00:00This week, the LTFRB will also start the petition of some group of drivers to make the minimum fare in the jeep Php 15 from the current Php 13.

00:11Niko Wahe is on the scene.

00:16Mang Glen is now paying Php 700 per day to his family from his jeepney.

00:22Even if it's not enough, it's more expensive to buy, especially the diesel.

00:27The diesel has increased. It's increasing again.

00:30If it goes down, it's just diesel. If it goes up, it's diesel.

00:33That's why if the high-passage plan continues, it's likely that he'll be able to go home to his family.

00:39If there's an entry, it's okay.

00:41For Php 700, Php 800, especially if the minimum Php 15 goes down.

00:46Maybe it's already Php 1,000.

00:48On February 19, the LTFRB will have a hearing.

00:51According to the plan to make the minimum fare in the jeep Php 15 from the current Php 13.

00:57On the 10th of 2023, the board gave a provisional increase.

01:04But at that time, the fuel was expensive.

01:07That's why they asked for Php 17.

01:10But the original price of Php 22 was Php 15.

01:13On October 2023, the LTFRB approved the increase in the minimum fare of public utility jeepneys from Php 12 to Php 13.

01:23For modern jeeps, from Php 14 to Php 15.

01:27So for choppers, it's time again to increase the fare in the jeep.

01:31That's a big deal.

01:33It's going to be Php 15.

01:35Because diesel is expensive now.

01:37It's okay, sir, because the gas is too high.

01:39For me, it's too heavy.

01:42I've been in a jeep many times.

01:44The Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines or ALTODAP clarified that

01:50one of those who petitioned for a higher fare,

01:52We're asking for a provisional increase first because if it goes down, we can easily lower the provisional increase that was lost to the driver to be enough.

02:04If there's a provisional increase, it's easier for them to lower the fare.

02:08They talked to other petitioners like ACTO and PASANGMAZDA.

02:13They said that depending on the high price of oil, the fare will go up or down.

02:18They understand that their passengers, like them, are also having a hard time with the prices going up.

02:24But hopefully, they will understand.

02:26Especially with the high price of oil.

02:29Like what happened on Tuesday.

02:31For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, for Tutok 24 Horas.
