00:00In the face of a three-day transport strike carried out by the Manibela group,

00:04the Transportation Department assured that it will not only study,

00:08but also open to changes in the Jeepney Modernization Program.

00:13In the true plan of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon to help the transport groups.

00:20But while the strike is being carried out,

00:22the local governments and various government agencies are helping

00:26to ensure that passengers will not have a hard time.

00:30This is what Gav Villegas has to say.

00:34The Department of Transportation assured that there are people who are ready to help

00:38the passengers affected by the three-day stoppage of the Manibela group.

00:43The three-day transport strike will start today across the country

00:46to question the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board

00:50regarding the consolidation rate of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program or PUVMP.

00:56We have a monitor and we are on standby.

00:58There are MDA buses so that we don't have to ride free.

01:04That's why this system is good.

01:08We can see right away if there are passengers who will have a problem.

01:13Our buses are deployed in case our countrymen will have a hard time.

01:23The help of LGUs and other agencies is also included to provide free rides.

01:29In Quezon City, there are e-trikes deployed to ensure that stranded passengers can ride.

01:36The Philippine Coast Guard also provided assistance to alleviate the hardship of passengers.

01:41According to the MMDA, their vehicles are pre-positioned and will be deployed.

01:46Again, we will not dispatch or stop the movement

01:50because there are more people who will not join the strike.

01:57If we deploy these buses here, they will return to the passengers

02:03because the tendency of the passengers is to ride free.

02:07That's why you are simply dispatching where the passengers need to ride free.

02:14The LTFRB will open to discuss with the transport groups that have stopped the strike

02:19but they clarified that they will not give the permission to stop the program.

02:24If we have a dialogue and you want to stop this, that's a major decision.

02:36Even to the secretary of the DOTR, even up to the president,

02:42he can answer that because that's the policy of the government.

02:46That's a major transport policy, right?

02:50Now, the LTFRB cannot decide on that.

02:53Why? We are just implementing.

02:56Meanwhile, this morning, the LTFRB received various transport groups

03:02to build a support trolley for the PUV Modernization Program.

03:05Members of the Pasang Mazda, Alto-Dap, Acto, Busina, and Cronodas

03:11are calling on the Department of Transportation to continue the PUVMP.

03:15There are a lot of people involved in the program

03:18and all of us are serving the people.

03:22What we are saying is to continue the program.

03:24If there is a program along the way, that's the discussion to fix.

03:28But to stop this, we will not allow that.

03:32According to the Pasang Mazda,

03:3470% of their members have already consolidated.

03:38Based on the latest LTFRB data,

03:4186.23% or more than 165,000 units of public utility vehicles in the country

03:48have already consolidated.

03:50The agency also defended the data.
