AGAYAN DE ORO CITY – The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-10 (LTFRB-10) lauded transport entities that did not join the nationwide strike held Monday as public utility jeepneys ply the city’s streets and thoroughfares throughout the day.

LTFRB-10 regional director Aminoden Guro said this could be due to the fact that most of the transport groups in the city are already amenable to the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) of the Duterte administration. “Most of them have already understood and have appreciated the advantages of the PUVMP,” Guro said, in reference to the transport groups who refused to join

the strike. “It’s (transport strike) actually useless to take to the streets because this program, whether they like it or not, will be pushed through by the government,” he added. Guro said it is only now that the government is not intimidated by protest actions by transport groups as it is bent on implementing the PUVMP by next year. See LAUDS, page 11

DAVAO City Mayor Sara Z. Duterte has called for the immediate closure of 11 tribal schools operated by the Salugpongan Ta’ Tanu Igkanugon Community Learning Center Inc. (STICLCI) in the city, accusing its backers of “deceptive acts and practices.” In a statement released on Monday, Sara cited the March 19, 2019 City Peace and Order Council (CPOC) resolution asking the Department of Education (DepEd) to terminate Mayor Sara Duterte

Salugpungan’s permit to operate. The CPOC resolution cited the local government’s findings that include the persistent problem of Salugpungan students not having academic records and individual learner’s reference numbers. The findings also noted the presence of DepEd schools in areas where Salugpungan operates, negating the purpose of a Salugpungan school. Worse, the mayor said the Salungpungan learners are being used by its backers to See CLOSURE, page 11
