LTFRB vows crackdown vs falsified documentsMANILA, Philippines — The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) has issued a warning to public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators against the use of falsified documents. In a statement on Tuesday, December 22, the LTFRB warned drivers and operators against using fake Provisional Authority (PA) and Certificate of Public Conveyance (CPCs) amid reports of their proliferation, especially in the provinces. The LTFRB said that it has begun coordinating with law enforcement agencies to conduct random document checks on PUVs. The LTFRB cited one case for the use of falsified documents, where a transport company’s Provisional Authority (PA) was exploited by unauthorized vehicle owners for illegal operations. “We are now meeting with various stakeholders, including transport groups to intensify the reporting of those using fake PAs and CPCs,” Mendoza said.
