SENATOR “Idol” Raffy Tulfo is set to file a Senate Resolution that will seek to suspend the PUV Modernization Program because of its failure to make public transportation in the Philippines reliable and safe for everyone.
After the July 23 Senate hearing of the Senate Committee on Public Services which he chairs, Tulfo said: “Sa pakikipag-usap ko sa iba’t-ibang miyembro ng transport groups, lumitaw na ang PUV modernization program ay hindi pinag-isipan, hindi pinag-aralan, hindi pinagplanuhan at minadali.”
“Ang resulta, marami ang mga maliliit nating kababayan ang nadedehado, partikular na ang mga tsuper ng jeepney,” he added.
Tulfo also noticed that the program is hounded with corruption, which was seconded by Majority Floor Leader Francis Tolentino and Senator JV Ejercito.
It can be noted that Senate President Francis Escudero was the first to suggest the suspension of the PUV Modernization Program after seeing the problems surrounding it.
Meanwhile, jeepney operators and drivers expressed elation for the good turnout of the Senate hearing.
