Manibela Challenges Call for LTFRB Chair Resignation
Transport group Manibela has firmly opposed the call for LTFRB chair Teofilo Gaudiz III to resign, a demand earlier made by the co-transport coalition known as the Magnificent 7. The call for resignation cited perceived shortcomings in Gaudiz’s leadership performance.
Community members and transport officials reported that Manibela believes the call for LTFRB chair resignation is unwarranted at this time. They emphasized the importance of stability within the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, especially amid ongoing transportation challenges.
Magnificent 7’s Call for LTFRB Chair Resignation
According to sources familiar with the matter, the Magnificent 7 criticized the current LTFRB chair for what they described as inadequate improvements in the transport sector. They urged Gaudiz to step down to pave the way for new leadership that can address pressing transport issues more effectively.
Officials noted that the call reflects frustrations among some transport groups but also highlighted the differing opinions within the sector regarding the best path forward for regulatory governance.
Manibela Advocates for Continued Leadership
Local leaders within Manibela countered the resignation demand, stressing that leadership continuity is crucial for ongoing projects and reforms under the LTFRB. They argued that replacing the chair amid critical policy rollouts could disrupt progress and destabilize the transport system.
Community members said, “It is better to work with the current leadership to improve the system rather than push for abrupt changes that may cause setbacks.”
Transport Sector Divided on LTFRB Leadership
The situation highlights a division within the transport sector, with some groups calling for urgent leadership change while others advocate patience and cooperation with the current administration.
Officials reported that dialogue between the factions continues, aiming to find common ground that benefits commuters and operators alike. Both sides acknowledge the need for reforms but differ on the approach and timing.
Looking Ahead for the Transport Industry
As the debate unfolds, transport stakeholders are urged to focus on collaborative solutions to improve public transportation services. Stability at the LTFRB leadership level remains a key factor in ensuring effective implementation of policies.
