The discussion likewise highlighted the enforcement functions of the LTFRB, inter-agency coordination with law enforcement authorities, and the importance of regulatory compliance in ensuring safe, orderly, and efficient public transportation operations. Students were also given insights into actual field enforcement activities and the evolving challenges confronting the public transport sector.

An open forum followed the lecture where students actively interacted with RD Aljo Bendijo through questions and discussions on transport law enforcement, public transportation issues, franchise regulation, road safety concerns, and the practical realities encountered in transport regulatory operations. The exchange provided the students with a deeper appreciation of the role of the LTFRB and the importance of ethical and responsive public service in the field of criminology and law enforcement.

Marcos Jr.
