LTFRB REGION 2 SUSPENDS JEEPNEYS INVOLVED IN ALLEGED STREET RACING INCIDENT IN NAGUILIAN, ISABELA

In line with the directive of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr. to ensure the safety and welfare of the Filipino people, and under the guidance of Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez, DOTr Undersecretary for Road Transport and Infrastructure, and LTFRB Chairperson Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Region 2 has issued a preventive suspension against the public utility jeepneys allegedly involved in a street racing incident along the national highway in Naguilian, Isabela.

The units involved are operated operated by the Cauayan Isabela Benito Soliven San Mariano Transport Cooperative. The preventive suspension was imposed as an immediate measure to protect the riding public while the Board conducts its administrative proceedings regarding the alleged reckless and dangerous driving incident.

LTFRB Region 2 Regional Director Atty. Richard Dayag likewise issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) on July 17, 2026, directing the concerned operators and drivers to explain why appropriate administrative sanctions should not be imposed for the alleged violations.

The concerned parties are set to appear before LTFRB Region 2 on Monday, July 20, 2026, for the scheduled hearing where they will be given the opportunity to present their side and where the Board will determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and establish possible violations of existing transport laws, rules, and regulations.

LTFRB Region 2 reiterates that reckless, irresponsible, and dangerous driving has no place in public transportation. All public utility vehicle operators and drivers are expected to strictly observe road safety regulations, maintain professionalism, and prioritize the safety of passengers and all road users.

The Regional Office remains firm in enforcing transport regulations and will continue to take swift and appropriate action against individuals or entities found violating public transport policies.

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), under the guidance of Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Giovanni Z. Lopez, has summoned the operator of a passenger jeepney that was involved in a road crash in Bataan that left 18 passengers injured on July 14.

LTFRB Chairman Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said they already issued a show cause order (SCO) to the Dinalupihan-Olongapo Mulipurpose Cooperative, the operator of the passenger jeepney involved in the road crash.

“The penalty is either suspension or cancellation of the franchise. But we have to hear their side first as a matter of due process that we in the LTFRB fully respect,” said Chairman Vigor.

Based on the initial investigation, the passenger jeepney hit a bus that was parked alongside the road before it crashed to a post. As a result, 18 people were injured including the driver.

Police suspected that the brakes of the vehicle malfunctioned which resulted in the road crash that happened in Barangay Roosevelt.

Chairman Vigor said the circumstances that led to the road crash will be looked into, including a scrutiny on the road worthiness of the vehicle.

Based on the SCO, there is a possible violation of a provision on road safety, particularly on the commitment of PUV operators to ensure that they deliver safe service to commuters.

The operator has three days, after the receipt of the SCO, to respond on why its franchise should not be suspended or cancelled. The hearing of the case will be on July 28.

Chairman Vigor, meanwhile, directed the Regional Franchising and Regulatory Office concerned to check on the status of the victims, particularly on the aspect of insurance payment. #

Pinasibak sa pwesto ni Transportation Secretary Banoy Lopez noong July 15 ang isang tauhan ng Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation (SAICT) matapos manuntok ng driver ng hinuling colorum na van.

Ito’y alinsunod sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na tiyaking hindi mang-aabuso ng kapangyarihan ang mga kawani ng pamahalaan.
