00:00The arrest of unconsolidated public jeepneys has started today.
00:05Let's go back to Benji Durango with his report live. Benji?
00:16Audrey, we're here at the Welcome Road in Quezon City
00:19where we can see that there are still a lot of jeepneys traveling around the area.
00:24We still can't see any stranded passengers.
00:28That means there are still enough vehicles.
00:31But there are still a lot of jeepneys that are not traveling today
00:34because of the fear that the LTFRB's anti-pollution operations might catch them.
00:40But for the unconsolidated jeepneys,
00:43the drivers of the jeepneys that are traveling are strong
00:47because they have documents to show to avoid being caught.
00:52The drivers that we talked to earlier, Audrey,
00:55said that there are two ways to avoid being caught
00:58by the LTFRB, DOTR, LTO, and PNP's anti-pollution operations.
01:04First, the documents that will prove that the jeepney went under the consolidation.
01:09Here's our interview with them.
01:12That's the document that you're showing?
01:14Yes.
01:16How did you identify your jeepney?
01:18This one has a mark?
01:19Yes, it has a mark.
01:20So if it has a mark, that's what you're showing?
01:22Yes, that's what we're showing.
01:23Is that the only thing you're looking for?
01:25Yes, that's the only thing we're looking for.
01:26But the sticker, there's a sticker on it, right?
01:27What's the association with that?
01:28Is it possible that it's not there?
01:30No, as long as you get it.
01:32They're also buying it.
01:36But what's faster, Audrey, are the stickers like this one
01:40that you can see on the side of the jeepney.
01:43The name of the cooperative and the LTFRB case number are on the sticker.
01:48Not all of them have this because it still needs to go through printing
01:51and it's also being paid by the driver for P250.
01:55But if there's anything available that can be shown to the authorities,
01:59the cooperative will accept it so that the jeepney can continue its journey.
02:06Meanwhile, Audrey, the LTFRB said that they will catch them today
02:11but it won't be as extensive as what others are thinking.
02:16But it's expected that they will have something to show,
02:20especially to the jeepney drivers who are still forced to cross the road
02:24even though they have already been banned.
02:27Audrey.
02:28Thank you very much, Benji Dorongo.
