LTFRB says no complaints filed by drivers in ‘Libreng Sakay’ pay dispute

Commuters, who are heading to their workplaces, line up at the Nepa Q-Mart station of the EDSA Bus Carousel in Quezon City early Tuesday morning, June 21, 2022, to beat the influx of passengers. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority estimated last week that there will be a possible increase in passenger volume as fewer private cars may ply EDSA due to the continuing hike in oil prices.

MANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board on Thursday urged unpaid public utility vehicle drivers to course their complaints through formal reports instead of going to the media. 

 

Speaking in an interview aired over ANC's "Rundown," LTFRB Executive Director Tina Cassion recoiled when asked about drivers of public utility vehicles who say they haven't been paid yet, opting to distance from the situation and question why no formal reports were ever filed. 

 

"I've already been saying before that if there are circumstances like this, don’t just say it in the media. We have to know. You have to file a formal report with the authorities, because how can we go after your operators if you do not even name who the operators are?" she said in mixed Filipino and English.
