MANILA, Philippines – The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) rejected calls to lift the deactivation of transport network vehicle service (TNVS) units not covered by required documents. In a statement on Tuesday, the LTRFB particularly addressed Senator Grace Poe’s TNVS concerns, including her call to consider lifting the deactivation of TNVS units. TNVS drivers and operators staged a “transport holiday” on Monday to protest the LTFRB’s “inconsistent and problematic” policies and its refusal to allow hatchback-type units to operate as TNVS units.

It has also set a dialogue with TNVS drivers and operators on Tuesday to “address concerns on the process of accreditation and the necessity of such regulations and requirements.” (Editor: Gilbert S.
