Jeepney drivers and operators must have enough leeway from the government to buy their own vehicles under the jeepney modernization program, former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Thursday.
Speaking at a gathering with jeepney drivers and operators organized by former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson, Lacson said it would be better if government merely gave standards and specifications of the vehicles they would acquire.
“It is better if government merely gave parameters and specifications, then it’s up to you to choose where to buy your vehicles. This is better than the government ramming down your throats on what to buy,” Lacson said in Filipino.
