The head of the Technical Working Group of the Motorcycle Taxi.

I called this meeting purposely because of some pressing issues being thrown against the LTFRP,

issues on the motorcycle taxi and on the TNPS.

And likewise, I would like to give you a briefing since the modernization period,

the first phase would end by April 30, henceforth, only those that have consolidated will now be allowed to fly the route.

First thing on the MC Taxi.

As we all know, there were various resolutions from different organizations requesting for either the deferment of the MC Taxi

or replace the...

or replace the pilot study outside Metro Manila.

On the allegation that there was an irregularity in the awarding of the new slots,

we dare to challenge those who are alleging this.

Ang tab-approval ng motorcycle taxi is not done by the chairman of the LTFRP.

There is a committee handling that.

Ang lead agency, STLC,

is the chairman of the LTFRP but the vice chairman is the assistant secretary of LTO

and the senior member is the chairman of the Office of Transport Cooperative

plus, of course, members from the DOTR.

The last person to sign the resolution is the chairman of the LTFRP.

So the allegation of irregularity is highly...

suspicious and preposterous.

Never po ako nagkaroon ng hand dito.

Now, on the allegation, sila po ba talaga ang inaward dito?

Initially, yung mga first three groups that were awarded,

namely Angkas, Joyride, and Movid have a combination of 45,000 for Metro Manila.

After that, we submitted the results.

We submitted the results.

We submitted the results of our study sa Congress already with a conclusion.

Ang sabi po ng Kongreso, we have to expand our study kasi tatatulong yung participants

and it's only Metro Manila, Cebu, at Cagayan de Oro.

So we expanded the study.

We included other players and, of course, we gave them slots.

Magsasama ka ng additional players.

We gave them a conservative 2,000 slots each.

That's nothing compared to the 45,000 na una nang nakuha before I came in.

But since there is a resolution by the Committee on Metro Manila Development

as well as a pronouncement from the Secretary,

yung mga MC Taxi slots na will have...

will have to be diverted outside of Metro Manila.

Ang kagustuhan sana namin ay dito muna because this is just a pilot study.

We would like to see exactly kung ano ba yung saturation point

before you can say that there is ample supply of motorcycle taxi.

But in deference to the House of Representatives and Committee on Metro Manila Development

and the...

Order of the Secretary, lahat po tong 8,000 slots na to

will be made outside of Metro Manila.

Only DMV is the same thing ho.

In the previous administration, may computation ko yan,

65,000 ho yung maximum capacity for Metro Manila.

As of today, we have only 23,000.

And because...

So we feel the need of more players because there is a seemingly deficiency in public transportation.

Nag-award po kami ng 10,000.

But in difference again to the glamour of the transport sector, we are postponing indefinitely the awarding of the slots to other players.

Until such time that we can come up with an ample computation kung magkano talaga ang kailangan sa Metro Manila.

We will be taking questions on these two.

Yung sa modernization naman po, again I have to reiterate hanggang April 30 na lang po ito.

We need to consolidate because that's the first part of the modernization program.

Before the Fleet Manila.

And that's the second phase na po.

So we are asking now the Chibney operators to now avail of the last extension because come April 30,

we will no longer allow those who did not consolidate to fly the routes of Metro Manila.

We will revoke those franchises and we will only be allowing those who have consolidated

to fly the routes.

by the routes of Metro Manila.

Yun lang, sir.

We will be entertaining questions

based on the things that we have

reported to you.

Yes, sir.

Okay.

Sir,

binapag-iit nyo kanina na

25,000 yung

capacity natin for Metro

Manila para sa...

Tama po ba? Motorcycle taxi?

Ay,

23,000 yung meron tayo ngayon

pero ang capacity natin ay 65,000

para sa Metro Manila.

So, ibig sabihin, kailangan pa hubang

magdagdag na mga

motorcycle taxi

dito sa Metro Manila

para nang sa ganun matungunan yung

kabuwang dapat kapasidad

o sapat na yung bilang

na yun para

mapunan yung pangangailangan

ng mga pasehero na rin masakyan

po na motorcycle taxi.

Sir, I think you got your figures wrong.

Yung 45,000 po,

iyan po yung slots awarded

to motorcycle taxis

before we came in

under the new board.

These were

divided into

ang gas, joyride,

at saka movie.

45,000 po.

Yung 65,000 naman,

is the computation po

made by the LTFRB

on the maximum capacity

na pwedeng iabsorb

ng NCR

and the nearby provinces

for the

TNVS. Yung apat na gulong yun.

Now, ang tanong po ninyo

is yung 45,000 po.

This is a pilot study.

Nandiyan na po yung

45,000 na yan.

Gumawa na po kami ng

aming

rekomendasyon nung una,

which is favorable, of course.

Ang sabi po ng kongreso,

tila kulang pa po yung aming

pag-aaral. Kasi nga naman,

tatlo lang yung players,

45,000, Metro Manila.

Sabi nila, expanding nyo

to other players.

Expanding nyo,

magdagdag kayo ng slots.

So yan pong ginawa namin.

However, recently ho,

there is a clamor na sa

labas ng Metro,

Metro Manila namin gagawin to.

And which is the reason why

right now,

I am meeting

the TNC operators

to propose

to them now, na yung

mga slots na ibibigay namin

would be given to areas

outside Metro Manila like

Regions 3 and 4

and then Region 7,

specifically Cebu,

Regions 11, which is Davao.

Yun ho yung mga areas na una,

na yung mga areas na una namin pupunuan ngayon

sa motorcycle taxi.

Question nila po for my part,

Chair.

Itong

sa study po

para dun sa technical working group

para sa motorcycle taxi,

malaki,

may initial

findings ko ba na malaki na itutulong nito

para dun sa mga pasahero,

lalo pa dito sa Metro Manila,

napaka-traffic.

Malaki, tinatangkili ko ba ito

ng mga kababayan natin?

At kumusta po yung

isa sa mga laman ng mga pag-aaral po natin

pagdating sa ridership po

ng motorcycle taxi?

Okay, yung pag-aaral po

is geared on

four items.

One is the economic impact

of motorcycle taxi.

Number two is the impact

on the traffic.

Number three is impact

on other modes of public transport.

Number three is impact

on other modes of public transport.

Ibig sabihin, efekto nito sa

jeepney, sa bus,

sa taxi.

And of course, on the economic aspect.

Base po dun

sa aming pag-aaral,

ang income po

ng isang motorcycle

taxi rider

who is flying the road between

eight to ten hours, five days

a week, is forty-one thousand.

Full-time ho.

On the part-time basis, it ranges

from nine to twelve thousand.

Depende po kung ilang oras

po siya sa daan.

On

the impact sa traffic,

nakikita po

namin na

walang kaan yung

impact po nila is in

base po sa aming pag-aaral,

is not substantial. Kasi po

itong mga ito is

route-based. Hindi po ito

dumataan sa mga

primary roads. They normally take

tertiary roads. At saka

kung napapansin nyo,

ang daling sumingit po ng mga

motorcycle. But of course,

we will come up with our

final study by

May 31. But

bahat si ho sa aming

pag-aaral sa ngayon, initial lang po,

it is not a major

cause of traffic. But

we still have to validate that

this paglabas po ng aming

final study.

Hello,

good afternoon. Good afternoon.

Sir, nagkausap na ba kayo

ni Secretary ng DOTR

regarding po dito sa MC Taxi?

Kasi parang may nilabas pong statement,

Sir. Sabi niya po,

tigil na ang pagdaragdag ng LTFRB

ng MC Taxi Service Lots

dito sa Metro Manila.

Yes, last week

nagkaroon po ng meeting

ng mga transport groups

together with Secretary Bautista.

And as

early as last week,

meron na po kaming

utos galing sa kanya

na itigil na muna

ang pagbibigay ng rota

sa mga

motorcycle taxi

within Metro Manila.

Sa labas po ng Metro Manila,

pwede pa po?

Ito yung 8,000, Sir, na slots

outside Metro Manila.

The 8,000 slots will now have to be

made outside Metro Manila.

Thank you, Chair.

We have last two questions

for this session.

Yes, good afternoon.

Yes, kailan po kaya magsisimula

yung implementation ng 8,000?

Sa ngayon po,

yung mga

TMC companies po

ay nagbibigay pa ng

application sa amin.

And we're

still in the process of

vetting or evaluating

the application.

But yung utos po

is effective immediately.

So, the moment na

magbigay na kami sa inyong slot,

it is understood

na yung mga slots na ito,

kaya are outside Metro Manila.

Sir, isa po sa

concern ng mga transport group

na lumapit kay Secretary Bautista

is yung hindi po raw

nagkakaroon ng

transparency when it comes to

the numbers of

slots na available. Paano po

natin masisigurado kung

8,000 slots talaga

or magagarantee dun sa transport sector

na 8,000 slots talaga yung

bubuksan natin, hindi mag-oover?

Siya.

Siya po po si

si yung Technical Working

Group ay sasagod po sa

inyong katanungan.

Yes sir.

Thank you, Chair. Now,

Sir, as regards your question

on how to

monitor siguro yung

8,000 slots,

we devised a way

and this is part of the reporting po

participants, not only yung mga bago

but also the

first three participants

na nire-require po natin sila

na mag-submit po ng master list

of their riders. Para po

makita natin that they are complying with

the allocation given

to them.

Another question

kay Chairman po. Sir,

yung Congress na kusa po namin

si Congressman Chua, planning po

i-investigate po ang LDFRB

regarding po dito sa mga

Uber na slots daw.

Ano pong reaction po natin dito?

We welcome po

all investigations made

by the

Congress or by the House Committee

on Metro Manila Development.

But please take note po

from the time I was in office,

wala pa po po

ibigay na isang slot for

motorcycle taxi. Ito pa po

yung slots na binigay

ng previous administration.

Ngayon lang po sana kami

magbibigay ng slots

which is about 2,000 each

to the four new players.

And the very reason

why we're giving these slots

is because it was the

House themselves

who encouraged us

to take new players.

So if you take new players,

natural, you will be

giving them additional slots.

So very conservatively,

conservatively,

ibigay kami ng 2,000 slots each

of them.

And ibibigay pa lang po namin ito.

So we welcome all investigations

to be made by the House Committee.

Sir, last na lang

on my end. May mga nagsasabi ro po

na parang may favoritism daw

ang LTFRB pagdating sa

Grab Given na binibigyan ng double franchise

when it comes to MC Taxis.

Grab Bike and Move It

in particular. Baka may comment po

kayo, sir.

Kiwi, ulit po nung tanong,

double franchise, sa papanong

paraan po?

Ah, yung pagbili po ng Grab

sa franchise ng Move It,

sinasabi ro po na parang

favoritism ng LTFRB.

Baka makapag-comment kayo, sir.

Okay. Nung una pong

lumutang yan, katanungan yan,

nakapag-apply na po

si Grab sa amin

ng application

sa TNC

for TNC.

And for

MC Taxi.

Ang unang-unang kong gumaginawa

ay sumulat po tayo sa DOTR

para kunin ang kanilang

opinion. Ang sabi po

ng legal division ng DOTR

is

dalawang

korporasyon yan. Every

corporation has its distinct

personality, whether it's owned

by one person or different

persons, Grab

has a separate corporate personality.

Move It has a

separate corporate personality.

Yun po ang sabi ng DOTR.

And ang sabi ng

DOTR, there is

no legal impediment

na mag-award po kami

ng slots sa

Grab and slots sa

Move It.

Based on the opinion of the

DOTR, we

decided to award

2,000 slots for

Grab, but

ang masasabi ko lang po sa

ngayon po, wala pa kaming

na-iaward na kahit

na isang slot from among

the four. Mag-a-award pa lang

sana kami by next week.

But because of the

pronouncement by the secretary,

we were overtaken by events,

so yung mga slots na

ibibigay po namin, sa labas

na po ng Metro Manila.

Thank you, Chair.

For those who have questions, An Sis

forget to state your name.

Last question. Last time for the last question.

Next question, please.

Yes, good afternoon, sir.

Last time for the last question, sir.

Recommendation

ng Energy Department

for fuel subsidy

because of, you know, continuous

OPH and tomorrow

mataas na naman.

Where are we in

consideration of this recommendation,

Chairman?

Unang-una po,

we're really watching

into the Kuwait

crude fluctuation po.

Meron pong batas

that if the price

of the crude oil breaches

$80 per barrel po,

it will trigger the release

of the fuel subsidy.

Now, we're

waiting for the advice

from the DOTR

para po ibigay sa amin

ng pondo para dito po

sa fuel subsidy.

So, yan po ang aming

status sa ngayon.

We're still waiting for that

order from the DOTR.

But then again po,

we have another issue

on fuel subsidy po.

That's beyond the payment.

Yung pagbabayad po

sa mga

modern jeepneys po

ang bilis.

Yung pagbabayad po

sa mga cooperatives ang bilis.

Nagkakaroon po kami

ng problema sa pagbabayad

sa mga tricycle po

because this is being handled

by the DILG.

Kung minsan po,

kulang-kulang yung listahan,

kaya yung previous fuel subsidy

po na

iniatang po at binigay

ng gobyerno ay hindi pa po namin

fully na naibibigay

dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan.

Dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan,

dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan,

dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan,

dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan,

dahil kulang-kulang yung listahan,

dahil kulang-kulang pa po yung listahan

na binibigay ng DILG

at saka ng DICT po

para sa mga delivery riders.

But hopefully po,

maayos namin yung problema nga yan

before the next fuel subsidy

is released

to the LDFRB.

Sa monitoring po,

chairman,

malayo pa po ba tayo sa $80 per barrel?

Or are the conditions

ripe for

subsidies?

Pag nag-hit na po yung

presyo bukas,

I think it's already ripe

for the release of the fuel subsidy.

We will be waiting

for the advice

of the DOTR

kung pwede na po mag-release

ulit ng fuel subsidy.

Magkano po ba

ang inaalat pag may

next round po tayo ng ayuda?

How much money do we allot?

For the modern

jeepney,

that would be

P10,000

one time fee.

For the traditional jeepney,

it's P6,500.

For the tricycles,

it's P1,500.

For these delivery bikes,

that you see right now,

it's P1,000.

Unfortunately,

we have time for only

two more questions.

Sir,

thank you.

Sir, JP Nunez po from UNTV.

Sir, kung tama po na May 31,

magpapasap, tapos na po yung pilot

study ng MC Taxi

and kailangan nyo po magpasa ng

recommendation sa Congress po.

Sir, by doon po sa

recommendation po, ano po

in-expect natin dito? Magkakaroon ba siya ng

expansion? Mas maraming

company na papasok?

Tapos, mas marami po ba yung mga area

na i-open po yung MC Taxi?

Tapos, sir, yung pilot study po,

pagka nakapagpasa na kayo ng

recommendation,

ano pong mangyayari dun sa mga existing

po na nag-ooperate na

MC Taxi? Titigil po ba sila

ng operation habang wala pang batas

o tuloy-tuloy pa rin po?

Ayun po, sir.

Yung pangalawang tanong siguro

sa unahing kong sasagutin,

anong mangyayari after

the pilot study which

will end on May 31?

Theoretically po,

pag natapos ang pilot

study, everything will

have to stop. Pati po

yung paggalaw ng

mga motorcycle taxis

all over the Philippines will

have to stop because they

derived their movement

from the

resolution passed

by the Congress. However,

ang part po siguro

ng aming recommendation

if ever

i-approve ng Congress is that

even if the pilot study

is already terminated,

ituloy po yung programa

until such time

na may maipasa na batas

that would govern

motorcycle taxis.

So, yun po sana

ang magiging rekomendasyon namin.

Kahit tapos na po yung pilot study,

habang inaante po yung batas,

the program continues.

Now,

yung pangalawang tanong mo

naman po is,

yung ano sir,

doon sa recommendation nyo po,

i-open ba siya sa mas maraming

company, tsaka mas maraming area

na mag-ooperate

ang MC Taxi?

Base po sa aming initial studies

po ngayon,

the more,

the more the merrier,

pero yung draft ng batas

na nilagay po

or iniha in ng mababang

kapulungan, the House of Representatives

want it,

encourages more players.

Number two,

in areas po na wala pa po tayong

mga internet,

the operation of

motorcycle taxi will be done

hand in hand between

the LGU at saka ng

LTFRB. Ano pong

ibig sabihin nito? Mukhang

ang kongreso po ay papunta

sa isang batas po

that would make

motorcycle taxi available po

hindi lang sa highly urbanized

cities, but in almost

all areas of the country.

Yun po ang pananaw ko

kung ang pagbabasayan po

natin is the draft

of the

law that is now

being

passed

by the House of Representatives.

Chairman, nga, abo lang po ako ng isa, sir.

Yung sa technical working group,

sir, ano lang po yung initial assessment

dun sa

safety concern? Napag-uasapan din po siya

last time sa Congress yung mga

pinresent po. Kung safe po ba siya na

as public transport yung MC Taxi

or ano na po yung

assessment nyo po sa safety?

Unang-una po,

kung ang pagbabatayan po

ay yung report

ng mga tatlong players,

it is within the 90%.

Pero,

binabalidate po namin yan

sa Metro Manila Commission.

Meron po kasi

silang mga datos din ng mga

aksidente. Ang problema

lang po sa Metro Manila Commission,

yung mga aksidente

ng mga motorsiklo,

ay wala pong classification

if these are motorcycle taxi

riders or just

regular motorcycle

riders. So,

tinutukoy pa namin

hanggang ngayon at we're trying

to dissect kung ilan

talaga yung percentage.

Dahil ho, yung binibigay sa amin,

ng mga motorcycle

taxi owners

may not be

totally accurate.

Or, if they are,

still, we would like to validate

their findings.

Chairman,

Dr. Erlo Bringas po from

Net25.

Just to clarify lang,

yung ito pong additional slots

is for the new

players po ba or the

existing ones?

Ito po ay para sa mga new

players. We have four new players

right now. Para

Express, Taxi Philippines,

Grab,

and Bingdong.

Yun pong mga slots na yan

will be awarded to

the new players. Yung mga

old players will not be

entitled to any of these

slots.

Bali, Chairman,

ah,

ah,

okay na pala.

Thank you po. Thank you. Okay na pala.

Last question po.

Chair, balikan ko lang yung

issue sa petrolyo po.

Yung pinag-usapan natin kanina yung

regarding sa fuel subsidy. Kadugtong

lang ito nung meron bang

existing na mga

transport group na nag-file

ng additional

fare increase na pending

sa LTFRP?

So, may mga bago bang petition

for fare increase sa ngayon?

At, ah,

ano na po yung status

neto kung meron man,

Chair? Salamat po. Okay.

Doon po sa fare increase,

initially po, may mga

nag-file po

ng fare increase.

Pumayag po kami

ng provisional na

one-peso fare increase.

Ibig sabihin niyan, pag provisional,

temporary lang po yun.

Habang nililitis naman po namin

yung kanilang petition,

biglang bumaba yung mga

presyo ng atin hong langis.

But what we did is,

yung provisional increase na one-peso,

ginawa na po namin

permanent. Now,

dahil tumatas po ulit

ang presyo ng langis,

pag muli nilang ilalabas

yung kanilang petition po,

muli po namin

itong didingin,

at pag meron hong meron,

ito, yung kanilang petition,

we will consider

their petition for a fare increase.

But, we still have to

evaluate kung ano ba talaga

yung nararapat

na increase po, kung sakali

man pong pagbibigyan.

Chairman,

may ika-clarify lang po.

Yung sinabi nyo po kanina

na after the recommendation

for the pilot study

ng mga current players,

is hanggat po ang

batas, is they need to stop

po muna their operations

habang wala pa pong bumababa na

pinakabatas na sila,

pwedeng mag-operate na for the Metro Manila?

Kasi po, ang kanilang

buhay po, ay base po

dito sa pilot study.

The moment na tumigil yung

pilot study, tigil na rin

po yung

motorcycle taxi.

However, pwede po

namin ipakiusap sa Congress,

na hapang

yung batas po

ay ginagawa pa

sa Senate po.

Baka pwedeng ituloy

yung programa. Meaning to say,

the pilot study ended, but

the program continues

until such time

that the House of Representatives are able

to enact a law.

I'll just give you then an update po.

Yung batas po

sa motorcycle taxi,

tapos na po sa secondary

din sa House of Representatives.

Meron na po kaming

hinanda na batas na

ito po ngayon ay

pagdidibatihan na sa plenary.

By May,

I will be asked by the Senate

to also make my own

report on the motorcycle taxi

on the Committee on

Transportation headed by

Senator Grace po.

Base po din sa report ko ngayon,

tatalakay din po ng Senado

kung gagawin ngang

nilang legitimate or legal

itong motorcycle taxi.

So nakikita po natin,

buong the whole Congress po,

the House of Representatives

and the Senate are now

in the process of deliberating

whether to give

illegitimacy po

dito sa motorcycle taxi.

And finally po,

gusto ko pong magpasalamat

po sa inyo.

Sa inyong pagdalo.

Sana po sa akin pong pagharap

sa inyo ay naipaliwana

ko po yung problema

sa motorcycle taxi.

Again, yung mga

8,000 slots po

ay sa labas ng Metro Manila

namin ilalagay.

Yung TNBS po

ay hindi pa po namin

itutuloy. Pag-aaralan po

namin yung programa

bago ho kami mag-award

ng 10,000 slots. So,

hindi,

ibig sabi nito, hindi po

matutuloy yung 10,000 slots

ng TNBS. But,

we may have to evaluate our stand

on this. And number 3

on the modernization,

again, inuulit po natin

sa ating mga kapatid sa industriya,

mag-consolidate na po kayo

because by April 31,

only those who have

consolidated, only those who have

availed of the modernization

program will be allowed

to ply the streets

in the Philippines. With that po,

maraming salamat po sa inyo

at magandang hapon po.

Thank you once again for your

participation and dedication.

Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Thank you.
