Regularization of drivers and conductors of public transport will be an important part of Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson’s ‘to-do-list” if he makes it to the presidency.
The son of a jeepney driver, Lacson underscored the need to guarantee public transport industry workers a steady income in order to give more opportunities to their family specially in educating their children and protect the commuting public in case of accidents.
“‘Yan ang bumuhay sa amin [at] nagpaaral sa aming magkakapatid ,” Lacson said proudly of the profession of his father, Buenaventura—who had eight children with his wife, Maxima. But the Partido Reporma chairman and standard bearer declares that in the center of the success was his father. In crafting the legislation needed to enforce this practice among public transport companies, the three-term senator said lawmakers must be “filled with data” to learn all its positive and negative effects for the industry, even as he stressed that regularizing drivers and conductors would raise their dignity.
