LTFRB warns public vs. franchise BUTUAN CITY - The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has recently issued an advisory emphasizing that it is only their agency that is authorized by law to issue franchises for the operation of public land transportation service.

This developed after the Department of Transportation (DOTr)Caraga Anti-Colorum Task Force apprehended a Nissan Van loaded with 12 paying passengers at the national highway in Barangay Ampayon, this city last March 13, 2019.

In the course of the apprehension, a certain Jobert Frias, the driver of the apprehended van, was asked to present the franchise document.

However, instead of submitting a Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) issued by the LTFRB, Frias presented an IP Resolution and IP Franchise from the Lumad Kinatas-as Kahugpongan sa mga Kadatuan (KKK) issued on September 17, 2018.

The said IP Franchise purportedly authorized Jose Emmy Rosales Tiongko or Datu Tubay of the “tribong Cebuano” to operate his commuter van within Caraga Region.

Receipt (MVIR) for Colorum Violation,” Maria Kristina Cassion, the team leader of the Task Force said, adding that the entire apprehension process was recorded through their body cameras.

The LTFRB Advisory, which was issued last March 19, 2019, went on to state that any franchise for the operation of public land transportation service issued by any entity other than the LTFRB is null and void.

The LTFRB also warned that any motorized vehicle using (the) said null and void franchise shall be apprehended and impounded with the proper penalties to be imposed.

Under Executive Order No. 2020, series of 1987, among the powers and functions of the LTFRB is to “issue, amend, revise, suspend or cancel Certificates of Public Convenience or permits authorizing the operation of public land transportation services provided by motorized vehicles, and to prescribe the appropriate terms and conditions therefor.”

“Since he was not able to show a valid franchise issued by the LTFRB, and per interview with the passengers they said that they paid P170.00 per head from Surigao City to Butuan City, we “Per DOTC Joint Administrative issued an Inspection Report Summons Order No. 2014-01, the penalty for (IRS) and Motor Vehicle Impounding colorum operation is P200,000.00 if

Cassion called on the Caraganons not to be swindled by any groups presenting themselves to have the authority to issue franchise to motor vehicles.

The Task Force Team Leader disclosed that in the course of their investigation, it was revealed in several interviews with operators that a payment of P18,000.00 was allegedly being required by the Lumad KKK from

“We certainly hope that with the issuance of the LTFRB Advisory no one will be victimized anymore,” Cassion said.

Per LTFRB Memorandum Order No. 2016-028 dated December 19, 2016, there is no payment for the issuance of franchise. Only administrative fees are being collected by the LTFRB and properly receipted. (DOTr-Caraga/PIACaraga)

farmers in the country is 57 and that there is a decline in interest towards agriculture among the younger generation.

Jerome Taniola, a student of Mararag National High School in Marihatag, Surigao del Sur said that he learned so much from the info drive.

A report from the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) that enrollment in various institutions that offer agricultural courses all over the country fell from 127,287 for the school year 2016-2017 to 100,922 for 2017-2018.

“This activity enhanced my knowledge about agriculture and because of this I want to be part of the agriculture sector someday to be able to help feed the world and contribute to the improvement of the economy,” he added.

During the whole-day activity, resource speakers discussed DA programs, projects, and new technologies especially on rice production and mechanization to let the youth know that agriculture has already evolved and is now modernized and that farming could now be done using mechanized types of equipment.

Employment and business opportunities in the agricultural sector were also presented.

DA – Caraga Regional Executive Director Abel James Monteagudo emphasized in his message the significance of agriculture. “Without farmers, there will be no food. There is no future without agriculture,” he said.

On the other hand, Kervin Baltazar of Agusan National High School in Butuan City said the activity opened his eyes to the window of opportunities in the agriculture sector.

“I am thankful to the Department of Agriculture for conducting this activity and enlightening us, the youth, on the various aspects of agriculture,” Baltazar said.
