Tabuk City, Kalinga - Two groups of public utility vehicle (PUV) operators have petitioned the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to transfer the processing of papers of PUVs in the province from the Cordillera Administrative Region in Baguio City to the LTFRB-Cagayan in Tuguegarao City.
Foremost of the reasons of the Kalinga Federation of Jeepney Operators (KFJO) and the Kalinga Transportation and Development Cooperative (KASTRANSDESCO) is the expense entailed in processing papers in Baguio City.
The two groups cited in their petition the fact that the travel time to Baguio City is 12 hours while it is only one hour to Tuguegarao City adding that their woes are compounded by the presence of many fixers in the LTFRB-CAR.
They also claimed that law enforcement units from the LTFRB-CAR only come to Kalinga once in two or three years thereby "contributing to the proliferation of colorum vehicles in the area."
Cecilio, Mangadap. Board chairman of the KALTRANSDESCO, said that if the .processing of papers of Kalinga PUVs will be done in Region II, the long time problem of the province with colorum PUVs will be solved not only because of the nearness of Kalinga to Tuguegarao City but because the issuance of franchises in Region II is open.
On the other hand, on account of exposed anomalous franchises issued in the CAR in recent years, there is now a moratorium in the issuance of new franchises in the region.
"The whole Cordillera is affected by the moratorium. It will take years to correct the problem to the inconvenience of franchise applicants. The renewal of franchises is also taking a lot of time because the new director scrutinizes the applications so as not to repeat past mistakes," Mangadap said.
Mangadap is accusing the regional office of the Department of Transportation and Communication-CAR for not acting on the recent order of Secretary Leandro Mendoza to apprehend colurom PUVs in Kalinga.
Mangadap said that Mendoza issued the order on June 3, 2008 in response to complaints of the KALTRANSDESCO of the presence of illegal PUVs in the province especially in the capital city.
"Our move has nothing to do with the Cordillera spirit. It is only that Baguio City is too far. The transfer will bring the services of government closer to the people," Mangadap said. **By Estanislao Albano Jr.
