PISTON Cebu chairman Greg Perez said Montealto had been allowing operators of PUVs without franchises to ply routes using special permits or provisional authority which would affect the livelihood of drivers in the same routes.
He said Montealto also allowed special “Black Taxis” to proliferate in Metro Cebu. It is said that Black Taxis operate just like a ride-sharing system instead of a taxi. “Why is it that some of those that were allowed to ply the routes do not have franchises? We believe he is favoring some operators.” said Perez in Cebuano.
The PISTON Cebu rally lasted for about an hour in front of the Summit Hotel, where LTFRB regional directors from all over the country had a conference. When sought for comment, LTFRB-Central Visayas director Eduardo Montealto Jr. denied the allegations that he favors certain operators in the Metro Cebu area.Montealto said he respects the group holding a rally against him but stressed that he was only implementing the guidelines set by the LTFRB central office.“That is their right. I support whatever the guidelines from the higher echelon for me.
