Bill prohibiting PUV drivers for long hours filed in congress

on

CAMARINES SUR, Philippines — Very soon, driving for long hours for drivers of public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers or for 12 hours or more will no longer be allowed.

Such is the gist of House bill 1768 filed by Deputy Speaker and Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte aiming to penalize drivers who will drive PUVs within 12 to 24 hours.

According to Villafuerte, one of the reasons for road accidents is over fatigue, causing drivers to become dizzy, especially during long drives and losing concentration on the road especially at night.

He said the measure would reduce road accidents and allow drivers to have their own discipline.

In addition to drivers, companies or institutions will also be penalized for allowing their drivers to work without breaks or shifts.

Bus are said to be overdoing work on the road because the journey from Metro Manila to Camarines Sur takes about 13 hours. (Chris Figueroa/IAMIGO/CNS)

Gatchalian formally ascends Senate President-ship; Cayetano bloc retreats

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s concession that Senator Sherwin Gatchalian’s camp had already secured the numbers necessary to take the Senate presidency was an acknowledgment of political reality, not necessarily the end of his faction’s influence. Faced with an inevitable defeat, Cayetano stepped away from the highest seat in the chamber. But his departure came with a telling condition: his allies must retain control of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee — the chamber’s most potent instrument of investigation and political pressure.
