A group of transport operators here will not join the nationwide week-long transport strike starting Monday, March 6.
CEBU CITY –
The week-long transport holiday protests Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board Circular Memorandum No. 2023-013 which sets the deadline for the phase out of traditional jeepneys on June 30. “Our government is open anytime. We have proven that the LTFRB is always open to listen to our grievances and in helping us comply with the requirements in relation to the modernization program,” Medallo said.“We have six official members for now because we are still processing the papers of other cooperatives which applied to become members of CFTC. The federation represents more than 500 PUVs in Metro Cebu,” Medallo said.
With the modernization program, the earnings of drivers and PAOs are not dependent on how much they will earn from the whole day of plying.Coop members are also enrolled under PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and Social Security System and are also entitled to receive shares from the organization’s income.Maghanoy added even those who are too old to drive can still earn if they are members of a transport coop. “They are assigned in the carpool or in the car wash facility,” Maghanoy said.
