Transport Capitalists set new terminal for more financial gain

Since the questionable Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) is under scrutiny, capitalists of the Aquino regime worry about their additional kick-back from the people. They set the road as avenue for them to continue the supply of corrupted money.

Without any consultation, Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) banned buses from Bicol from entering Metro Manila. They discriminates ordinary commuters from the region who take the bus and who can’t afford expensive ride to the metropolis. 

It is not the best and most convenient to open the Southwest Interim Provincial Terminal (SIPT) in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, to these buses from Bicol region. “Bicolanos are being corrupted and being capitalized by the government since they need to take double ride,”Vince Casilihan of Karapatan-Bikol said .

“Everyone should know especially the government agencies that solving the traffic congestion problem and corruption in the transport sector would not be resolved through that executive order,” Casilihan added. “It only adds more burden to the lives of our people and hassle on delivery of goods in the country”.

Setting new terminal far away from the safest and most convenient way for the local commuters is like setting new scheme and new face of corruption under Aquino regime. “This only means the present administration is insufficient in solving the rampant criminal violations of the drivers,” Casilihan said. “That’s why their hitting the pocket of more passengers to sugar-coat this kind of anti-people executive order”.
