00:00 The deadline for the franchise consolidation for the PUV modernization program is tomorrow.
00:06 And to make it even more obvious, the three-day suspension of the Pistons group has started.
00:11 Let's talk to the commuters and drivers about the first live news of James Miguel.
00:16 James.
00:18 Good morning.
00:23 Some of the jeepney drivers who will be alone for the three-day suspension here in Monumento
00:27 traveled earlier to get something to take home to their families.
00:32 It was not difficult for the passengers to ride here in Monumento, in Caloocan,
00:36 because there are a lot of jeepney drivers.
00:39 The jeepney driver, Mr. Ricardo, traveled early on the route to Malabon, Monumento.
00:46 But he will only do a few laps because he will be alone for the three-day suspension.
00:52 We are hungry now, so if there is no expense, we will rest later.
00:56 Ricky also discarded two decades of jeepney drivers.
01:00 This is my last trip. I will drive.
01:02 So I can get something to eat.
01:07 They are just a few of the jeepney drivers who are not yet consolidating under the PUV modernization program.
01:13 The government set a deadline for the franchise consolidation tomorrow.
01:18 It's important because our children will be gone.
01:21 Of course, they will be with me.
01:26 But we are hungry.
01:29 We are fighting.
01:31 The Vista is not continuing.
01:34 Of course, that's important.
01:36 We are living a lot.
01:39 The Coloromans will consider those who did not consolidate until May 1.
01:43 That's why the government was worried that they will be caught if they will insist on traveling after the deadline.
01:49 If this will happen, Mr. Ricardo said, Ricky will transfer them to another job.
01:54 I will just go to another job.
01:56 Like what?
01:58 I will try.
01:59 I will go back to the boat and I will go back to the boat.
02:02 We have nothing to do.
02:04 If we don't have a lot of expenses, what can we do?
02:07 We will do everything we can.
02:09 The monument passengers did not have a hard time riding at 4 a.m. because there were a lot of jeepney drivers.
02:15 But some of them were already late because they might be late for work or going to work.
02:20 It's really hard.
02:22 Not just for me, but for a lot of people.
02:25 I hope it will stop.
02:28 Because we are all looking for a job.
02:33 It's hard because it's hard to ride.
02:37 How will you discard me?
02:39 I don't know. I will just ride my bike. I have a bike.
02:42 [Bike horn beeps]
02:46 Meanwhile, there are a lot of jeepneys traveling here in the monument in Caloocan.
02:51 Like what you can see.
02:52 We haven't seen any stranded passengers yet.
02:56 But LGUs like Malabon are ready to go and give free rides if needed.
03:03 And there are passengers who are affected because the 3-day stop is already passed.
03:08 That's the first news from Caloocan.
03:10 I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
03:13 James, are there a lot of consolidated routes in the monument?
03:19 Based on our observation and questions to the jeepney drivers in different routes in the monument area,
03:30 because there are routes that go to Camanaba like Malabon and Navotas,
03:34 and there are also jeepneys that go to Rizal Avenue that goes to Pasayo and Manila.
03:40 There are a lot of consolidated jeepney drivers here.
03:44 One of the indications when we ask them is the sticker on the side of their jeepney
03:50 that they are a member of the cooperative and a member of the corporation.
03:55 Thank you very much James Agustin.
03:59 Igan, you are the first in the news.
