THE Philippine government is not extending the April 30 deadline for the consolidation of public utility jeepneys in the country under the PUV Modernization Program , said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.The PUVMP, which was launched in 2017, aims to improve the country’s transport system by phasing out jeepneys, buses and other PUVs that are at least 15 years old and replacing them with safer, more comfortable and more environmentally-friendly alternatives.
He assured that the PUVMP will not be a burden to the drivers and operators.“Ang tinitiyak lang namin, hindi na mapabigat pa ang babayaran at iuutang ng driver-operator kaya ginagawa nating maayos at well-organized 'yung sistema na 'yan,” Marcos added.Marcos’ call echoed the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board chair Teofilo Guadiz III’s reminder on Tuesday, April 9, for jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate before the April 30 deadline.
