Transcript
00:00 Because it passed the deadline, LTFRB did not accept the application for the consolidation of a Jeepney operator.
00:07 Another Jeepney driver has a problem with paying for the modern unit.
00:12 Witness, Ian Cruz.
00:14 There are still many traditional Jeepneys traveling on the Olympic Road in Quezon City.
00:22 There are many who reached the consolidation for the PUV modernization program.
00:27 But some Jeepney drivers, like Norlito Macarayan, have a problem with paying for the unit of the modern Jeep.
00:35 If we can't afford it, we will not accept it.
00:37 Because the unit is too expensive.
00:39 You will just pay for it?
00:40 Yes, we will just pay for it.
00:41 That's it. But if we can afford it, we will accept it.
00:46 He wants the cooperative and the government to help him.
00:49 Pedro Duli, who was in a fight with LTFRB earlier, wanted to chase the application of the three Jeepneys of Narutang, Binangonan and Sasyo.
00:59 But LTFRB refused and gave him a copy of the memo that the deadline is still December 31.
01:06 He said that he approached the cooperative of their route on November 15.
01:12 But he did not accept the new member.
01:15 I hope that the operators will give us a member so that we can be a part of the Jeepney modernization.
01:26 After accepting the co-op, he still has two more trips to LTFRB.
01:31 Earlier, LTFRB appointed him to the office of transportation cooperatives of DOTR.
01:39 What I can do as an OTC is to talk to the cooperative.
01:47 I will see what else I can do.
01:51 The OTC said that he can only apply to the co-ops that can get a new route.
01:58 He has 30 days due process to fix it.
02:01 As of now, they can apply because of the 30 days that LTFRB said.
02:09 So maybe, they will speed up the process and they will return to their work as drivers and members of the cooperative.
02:16 The routes of Tipas-Pasig continue their journey even though they do not have a group.
02:21 The co-opers joined the co-op.
02:23 We know what consolidation means.
02:25 Where do you surrender your franchise?
02:28 We will surrender our franchise and we will let our vehicles rot.
02:36 The co-opers who did not join the co-op and who consolidated in routes that are less than 60%
02:46 can still go to the co-op until the end of January.
02:49 Abraham will be the co-op's representative on his trip.
02:53 If we are going to settle, we will give you a month.
02:59 For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
