Transport group says DOTr reverted P1.5B in subsidies to National Treasury

A transport group claimed that the Department of Transportation reverted P1.2 billion to the National Treasury, which was supposed to fund additional subsidies for drivers and operators affected by the PUV modernization program. | zacariansINQ

According to 1 United Transport Alliance Koalisyon in a recent statement, its chairman Atty. Vigor Mendoza applied for the additional subsidy for the PUVMP in the central office of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board on February 17, 2023.“However, they were informed that applications for additional subsidy are currently on hold because the funds were reverted back to the national government during the end of 2022,” the group said.

It can be recalled that the DOTr in 2017 launched the PUVMP through DO No. 2017-011 of the Omnibus Franchising Guidelines.
