MANILA, Philippines — Transport groups that initially supported the presidential campaign of presumptive president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. are now pushing back against rumors that he may give incumbent Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade another six-year term. 

 

At the Diretsahang Pananaw forum Friday morning, groups representing jeepney operators and drivers including the Federation of Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines and the Liga ng mga Transportasyon at Operators sa Pilipinas hit Tugade for failing to address the concerns of the sector during the six years of the Duterte administration. 

 

This comes after a viral photo on social media showed possible Cabinet members being considered by the presumptive president, which included the sitting transportation chief.
