FMJ hopes transport strike won't push through
By J.Lo
"I'm hoping na dito sa mga initiatives na iniisip natin eh makumbinsi naman natin ang mga transport group na huwag na muna mag-strike dahil kawawa talaga ang mga tao at marami pang naghihirap at mas lalo pang maghihirap 'pag hindi makapasok sa trabaho," President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. hopes week-long transport strike would not push through.
FMJ said government would talk with transport groups to discuss PUV modernization program. He is hoping groups will not push through with their plans, as this will adversely affect commuters.
Several jeepney drivers have appealed to the government to give them more time to shift to modern jeepneys, but Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board has given operators only until June 30 to comply, following several deadline extensions.
Due to this, transport groups warned of week-long transport strike that could paralyze transport system. The planned transport holiday in National Capital Region and Region 3 is from March 6 to 12.
"Ngayon, sa issue sa modernization na sinasabi, sa aking palagay, ay kailangan ding gawin talaga 'yan…ngunit, sa pag-aaral ko, parang hindi naging maganda ang implementation nung modernization," FMJ said.
FMJ said there is need to "look properly at what real timetable is for introduction of electric vehicles."
"'Yung modernization siguro, we have to look properly at what real timetable is for introduction of electric vehicles…kung talagang kailangan... kung puwede na ngayon... palagay ko hindi pa puwede ngayon… thirty percent pa lang ng power natin is renewable eh…so hindi pa urgent sa ngayon…hindi pa kaya ng imprastraktura natin…so we have to build that up," he said.
Asked if planned phaseout of traditional jeepneys on June 30 would proceed, FMJresponded… "yun ang dapat pag-usapan."
PUV modernization program aims to replace traditional jeepneys with vehicles powered by more environment-friendly fuels. Operators and drivers can apply for new franchises, but as part of transport cooperatives.
"'Yung pagbasura ng modernization program natin ay siguro ay hindi naman tama…kailangan i-modernize natin 'yung ating public utility vehicles... ang tawag ko nga diyan 'yung CASA sa amin transport sector, CASA is very important … means na convenient, accessible, safe and secure, and affordable," Bautista said.
