LTFRB 7 to summon drivers’ group over transport strike

CEBU CITY, Philippines - The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will summon members of Nagkahiusang Drayber sa Sugbo (Nadsu) to explain why they abandoned their legal obligation to the public during Monday’s transport strike. LTFRB Region 7 Director Romulo Bernardes said that if Nadsu members couldn't give a convincing reason why they staged the strike, their franchises would be revoked. Six men were arrested Monday in the village of Quiot-Pardo for allegedly harassing drivers. Police said the men threw metal spikes in the middle of the highway to deter other drivers from plying their routes. Bernardes said drivers have an obligation to the public, contained in their franchise or Certificate of Public Convenience, adding that Monday’s strike caused damage to thousands of people. – Sun.Star Cebu For the full story please follow link.
