Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista on Monday called on transport groups to have first a dialogue with concerned officials before holding a week-long strike that can paralyze the transport system.
Bautista said a dialogue must be done to understand each other's positions regarding the modernization program.
“Ang problema yata ay hindi nagkaroon ng representatives ang DOTr doon sa mga discussions para ma-clarify kung anuman ‘yung mga issues,” he added. He also clarified that the government is "giving ample time to transport groups to muster enough funds to buy new units for their operations in line with the government’s PUV modernization program."
“Pero doon sa mga areas na alam naman natin talagang mahirap kaagad kumuha ng mga bagong equipment ay bibigyan natin ng pagkakataon ‘yung mga operators na mag-join muna doon sa mga cooperatives na mag-consolidate para matulungan din sila na makakuha ng mga bagong equipment,” Bautista said.
