MANILA, Philippines — A coalition of foreign business groups backed the passage of a measure creating a Philippine Transportation Safety Board Thursday as they expressed optimism over its prospects for enactment into a law.

 

In letters sent to the House and Senate leadership, the members of the Joint Foreign Chambers urged Congress to expedite the ratification of the bill seeking to establish a non-regulatory and independent agency attached to the Office of the President to be responsible for the conduct of investigation on transportation-related accidents.

 

"This important reform bill creating the PTSB is ready for immediate passage. With the bicameral conference committee of both chambers having been convened, the JFC eagerly awaits the ratification of the reconciled version," the letter reads. "Once enacted, the new PTSB can commence its programs to prevent the major transportation accidents causing the lives of too many Filipinos."
