Manibela backs LTFRB on transport modernization
Transport group Manibela has expressed support for the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board's (LTFRB) public transport modernization program.
Manibela president Mar Valbuena cited the LTFRB's openness and accountability in consulting operators and transport cooperatives as reasons for their support.
Valbuena criticized unnamed groups for calling for LTFRB chairman Teofilo Gaudiz III's resignation, suggesting their demands were not met.
Manibela's support for Gaudiz is conditional on a "humane modernization" that includes drivers and operators.
The transport group's backing is also contingent on the program not including units made in China and not forcing single franchise owners into consolidation.
