DOTr, makikipagdayalogo sa MANIBELA sa nakaambang 3-day transpo strike

Nagbigay ng opisyal na pahayag ang Department of Transportation (DOTr) hinggil sa nakaambang three-day transport strike ng grupong MANIBELA mula Marso 24 hanggang 26 sa susunod na linggo.

"Sa Lunes, magkakasa kami ng tatlong araw na transport strike. Simula sa Lunes, March 24, ay dinedeklara namin ang nationwide transport strike," pahayag ni Mar Valbuena sa isang media conference.

"Puwede pang magbago, puwede itong mangyari bukas na depende dahil sa pagsisinungaling ng LTFRB sa taumbayan," anila pa.

Pumalag ang MANIBELA sa umano'y pahayag ng Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) na 86% ng public utility vehicle operators at drivers ang nag-consolidate na para sa PUV modernization program.

Samantala, kinikilala naman ng DOTr ang karapatan ng MANIBELA na ipahayag ang kanilang concerns, subalit sinabi nilang makikipagdayalogo raw sa grupo si Assistant Secretary for Road Transport and Non-Infrastructure Dioscoro "Jojo" Reyes.

"We recognize that it is within Manibela's rights to make their concerns heard.," mababasa sa kanilang Facebook post.

"In view of this, the Transportation Secretary has instructed Assistant Secretary for Road Transport and Non-Infrastructure Dioscoro "Jojo" Reyes to conduct a dialogue with the concerned transport groups ASAP."

"The Department hopes that instead of a transport strike, we sit down for a dialogue to work together to keep commuters safe and comfortable while ensuring that the welfare of our drivers and operators are protected."

"Further, the DOTr, LTFRB, and other agencies are preparing contingencies to ensure that commuters will not be affected by the strike. The DOTr is closely working with the MMDA and our LGUs to provide free rides to address any inconveniences that our commuters may experience during this activity."

"Rest assured the Secretary has taken consideration of the concerns of the transport sector to improve the implementation of the PTMP and ways forward will be duly discussed in a sit-down meeting among them and the concerned government agencies," anila pa.
