The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has no authority to revoke the individual franchise of public utility vehicles that did not consolidate into cooperatives, Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero said Monday.Escudero was referring to the provision of the government’s public transport modernization program which requires drivers and operators to consolidate into corporations or cooperatives to be granted franchises to operate.
Without such authority, Escudero said that the government should not ram the PTMP program on drivers and operators by pinning their franchise on consolidation.“Naniniwala ako na hindi dapat namimilit ang gobyerno bilang mga magulang ng ating mga mamamayan. Dapat kinukumbinsi at tinutulungan tungo sa nais nating landas kaugnay ng modernization ng PUV. Una , sang-ayon ko sa posisyon ng marami sa kanila na ang prangkisa ay personal sa kanila,” he said.
