00:00The D.O.T.R. responded to the affected areas of the so-called transport strike of Manibela, Puspusan.

00:07Other government agencies and local government units also helped in providing free transportation.

00:13Gav Villegas with the latest news.

00:17The Department of Transportation pointed out areas in the country that could be affected by the 3-day transport strike.

00:23This is the return of Manibela to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

00:28This is in line with the consolidation rate of the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program or PUVMP.

00:34On the first day of the strike, the D.O.T.R. was ready to respond to the affected passengers.

00:39We were able to monitor and be on standby.

00:41There were MDA buses so that we would not be surrounded by the strike.

00:47We were able to monitor and be on standby.

00:51We were able to monitor and be on standby.

00:57We were able to deploy our buses in case our countrymen are in trouble.

01:06LGUs and other agencies also helped in providing free transportation.

01:11Quezon City deployed an e-trike to ensure that stranded passengers can travel.

01:17The Philippine Coast Guard also provided assistance to alleviate the difficulties of commuters.

01:22The MMDA only chose where they placed the buses so that those who did not participate in the strike would not be affected.

01:29Again, we did not dispatch or allow people to travel.

01:34There were more people who did not participate in the strike.

01:40If we were to deploy these buses, they would be taken away by the passengers.

01:46The tendency of the passengers is to travel on their own.

01:50That is why we are simply dispatching them to places where they need free transportation.

01:57The LTFRB agreed to cooperate with the transport groups.

02:01However, they will not grant the request to stop the program.

02:04If we have a dialogue and you ask us to stop this, that is a major decision.

02:16Even to the secretary of the DOTR, even up to the president.

02:23That is a policy of the government.

02:26That is a major transport policy.

02:30The LTFRB cannot decide on that.

02:34Why? We are just implementing.

02:36There are also transport groups that rallied with the LTFRB

02:40to get support for the POV modernization program of the government.

02:45This includes Pasang Mazda, AltoDap, Acto, Bosina, and Proda.

02:50According to the LTFRB, more than 155,000 units of public utility vehicles in the country have been consolidated.
