Repeated warnings and hefty fines have not stopped some operators from taking the risk of ferrying passengers without a valid franchise. In Nabas, Aklan, two more vehicles have been caught and subsequently impounded.

Law enforcers from the Land Transportation Office Region VI (LTO-6) apprehended a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and a sedan in separate operations for transporting passengers for hire without the required franchise.

The Regional Law Enforcement Section (RLES) team led by Chief Jetster T. Mandadero intercepted the MPV during a random roadside inspection earlier today in the Municipality of Nabas.

On board were six passengers who admitted to the enforcers they had paid about ₱6,000 for the trip from Caticlan to Iloilo.

In a separate roadside operation in the same municipality, enforcers apprehended a sedan rented for ₱4,000 for two days, despite lacking the necessary authority to operate for hire. Both vehicles were subsequently impounded.

The latest apprehensions bring LTO-6’s tally to 197 colorum vehicles intercepted since January, as enforcement operations continue across Western Visayas. These include motorcycles, tricycles, taxis, sedans, vans, and MPVs.

This latest LTO-6’s colorum crackdown addresses risks that go beyond an operator’s unpaid fine. Colorum operations can compromise passenger safety and undermine legitimate transport services, while exposing operators to substantial fines, impoundment, and other sanctions under Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.

LTO-6 Regional Director Atty. Gaudioso P. Geduspan II reiterated that operators must secure the appropriate authority and franchise from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) before using their vehicles to transport passengers for hire.

He also urged commuters to choose authorized transport services to help ensure safer travel and proper fares.

LTO-6, PINAIIGTING ANG KOLORUM CRACKDOWN; 2 SASAKYAN, NASABAT SA NABAS

Dalawang kolorum na sasakyan ang nasabat at na-impound ng LTO Region VI sa magkahiwalay na operasyon sa Nabas, Aklan. Kabilang dito ang isang multi-purpose vehicle o MPV at isang sedan na ginagamit sa paghahatid ng mga pasaherong walang kaukulang prangkisa.

Sa unang operasyon, anim na pasahero ang sakay ng MPV na umamin na nagbayad ng humigit-kumulang ₱6,000 para sa biyahe mula Caticlan patungong Iloilo. Samantala, isang sedan na nirentahan umano ng ₱4,000 sa loob ng dalawang araw ang nahuli rin sa hiwalay na inspeksyon.

Dahil sa dalawang bagong kaso, umabot na sa 197 kolorum na sasakyan ang nasasabat ng LTO-6 sa Western Visayas mula Enero. Paalala ng ahensya sa mga operator na kumuha muna ng tamang prangkisa, habang hinihikayat ang mga pasahero na gumamit lamang ng awtorisadong pampublikong sasakyan para sa mas ligtas na biyahe. // ANN DESLENE SALAZAR

𝐋𝐓𝐎-6 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐔𝐌 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐔𝐄𝐒: 𝐓𝐖𝐎 𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒

Colorum drivers keep finding new ways onto the roads, but the LTO-6 law enforcers are keeping up the chase.

Despite repeated warnings and hefty fines, unauthorized passenger operations continue to surface across the region. But for the Land Transportation Office Region VI (LTO-6), every apprehension is another step toward keeping commuters safe.

The latest operations resulted in the apprehension of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in Iloilo City and a private van in Passi City—both found ferrying passengers without the required authority and franchise.

The MPV was intercepted during a random roadside inspection conducted by the Regional Law Enforcement Section (RLES) in Barangay Lanit, Jaro, Iloilo City, led by RLES Chief Jetster T. Mandadero.

The vehicle was carrying eight passengers, who admitted that they had paid fares for the trip from Pototan to Iloilo City.

In a separate operation, LTO-6 law enforcers also apprehended a van in Passi City. The vehicle had reportedly been rented for three days for a total fee of P19,000 while being used to transport passengers without the necessary authority. Both vehicles were subsequently impounded.

With the latest apprehensions, LTO-6 has now intercepted nearly 192 colorum vehicles since January, as intensified enforcement operations continue across Western Visayas.

The crackdown has covered various types of vehicles used in unauthorized passenger operations—from motorcycles, tricycles and taxis to sedans, vans and MPVs.

LTO-6 Regional Director Atty. Gaudioso P. Geduspan II reiterated that operators who intend to use their vehicles for passenger transport must first secure the appropriate authority and franchise from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
