HOUS,E BILL NO.
Introduced by Representative Jefferson F. Khonghun
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The   Land   Transportation   F`ranchising  and   Regulatory   Board  was
created to ensure that 5the commuting public has adequate, safe, convenient,
environment-ffiendiy and dependable public land transportation services at
reasonable  rates through  the  implementation of land-based  transportation
policies, programs, and projects responsive to an investment-led and demand-
driven industry.
Due to the continued increase in the volume of public commuters in the
Province of Zambaleas and the Ciuty of Olongapo,  the demand for services
provided by the  Land Transportation Franchising and  Regulatory Board in
relation to franchise application,  registration,  regulation,  and issuance and
sectoral  subsidy  programs  have  similarly  increased.  At  present,  only  the
Regional Office No.  Ill in the City of Sam Femando,  Pampanga caters to the
needs of Zambales commuters.
In pursuit of efficient, effective, and accessible public service, passage of
this bill is eamestly sought.
