driving school accredited by the LTO or the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

According to the authors of the bill, “while the memorandum intends to promote road safety and proper motorist behavior, such requirements would add to the burden of the PUV drivers who are now even tasked to buy modernized and climate-friendly vehicles.”

The authors also cited data from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), that some 430,000 PUV drivers would be affected by the new requirements set by the LTO for getting a professional driver’s license.

Through HB 8070, Rep. Pulong and his fellow authors proposed that indigent PUV drivers applying for professional driver’s licenses be given a 20 percent discount on the payment of the following: a certified true copy of a birth certificate from the Philippine Statistics Author- ity (PSA); medical certificate from an LTO-accredited clinic or physician; NBI clearance; PNP clearance; enrollment fees for the theoretical and practical driving courses given by LTOand TESDA-accredited driving schools; examination fees; and other government-issued documents and fees required by the LTO.

He said without a discount, the total cost of these requirements is between P4,000 to P7,000.

The bill also stated that indigent PUV driver-applicants will also receive a fixed daily allowance for expenses that they will incur in commuting to and from their chosen driving schools as provided in the measure.

It also stated that the LTO “shall reduce the requirement that Professional Driver’s License applicants should be holders of valid Non-Professional Driver’s License for one year before application down to three months” for indigent

PUV drivers.

Under the bill, low-income PUV drivers also have priority access to accredited driving schools, where the courses are free.

The bill also mandated that officials or employees who refuse to provide benefits under the measure will be fined ranging from P5,000 and P20,000

In Feburary, two students aged 13 and 15, were among the victims of gun attacks outside the school perimeter in Pikit.

The killings caught the attention of Unicef and Vice-President Sara Duterte, concurrent Secretary of Education, who visited Pikit Central Elemenrary School and Pikit National High School on February 27 to allay the fears of students, their parents and teachers.

“Samal Island is the primary tourist destination in Davao Region, tourism is one of the most significant industries in Samal Island that relies heavily on a stable energy supply but now with an average of 10 hours of brownout daily how can we expect tourists to still consider staying in the resorts in the island. Many of them have no electric generators and are unwilling to have one because of the air and noise pollution these generators at napakagastos pa nito,” he said.

Nordeco is relying on its P1.1-bILLION submarine cable project that is seen to stabilize the power supply in Samal and is expected to be operational by April this year.

“It was earlier reported that this will be operational by the first quarter of 2023. The month of May is about to end

The incident brought fear among the students and local school officials there reported to Duterte that it resulted in 65 percent drop our rate.

Duterte then instructed local authorities to implement the Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) or remote learning instructions for children still afraid to go to school. (Ferdinandh B.

There are allegations that it will be further delayed because some components allegedly are stolen,” Go said.

Go asked Nordeco to expedite efforts in addressing the power problem to ensure that Samaleños will get better services in terms of power supply.

Meanwhile, a representative from Nordeco, who participated through teleconferencing in the said Senate hearing, apologized for the inconvenience brought about by the power crisis.

Nordeco announced that 2 megawatts generator sets were delivered to the island on May 26, 2023.

“We wanted to apologize for the inconvenience caused to the residents of the Island Garden City of Samal, to the business owners, and to all affected by the power interruptions currently experienced on the island,” Nordeco said.

Samal Island is just 2 kilometers away from Davao City via a ferry ride.
