00:00The PUV Modernization Program started in 2017, but the deadline for consolidation has been extended seven times.

00:14And even after the deadline is over, it is still hard to finish the program.

00:18The challenges and burdens associated with the program, let's answer to GMA Integrated News Explainer, Maris Umali.

00:27After World War II, the Americans still have a lot of time.

00:33The roads are still like jeepneys.

00:35The design of the jeeps has not changed since then.

00:41That's why in 2017, the Department of Transportation started the PUV Modernization Program or PUVMP.

00:49Aside from the PUV or Public Transport Modernization Program,

00:53the old jeeps have been replaced by vehicles that have a Euro 4 compliant engine.

00:59To reduce pollution, it is also possible to replace the units that are no longer roadworthy.

01:05The jeepney operators are consolidated or combined to form cooperatives or corporations to allow for mass production.

01:15Aside from spending on the purchase of modern jeeps,

01:17the operators and transport groups have also encouraged the loss of their franchise when it is time for them to consolidate.

01:26But based on the data collected by GMA Integrated News Research,

01:30the deadline for consolidation, which was originally extended on June 30, 2020,

01:35has been extended seven times.

01:37The latest deadline is April 30 of this year.

01:42According to the Department of Transportation,

01:4485 percent of the PUVs have been consolidated across the country.

01:48We are doing this to have the right fleet management, the right dispatch system,

01:54so that they will not steal from passengers,

01:58so that their operations will be good and the traffic will be reduced.

02:03Because if they are not consolidated, they will do it on their own.

02:10But until now, there are still those who are against it.

02:13We are not afraid to fight.

02:16We want to show them that we will not lose hope

02:21because of the livelihood and prosperity of our families that we are fighting here.

02:26They were able to get allies in the Senate of 22 out of 23 senators

02:31to sign the proposed Senate Resolution 1096,

02:34which urges the government to temporarily suspend the implementation of the PUV Modernization Program,

02:40which is called the Public Transport Modernization Program.

02:43It is clear from the Senate Resolution

02:47that the implementation of the PUVMP Program is suspended

02:51for those who do not comply with the drivers and operators.

02:55But President Bombo Marcos himself is the one who continues to oppose

02:59the PUV Modernization Program despite the resolution of the Senate to suspend it first.

03:04I disagree with them because they are saying that it is too fast.

03:07This has been postponed seven times.

03:10The modernization has been postponed for seven times.

03:14And those that have been objecting or have been crying out and asking for suspension

03:21are in the minority.

03:23So let's listen to the majority.

03:25And the majority is saying, let's continue.

03:28Those who are able to consolidate, the problem is buying a modern jeep,

03:31which costs more than 2 million pesos each.

03:36That is why the drivers of the Tandang Sora Jeep of Co-operative and Ayala Transport Co-op

03:40here at Tandang Sora Terminal,

03:42which is still a traditional jeep, are still being postponed.

03:45Even in 2022, they were able to consolidate.

03:48The problem now is that we can't afford the so-called modern jeep.

03:57It is too expensive and our bond is too small.

04:01How can we afford the 2.7 million modern jeep of our government?

04:06What will we lose?

04:08That is the biggest fear of our drivers and operators.

04:12When the time comes, we will really stop.

04:15According to the DOTR,

04:17it is now time for the local public transport route planning to establish routes

04:22and they will require that their old jeeps be replaced with modern jeeps.

04:27And because the study that is required for this will take 3 to 5 years

04:32before the full implementation of the modernization program.
