Jeepney Transport Strike

JEEPNEY DRIVERS, OPERATORS URGED TO ADAPT TO TODAY’S SITUATION
 
We are no longer in the 1970s and 1980s when the transport groups were at the height of their mass action power. Circumstances have changed. Jeepneys, buses, and taxis are no longer the only means of commuter transport. The oil crises and power of the OPEC decades ago are history today.
 
But jeepneys are still the preferred way of commuting by most people.
 
Jeepney drivers, operators, and cooperatives must adapt to the situation today and the emerging scenarios as exemplified by the TNCs and TNVS. More changes are on the road ahead.
 
It cannot be denied that many jeepneys are no longer roadworthy. That is why government is replacing the old with the new that comply with environmental standards and road safety law. Government is doing its best to make the new jeepneys affordable.
 
Nauunawaan natin na nakasanayan ng maraming drayber at operator ang dati nilang jeepney, ngunit sa sobrang dami na ng mga aksidenteng kinasasangkutan ng mga jeepney, hindi na makakaila na panganib na sa publiko ang mga lumang yunit. Kaya nga papalitan ng bago.
 
Kailangan din ng bagong training. Kaya naman iminumungkahi ko sa TESDA na bigyan ang lahat ng jeepney drivers ng libreng certification training sa driving at engine maintenance. Magagamit ng mga driver ang TESDA certification para umangat ang kanilang estado sa buhay.
 
It is TESDA that should take the lead in jeepney drivers' training by putting up a TESDA Drivers' Academy.
 
Also, government must double and even triple its efforts to include hundreds of thousands of jeepney drivers in social security and PhilHealth coverage, as well as TIN registration and filing of income tax returns. These measures are safety nets jeepney drivers can benefit much from.
 
Yes, TIN registration and ITRs are safety nets because the income tax return is a document that can help jeepney drivers avail of many benefits and services requiring ITR filings as proof. One example of this is scholarships for themselves and their dependents.
 
Lastly, it is time the Traffic and Road Safety Laws are updated and made more flexible for the new challenges of the future. Traffic laws of LGUs must be harmonized.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
