Members of transport group Manibela filed a case Wednesday, February 7, at the Office of the Ombudsman against Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, Office of Transport Cooperative (OTC) head Andy Ortega, and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) chairperson Teofilo Guadiz Jr. and members Engr. Liza Marie Paches, Atty. Mercy Jane Paras Leynes, and Atty. Robert Peig.
This case is connected with the national government’s continued push for public utility vehicle (PUV) modernization and franchise consolidation, which MANIBELA said is putting small-time jeepney drivers and operators out of business.
