The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) MIMAROPA is set to bring its services closer to transport operators and other clients in Palawan...
Allan Mabella, city traffic operations officer, told Palawan News on Monday that since their intensive operations began on November 18, they still continue to find and apprehend colorum tricycles.
Overall, he said that he considered the issues raised against the network on their merits and at the end concluded that the network committed violations on its franchise.
Alberto Suansing, assistant secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOTr), in an exclusive interview with Palawan News on Wednesday morning, warned the public that the motorcycle "angkas" service remains illegal under Republic Act (RA) 4136, pointing out that the issuance of franchise to operate is “not under the purview of the local government unit (LGU)”.
Councilor Elgin Damasco, chairman of the committee, said Monday that based on their record, 21 individuals have already returned fake franchises allegedly sold to them by a former city government employee and traffic enforcers.
