THE Philippine National Police’s Highway Patrol Group (HPG) on Friday bared its successful operation against colorum transport vehicles in Pasay City following complaints from legitimate transports groups in the area.
HPG spokesperson, Lt. Nadame Malang told reporters that the apprehended drivers were issued citation tickets while their unlicensed vehicles were impounded.
“There was a so-called anti-colorum operation or implementation of RA 11659 pertaining to our Public Service Act wherein we got a tip from different transport groups that there were allegedly groups or individuals using these colorum vehicles that were traveling from Manila or Pasay going to Southern Luzon area or even here in Cavite,
Dasmarinas and any part of Southern Luzon,” Malang said.
This was verified by our Task Force Limbas two weeks ago. Six were arrested for violating this said law and we also confiscated or impounded their vehicles, Malang said. Vince Lopez
