MASANTOL, Pampanga — The Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program will push through as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday rejected calls from senators to suspend its implementation.Speaking to reporters, Marcos said the PUV MP was actually favored by the majority of jeepney drivers and operators, and suspending it would be allowing the minority to dictate the fate of the entire public transport system.'I disagree with them because they are saying it was rushed.
The modernization has been postponed for seven times. And those that have been objecting or been crying out and asking for suspension are in the minority,' he added.Marcos said the government has already reached 80 percent consolidation rate, which warrants pushing through with the program'Eighty percent have already consolidated. So what do we do? The 20 percent will decide the fate of 100 percent? So let us listen to the majority, and the majority says we must continue.
