the LTFRB memorandum setting a June 30 deadline for traditional jeepney operators and drivers to join cooperatives or risk losing their franchises.In a move to avert the transport strike, the Senate unanimously adopted Resolution No. 44, authored by Sen. Grace Poe, urging the LTFRB to suspend the planned phaseout of the so-called king of the road.
“Hangga’t walang malinaw po na resulta, talagang panggigipit lamang po ito at bobolahin lamang po tayo dahil mainit ang issue ,” the group said in a statement. The President, however, rejected calls for the government to junk the modernization plan, saying it was “necessary,” although he admitted that its implementation was not good.
Mr. Marcos said that with the interventions he mentioned, transport groups might rethink their planned weeklong strike.
