00:00Some senators in the Department of Transportation are now calling for an unfinished plan for the route of jeepneys under modernization.
00:09The jeepney group, which is already consolidating and those who are not yet, also responded.
00:15Sandra Aguinaldo was caught red-handed.
00:18We were caught red-handed.
00:20Most of us have a fine of P10,000 for the vehicle, P2,000 for his license.
00:27So in total, P12,000.
00:29The group of jeepneys asked to allow those who did not consolidate to travel.
00:34They responded to the Senate hearing earlier.
00:37How many extensions of consolidation?
00:40The question is, will it consolidate?
00:44We all obey what you say.
00:47Then there is only one person who doesn't.
00:50Is he an operator?
00:52It's not true that we don't want to modernize.
00:54It's not true that we don't want to...
00:58The truth is, we already have a modernized vehicle that we are bringing now.
01:06We just don't want consolidation, Mr. Chairman.
01:09But this group from Bacolod asked to allow them to renew the franchise.
01:15You will go, congratulations, if the modernization is good for you.
01:21But for us, our family has the right to live.
01:26That's why we are asking the Senators here to renew our franchise.
01:33Is the modernization good for those who will die?
01:36And for those who will live?
01:38This is the 7th hearing of the Committee on Public Services regarding the PUV modernization.
01:44But first, under the new chairman of the committee, Senator Rafi Tulfo.
01:49The deadline for consolidation is over.
01:52But only 12% of the local public transport route planning for the PUV modernization has been completed.
01:59Senator Grace Fua of the Department of Transportation and LTFRB is now refusing this.
02:05But it is expected to be completed by 2026.
02:09Everyone should help and produce the LPTRP with the deadline of end of 2026.
02:17Tulfo asked why the local government is planning the route.
02:22The mayor is doing business.
02:25The route will be given to the families.
02:28And that's not fair.
02:31So let's not totally give the route specialization to the LGU.
02:36The government of a local government unit is the one who knows the best routes.
02:42What you will say now is that this will be taken by the DOTR.
02:49This is what we will study.
02:51Sarah Motors and Francisco Motors also faced the hearing.
02:55Local jeepney manufacturers can produce modern jeepneys that are cheaper than imported ones.
03:01Usually, each imported unit can reach 2.4 million pesos.
03:06Senator JVR said that it will take a long time to pay the debt.
03:15Outside the Senate, the Manibela group also has a separate protest.
03:20For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for 24 Horas.
