The Philippines' largest transport organizations, including former members of the 'Magnificent 7,' have declared their full support for the government's Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP) and LTFRB Chairman Atty. Teofilo Guadiz III.
These groups condemned Roberto Martin and Melencio Vargas for allegedly misleading transport members and causing division within the sector.
Five former 'Magnificent 7' members stated they were deceived by Martin and Vargas into attending a press conference under false pretenses, believing it was solely about additional PTMP funding.
The transport groups issued a joint statement affirming their support for modernization and Chairman Guadiz's leadership, emphasizing that the sector should not be swayed by the selfish interests of a few.
Rosalyn Sakdalan of Busina apologized on behalf of her group and reaffirmed their commitment to both the PTMP and the LTFRB.
