At least 20 more passenger buses and trucks owned by three transport companies were grounded for involvement in three separate road crashes as the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) further stepped up the campaign to prioritize road safety in the public transportation system in the country.

LTFRB Chairman Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza said all the three cases of road crashes in Quezon province and Nueva Ecija are currently being investigated not only to determine accountability but also to analyze measures that could be implemented to protect the life and limb of all road users.

“We want to identify a pattern of possible negligence, behavior and infrastructure problems that contribute to road crashes. And we want to establish measures out of these investigations to ensure the safety of all road users,” said Chairman Vigor.

The move is in line with the instruction of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. to DOTr Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez to prioritize road safety across the country.

Chairman Vigor said they already issued three separate show cause orders (SCOs) to Victory Liner, Inc.; Philtranco Service Enterprises, Inc; and another trucking company.

The incident involving the Victory Liner was the death of one of its passengers in a road crash involving a wayward truck in San Jose City in Nueva Ecija two days ago.

In the SCO, the operation of at least 15 buses owned by the company were temporarily suspended for 30 days over the road crash.

Earlier, 26 units owned by the same company were suspended for a road crash involving two of its buses in Tuba, Benguet that resulted in the injury of almost 100 passengers.

In the separate SCO, the LTFRB also suspended the operation of a unit of Philtranco for a road crash in Plaridel, Quezon that resulted in the death of one of its passengers.

On the other hand, the operation of the four trucks owned by Melencio Magtalas were also suspended for the involvement of one of its units in multiple vehicle collisions in Lucena City.

Chairman Vigor said the active monitoring of the LTFRB sends a strong message that the agency is firm in ensuring that road safety must always be prioritized by transport companies.

“The franchise that the government gives through the LTFRB is a privilege that comes with an obligation to ensure the safety and welfare of not only the passengers but all road users,’ said Chairman Vigor.

“We will not hesitate to cancel it once we find out that the operator is not complying with the rules and regulations and demands that come with the authority to operate,” he added.

Chairman Vigor said the hearings for each case were already set. He warned that ignoring the SCO comes with serious consequences that may include revocation of the franchise. #
