00:00 A transport cooperative laid the benefits that the drivers will get from the PUV modernization.
00:07 That's what surprised Bernard Ferrer.
00:09 The garbage in the boundary system is the daily delivery of drivers
00:17 of a large percentage of their income to their operator.
00:21 That's one of the benefits they get from the government's PUV modernization.
00:26 According to Mark Anthony Quiñon, General Manager of the Nova Deci Transport Cooperative,
00:31 the drivers of the Jeepneys will be regular members of their cooperative.
00:35 They will get basic pay, including overtime pay, incentives, 13-month pay,
00:41 and social benefits like SSS, PhilHealth, and love.
00:45 There are other benefits that will be given to the driver and their family.
00:48 From traditional, the sentiments that the driver is getting old
00:54 until now, they are still traveling because if they stop, they will not get any income.
00:59 The services that Nova Deci provides to the former members,
01:03 now the drivers are able to avail them.
01:07 Just like, for example, the low interest rate if they are going to loan,
01:11 there is also a health care program that takes care of their health,
01:17 extended to their family, and of course, allied services.
01:21 That's just in case of debt.
01:24 According to Quiñon, the cooperatives will also be the ones to assist in the maintenance of modern Jeepneys
01:30 that will be a reduction in the worries of the drivers.
01:33 According to Quiñon, the possible income of the driver is between P200 and P500 per day.
01:39 The implementation of the so-called deadline of consolidations has a big impact.
01:45 Because in today's system of travel, there are also other things,
01:52 there are call-rooms, there are tampered, cutting trips, which is really affecting operations.
01:59 But in general, if those will be lost, and there are also routes now
02:06 that are really feasible and there are a lot of passengers, it will really be profitable.
02:11 The Nova Deci is also studying the use of a modern system for better payment of passengers' fare.
02:19 At present, there are almost 400 Nova Deci vehicles with 11 routes in Metro Manila.
02:25 Bernard Ferrer, for the nation!
