00:00 We will return here to Nia Road in Quezon City where Manibela's group will start their activity for the start of three days of Tigil Pasada as an extension of the deadline for consolidation.
00:17 We will talk to the leader of Manibela, Marval Buena. Good morning.
00:21 Good morning sir Ivan.
00:22 What is your explanation to the commuters and the public regarding the one-year extension?
00:31 The one-year extension, sir Ivan, so that our fellow citizens can still travel because we know that there is no other livelihood that our government can give.
00:42 Because the jobless cannot get a job. And we can prove within a year that we really want modernization.
00:54 We will show a prototype. Actually, we are bringing it now.
00:59 The Philippine National Standard that they're saying that it might not pass the DTI, we will make another prototype.
01:09 Within this one year, we will show that if we can do this faster, sir Ivan, we can produce more if our government will help us to make more through subsidies.
01:25 I will just go back to what you said earlier in your statement. You are not against modernization.
01:30 This is a show of sincerity that you are willing to follow the direction of the Jeep of modernization.
01:36 You are right. Others are cooperative or even magnificent.
01:41 We were able to modernize our own vehicle that is made by Filipinos.
01:47 We kept our culture, its iconic look.
01:51 The spirit of Filipino culture is here. It will not be lost. I hope this is what the government can do to help us.
02:00 The government is saying, actually they have said this several times, we have several extensions.
02:05 What will change? If we give this one year, what do we expect to happen in the next year?
02:11 Just like what we are saying, we have already made a prototype. Why is it not approved?
02:17 Even in the previous administration, what is there? Why are we not allowed?
02:23 That is one reason why we cannot mass-produce because it cannot be approved by DOTR, LTFRB and DTI.
02:32 Is there a discussion about this? The basis of the discussions is the deadliest deadline, April 30.
02:39 There is no communication between DOTR, LTFRB and the transport sector, especially in Manibela.
02:48 What we are asking from our President is that our franchises and provisional authorities be extended.
02:58 We can say that we are following the PUB modernization program.
03:03 Again, we are never cutting the change in the good and modest of our government, that our jeepneys should be changed.
03:12 But I hope the sincerity of our government, our President, DOTR and LTFRB,
03:18 that we only need a machine that is Europor compliant, that is not smoking, that is 100 percent, that we are supporting the program.
03:30 Lastly, to the public, what will be your activities until the next day that will affect them?
03:37 Today, we are protesting in front of LTFRB to call for our one-year extension.
03:47 The LTO is also not being caught by our colleagues. This is a real harassment and harassment.
03:56 Especially in MMDA, where the police are coming every day to catch our colleagues.
04:03 To our President, I hope you will listen to us because what we have received, what DOTR and LTFRB are saying,
04:12 that we really don't want modernization, this is a lie. This is a lie, a very big lie.
04:18 To our beloved viewers, we are asking for your forgiveness, again and again, this is for you.
04:26 We are your body here. In the coming times, you will not have a hard time paying for the massage
04:32 and it is better to serve our jeepneys and drivers.
04:36 Thank you very much.
04:37 Thank you very much.
04:38 We have talked with Marvel Buena of Manibela Group.
04:41 Meanwhile, tomorrow is the first news for the LTFRB and DOTR because they are not following Marvel Buena's orders.
04:51 That is the latest from near roads in Quezon City.
