00:00The Manibela group stopped the process for three days.
00:03And for the other issue, we have Atty. Ariel Inton,
00:06spokesperson of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. Good morning.
00:12Good morning to you and good morning to all of our long-time followers.
00:16Let's start with the reaction of LTFRB to the statement of the driver that Ivan is just an employee.
00:21The number of PUVs that have consolidated is rare. Chairman Guadis even lied about it.
00:28Okay. Maybe it's better if we clarify those percentages.
00:34The 86 percent that was mentioned, that's the 86 percent of the total number of units with franchise.
00:51So it's not just PUVs, it's other denominations. Those are the ones that applied for consolidation, the 86 percent.
01:03Now out of the 86 percent, 43 percent completed the process and are compliant for consolidation.
01:17So to reconcile that and not to say that the agency lied,
01:24the 86 percent refers to the total number of applications that were filed for consolidation, those with intent to consolidate.
01:40That's why the figure of 43 percent of Secretary Vince Tizon is correct.
01:4743 percent of the 86 percent are fully consolidated.
01:55So it's been a long time before there's a fully consolidation?
01:59That's the difference.
02:02You said the 86 percent are those who applied, but only 46 percent are compliant.
02:08So what's the situation of those who are remaining?
02:10It's in process. Many are not yet able to comply with the requirements and there are various reasons.
02:20They just reached the deadline.
02:22Yes. Because the deadline is not a deadline to have a new unit.
02:26The deadline, it was moved seven times, is a deadline to file your intent to consolidate or to apply for consolidation.
02:37Now, the 86 percent are those who applied.
02:42Tony, I will cut you off. Can our passengers serve the 46 percent?
02:51The 43 percent. That's a good question.
02:55The 86 percent, even though they are not fully compliant for consolidation,
03:03because they already have the program, they already have the provisional authority.
03:09If you see, there are traditional jeeps that are traveling,
03:14they may have consolidated, but they are not yet fully compliant.
03:20Therefore, they don't have a new unit because they are not able to get one.
03:26But they are able to travel because they have a provisional authority to travel.
03:32Even though, they are not fully compliant.
03:36So to the question of whether the 43 percent is enough,
03:40we are not talking about the 43 percent, but the 86 percent.
03:45Because even though they are not yet fully compliant,
03:48as long as they filed an intent to consolidate, they can travel.
03:53But this Manibele has been a long-standing model for modernization of jeeps.
03:59So how will the LTFRB and Manibela reach an agreement?
04:04We will open our borders there.
04:07Our Secretary, Secretary Vince Pilson, is new.
04:11In fact, they are asking for a dialogue.
04:14The Secretary is very open.
04:17On Friday, he already talked to the...
04:22I think the Manibela was not there at that time.
04:27But the agency is extending to have a dialogue.
04:32As Secretary Vince said, instead of stopping the passada, let's have a dialogue.
04:39When it comes to dialogue, they cannot be the only ones to talk.
04:45Our Secretary also wants to hear the other side of the coin,
04:52the pro-consolidation who have complied.
04:55The Secretary also wants to have a dialogue to have a holistic approach to the problem.
05:01But for now, how can we stop this? This is a three-day process, Atty. Inton.
05:05The agency is still extending to have a dialogue.
05:10If they don't want to have a dialogue, or for one reason or another,
05:19they should continue.
05:20As for the interagency for stopping the passada, it has been reactivated.
05:27That's why the government is ready for the affected.
05:32So we have a free ride?
05:34Yes. The local government, DOTR, MMDA, the interagency, even PNP,
05:46the fourth peace and order is included to prepare for the stopping of the passada today
05:52and if they will continue for two more days.
05:56Thank you very much.
05:58Health Department spokesman Antonio Ariel Inton Jr.
06:01Take care.
