00:00 The LTFRB and the drivers who will lose their jobs if the traditional jeepneys are not allowed to travel are given an explanation by the camera.
00:15 Luisa Erizpe in the news.
00:20 No one can answer all the questions of my colleagues here and it shows that no one is really complying with this program.
00:30 This is how the LTFRB, DOTR and the Office of Transportation Cooperatives were questioned by the camera because they are not allowed to answer the questions that the judges are asking them in the investigation of the PUV Modernization Program.
00:45 One of the issues is the high cost of the unit due to the consolidation.
00:50 It is possible that the unit will cost from P30 to P40 to pay the drivers.
00:59 The commuters will suffer here because the cooperative will get paid through the drivers that they will use.
01:12 If I may suggest Mr. Chair, we should study which is which, the P900,000 cost per unit or P2.8 million per unit.
01:27 The problem also emerged that after January 31, 38,000 drivers did not consolidate and were not allowed to travel.
01:36 There are also corporations that consolidated but the members are not drivers. There are operators who got their franchise after being removed or removed from being a member of the corporation.
01:48 That's why they were not able to stop being emotional in front of the camera.
01:52 The corporation is a five-man corporation. The name of the wife is the secretary, the CEO is the president, the secretary is Maria Cuaza Ducalinas, the president is Mr. Erwin Ducalinas, the treasurer is his daughter, Ms. Culin Ducalinas.
02:17 We spent for them, for our vehicle, to transfer our franchise to them. We spent the money in compliance with the requirements of LTIRB.
02:28 We have no name in their corporation. We are thankful that we got the vehicle but what happened, they said it's not yours, it's ours.
02:43 I think we can investigate on us. I think Brian who is the owner of this vehicle, Brian who? Is he the president? This is a long time ago.
02:55 The DOTR tried to defend those who are being thrown out by the members of the corporation.
02:59 LTFRB also said that the government is waiting for a program for drivers who cannot travel and there is a loan of P280,000 for the operators.
03:11 Actually, it's a whole of government approach. Not only the Department of Transportation, LTFRB, LTO, but also our other departments, that's why they are here because they have their own role.
03:27 We also have a bank here, so that they can answer the question earlier. The cooperative or corporation that wants to loan and buy their modern jeepneys,
03:46 this is submitted by our bank as a business plan. Based on the route that they are running, they are looking at how much they can earn daily.
04:01 Despite this, the committee found that there are many things that need to be fixed in the implementation.
04:06 It's questionable that the consolidation plan was first proposed before the route. Because of this, the committee's plan was recommended to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
04:16 that the deadline for consolidation should be extended and that the unconsolidated jeepney should be allowed to travel on the road even if January 31 is already past.
04:25 It is expected that this will be discussed in the next investigation of the committee.
04:29 We request the President of this country to readjust, to reschedule the deadline on January 31, considering all the imperative revelations of all the events that we have discussed in this hearing.
