AGRI Party-list Rep. Wilbert T. Lee is prodding the government to extend the payment term for modern jeeps, saying this would make the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program “acceptable” to drivers and operators.Lee made this to transportation agencies during the House Committee on Transportation’s public briefing Thursday, March 9 on the controversial program.
“We should provide an acceptable paying scheme, which must be just, fair and humane. They should be allowed to pay for a modern jeepney in 10 to 15 years instead of seven years or the government can provide a higher and adequate subsidy,” he told transportation agencies during the briefing. Meanwhile, Lee also insisted that an individual driver or operator who does not wish to be part of a cooperative should be allowed to continue on this livelihood without having to register as a corporation sole since it needs stringent and burdensome requirements like having to post a substantial amount for bond.
