The Department of Transportation has
implemented the Public Utility Vehicle
Modernization Program to improve transport-
related problems and align Philippine public
transport with global standards. This program
requires operators to consolidate and establish
coordinated fleets of PUVs.
Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista
reiterates the need to modernize PUVs and
strengthen the CASA program.
The modernization program will lead to more
organized groups with efficient operations and
end the boundary system.
The program will also implement standards such
as Euro-4 and PNS-compliant engines or LPG-
powered, electronic, and hybrid engines, GPS, an
automated fare collection system, and CCTV
cameras.
PUV operators have until June 30, 2023, to join an
existing consolidated entity. The Senate adopted
a resolution calling for the LTFRB to postpone the
phase-out of all traditional jeepneys and address
the concerns raised by affected operators and
drivers.
The government must address the costly
transition while considering the affected
livelihood of the affected sector.

Modernization, yes; jeepney phaseout, no
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 04:10 AM March 14, 2023
By Michael Benedict Ordenes
Dear President Marcos Jr.,
I, Michael Benedict Ordenes, a senior high school
student from Laguna, am writing to express my
deep concern regarding the proposed jeepney
phaseout.
As a regular commuter and a concerned citizen, I
believe that the government’s initiative toward
modernizing the public transportation system
should not come at the cost of completely removing
the iconic jeepney from our roads.
The jeepney is not just a mode of transport, it is a
part of our culture and heritage. For decades, it has
been serving the people of the Philippines and is
considered the backbone of our public
transportation system.
While modernization is necessary, it should not
completely eliminate jeepneys from our roads.
Instead, we can make efforts to modernize them by
adhering to the basic standards for a public
transport vehicle that ensures the comfort of both
drivers and commuters while still maintaining their
classic look.
It is also imperative for the government to recognize
the importance of supporting the livelihood of
jeepney drivers and operators. The phaseout has
been met with resistance as it presents a significant
financial burden to the affected parties, from the
prohibitive cost of the new vehicles to other
additional expenses such as fuel, maintenance,
and repair.
I urge the government to take immediate action and
cease the ongoing jeepney phaseout until a viable
solution that works for all is reached.

differing viewpoint on the modernization of public
transportation in the eye of the riding public and

modernize the public transportation system.
C. Modernization should not come at the cost of
completely removing traditional jeepneys from our
roads.
D. All drivers and operators of traditional jeepneys
should be required to immediately switch to modern
vehicles.
18. Which of the following statements best
summarizes the main point of Michael's letter
regarding the proposed jeepney phaseout in the
Philippines?

completely remove the iconic jeepney from the
roads.
B. Michael thinks that the cost of the new vehicles is
not a significant financial burden to the affected
parties.
C. Michael explains that modernization is not
necessary for the public transportation system in the
Philippines.
D. Michael argues that the initiative on
modernization should not completely eliminate
jeepneys from the roads for it is part of our culture
and heritage.
