00:00 The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board searched the Davao City taxis one by one after a taxi driver was caught asking for a lot of money from his passenger.
00:13 Aside from this, the LTFRB also arrested the taxi driver, J. Lagang of PTV Davao in Detalle, Rise and Shine J.
00:23 After the entrapment operation, the authorities identified the taxi driver as Randel Manuel Villa-Carlos.
00:30 This is because instead of using the metro, he asked for P1,300 for a massage.
00:36 He took the passenger from Davao International Airport and brought him to Kalinan.
00:42 This is a video document that he received from the Warta.
00:46 I'm nervous but I'm not going to be able to go home.
00:50 The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board of Region 11 confirmed that aside from overcharging, which is a fine of P5,000 for the first offense,
01:00 the last taxi driver was also fined for other violations, such as not using a taxi meter and not wearing a proper uniform.
01:10 We were able to come up with five violations. The fine for the violations was P25,000.
01:16 Because of what happened, the LTFRB 11 and Davao City LGU immediately gathered the operators of the taxi units that travel in Davao City.
01:26 Here, the taxi operators were again warned of the regulations that they need to implement on their taxi drivers.
01:34 Especially based on the record of the LTFRB 11, aside from overcharging, many taxi drivers were also complained for being arrogant and not letting passengers ride.
01:47 If there is a violation, any violation in traffic rules, it's just a violation, but we can't do this. Maybe if there are amendments.
01:58 We can use the metro in the mountains, but this is a violation of the contract and overcharging of passengers. There are already 11 times during Christmas.
02:06 Aside from obeying the law, the local government unit of Davao City is also hoping that the taxi drivers will remain true to their jobs,
02:15 just like the honest taxi driver, Carlito Cristobal, who was given a gift by the Davao City Mayor's Office recently.
02:24 This was after he re-installed the cell phone that his passenger left behind.
02:30 Jai Lagang, for the people!
