00:00 Even though the construction of jeepneys has already started,

00:04 the LTFRB has not yet deployed any people who might be caught.

00:08 But some drivers have not given up in the fear of being caught and their vehicles being confiscated.

00:14 Mark Salazar is the witness.

00:16 To avoid a robbery, the driver Christopher put a sticker on his passenger jeep.

00:25 He continued his journey on the Malabon-Acacia Monument Route.

00:29 So that the law enforcement would see that we have complied.

00:35 On the route Paco-Rotonda, 40 jeepneys were not caught because they were not consolidated.

00:44 Passengers who were traveling in three modern jeeps were dismayed.

00:50 They should make sure that people have vehicles because the commuter is poor now.

00:55 No one has a vehicle.

00:57 We will not travel if we are caught by the LTFRB.

01:01 We will not travel.

01:03 We will just pass through because my drivers here have families who feed them.

01:08 One jeep did not travel to this terminal so the queue of commuters was getting longer.

01:14 Others were caught by tricycles.

01:16 I am a poor passenger.

01:18 I have no choice but to ride a tricycle because when I walk, it's hot.

01:22 The LGU of Manila deployed a free vehicle.

01:25 In the monitoring of the LTFRB,

01:27 there are 313 routes in Metro Manila that have traditional jeepneys that did not consolidate before the April 30 deadline.

01:36 They feel the effect on passengers because many of these routes are traveling from or going to commercial hubs.

01:45 In Caloocan and Balintawak, eight routes were reduced by the jeep.

01:49 But the LTFRB said that those who are traveling are already consolidated.

01:53 13 routes from and going to Blumentritt were reduced by the jeep that are traveling.

01:59 There are those who are traveling who are consolidated traditional jeepney and e-jeepneys.

02:04 Centro Ren is also the hub and the hub in Quezon City where 13 routes are affected.

02:11 But there are no stranded passengers.

02:14 The LTFRB reminded those who have not consolidated a jeepney who are not forced to travel.

02:21 Those who will be arrested can go home with the driver's suspension,

02:26 a fine of P50,000 to the operator and the vehicle can be impounded for 30 days.

02:33 Today is the start of the arrest, but there is no release that the LTFRB will arrest.

02:40 If we are arrested, not all of us or the massive, no.

02:44 We will just apprehend two to three per day.

02:47 We would just like to derive the message that they should not travel because they are already colorful

02:54 and it's not good for them to travel.

02:57 If something happens to their passengers, they will not be covered by passenger insurance.

03:03 It is possible that the arrests will be carried out in areas where the consolidated jeepneys are still small.

03:09 Pasig is one that we are looking into. And then part of Quezon City in the Commonwealth area, Silac and Novaliches.

03:20 The MMDA also said that they are still waiting for guidelines from the LTFRB to arrest those who have not consolidated a jeepney.

03:28 But according to the last of several groups, such as Manivela and Piston, they marched towards the arrest of the LTFRB.

03:38 Are they not content? They are already taking our franchise that we are fighting for.

03:44 After that, will they still take the jeepney and impound it? So what do they want to happen?

03:51 They are not against modernization, but they are in favor of the process that they want to do.

03:57 We will not give our jeepneys. We have our own franchise. Only Congress can revoke it.

04:05 We are still waiting for the LTFRB's decision on this.

04:09 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.

04:16 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
