Transport groups seek clarity from DOTr on modernization program after Dizon's transfer

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has expressed his full trust in Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon to address and resolve anomalies within the agency.

However, Secretary Dizon has been transferred to the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

Pro-jeepney modernization transport groups are seeking clarity and support from the DOTr regarding the Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP) following Dizon's transfer.

The groups previously sought dialogue with Dizon, who had suspended the consolidation deadline to ensure no one was left behind.

A transport group representative expressed concern that the program is in disarray with the new acting secretary, who they claim is prioritizing vlogging over their concerns.

The groups are now rallying to get the attention of transport officials and are threatening to halt operations if their concerns are not addressed.
