He said this was based on the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as relayed by the Palace officials they met at the Office of the Executive Secretary.“For traditional jeepneys that are still road-worthy, they will remain on the road,” Valbuena said. Valbuena earlier took a swipe at Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte for describing their protest action as “communist-inspired.”
Manibela and other transport groups objected strongly to the phaseout of the traditional jeepneys and the mandatory consolidation of franchises under the government’s public utility vehicle modernization program. “It’s very critical that the Department of Transportation address this issue,” he said, noting how disorganized the agency appeared.
