"'Yung in-issue na LTFRB [memorandum circular] 2023-13 pertains to the end of consolidation period, hindi po ito 'yung tinatawag na phase out. It is not," Pastor said."Consolidation po, even if you are a traditional jeep so long as you are consolidated tatakbo pa rin po kayo," he added.

He explained that this policy aims to prevent "on-street competition" among jeepney drivers and operators. But senators argued that the consolidation still means phaseout for jeepneys who cannot comply with the deadline on consolidation.
