In line with the instruction of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr. to streamline government services, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of DOTr Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez, will no longer require the publication of application and notice of hearing as a requirement for the issuance of Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC).

CPC is a document that serves as an authority for companies, cooperatives and motor vehicle owners, to operate a public utility vehicle and one of the requirements in the application process is the publication on newspapers of general circulation.

LTFRB Chairman Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said the move is part of the instruction of President Marcos to find ways to expedite all government services, adding that removing such a requirement will save more time and money for the applicants.

“This is effort is intended to fast track all the transactions in the LTFRB. Huwag na nating pahirapan pa ang ating mga kababayan na gusto lang mag-hanapbuhay,” said Chairman Vigor.

The decision of the LTFRB, based on the memorandum circular signed by Chairman Vigor and all agency members, is also in line with the intention of the Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.

The law states that all government agencies must undertake cost compliance analysis and to eliminate, modify, or simplify requirements found to be unnecessary or burdensome.

He said the move also aligns with the technology systems and other digital platforms
that enable the real-time, searchable, and publicly accessible dissemination of
information.

“Digital platforms that provide wider reach, greater accessibility, faster dissemination, and improved searchability, which sufficiently satisfy the requirement of notice in administrative proceedings,” the Board Resolution read.

“The implemented technology systems and other digital platforms… sufficiently satisfies the requirement of public notice in administrative proceedings and providing interested parties with a broader, faster, and more efficient means of access than reliance solely on a single newspaper publication,” it added.

The memo that dispenses newspaper publication covers all applications filed with
the Central Office and all Regional Franchising and Regulatory Offices (RFROs) for the following:

a ) New CPC;
b) Extension of Validity of CPC;
c ) Transfer of CPC;
d) Modification/ Amendment of CPC;
e ) Consolidation of CPC;
f) Change of Name;
g ) Change of Party Applicant;
h) Other CPC applications which previously required newspaper publication.

Instead, the LTFRB will now be adopting new modes like posting on the Official LTFRB Website under a dedicated, searchable, and route-indexed "CPC Applications Bulletin," accessible to the public free of charge; and, posting of the Official Social Media Pages of the Central Office and the RFROs, including but not limited to their respective verified page.

The notice of hearings will include name and address of the applicant, case docket number and date of filing, nature of the application; route, area, or service applied for, number of units applied for, and others.

Chairman Vigor also assured that all the right to oppose any application will also be assured of due process and proper procedures. #

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of DOTr Secretary Giovanni “Banoy” Z. Lopez, has temporarily suspended for 30 days the operation of at least three units of a bus company following the involvement of one of its passenger buses in a fatal road crash in Juban, Sorsogon.

Two passengers of a private car died while nine others were seriously injured in the unfortunate incident that happened on May 11 along the Barangay Rangas portion of the Maharlika Highway.

LTFRB Chairman Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said they already issued a show cause order against the Elavil Tours, Inc. which notified it with the suspension and the need for them to explain in writing why further penalties should not be imposed in relation to the fatal road crash.

“We in the LTFRB are saddened by this tragic incident. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and we assure them that we will look into this case in the interest of truth and accountability,” said Chairman Vigor.

In the SCO, the bus company was asked to submit in notarized writing their explanation on the incident and mandated that the involved driver be subjected to tests to indicate if he was in the good state of mind and physical condition at the time of the incident.

Chairman Vigor said they also want to find out if the involved passenger bus has been undergoing preventive maintenance service and other road worthiness checks—the reason why pertinent records relating to service and maintenance were also summoned.

“We also want to check if the vehicle involved has an updated insurance because we want to extend our assistance to the victims through fast processing of insurance payment,” said Chairman Vigor.

He said the Regional Director, of LTFRB Bicol Region, was already tasked to coordinate with the insurance companies for the immediate release of the payment to the victims.

The driver was also asked to explain why he should not be penalized over the incident.

The hearing of the case is set on June 1 at the LTFRB Regional Office in Legazpi City and Chairman Vigor warned of consequences if the bus firm would not comply with the demands in the SCO #

Patuloy na umaagapay ang DSWD Field Office 3 - Central Luzon sa mga tsuper na naapektuhan ng pagtaas ng presyo ng produktong petrolyo sa pamamagitan ng pamamahagi ng Cash Relief Assistance (CRA) para sa mga miyembro ng Jeepney Drivers and Operators Association (JODA) na ginanap ngayong May 11, 2026 sa Bataan People’s Center, Balanga, Bataan.

Umabot sa 616 kwalipikadong JODA members ang nakatanggap ng tig-₱5,000 na CRA sa ilalim ng programang Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) ng DSWD upang makatulong sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na pamamasada at gastusin ng pamilya.

Naging maayos at organisado ang payout operation sa tulong ng kinatawan mula sa Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) na nagbigay ng technical assistance upang mapabilis ang beripikasyon at proseso ng payout.

Ayon sa mga benepisyaryo, malaking ginhawa ang natanggap na CRA lalo na sa hamon ng mataas na presyo ng krudo, dahil nakatutulong ito bilang dagdag puhunan sa kanilang pasada at pangsuporta sa pangangailangan ng kanilang pamilya araw-araw.

Patuloy namang isinasagawa ng DSWD Field Office 3 - Central Luzon ang rollout ng Cash Relief Assistance para sa mga Public Utility Vehicle drivers sa iba’t ibang lalawigan sa rehiyon. Para manatiling updated, i-like at i-follow ang opisyal na page ng DSWD Field Office 3 - Central Luzon para sa .
