EXPLANATORY NOTE

On September 4, 2017, a Grab driver was beaten and his sport utility vehicle was stolen by
three men who posed as passengers in Pasig City. Edgar Luciapao Jr., 34, was covered with
bruises when he reported the carjacking of his white Mitsubishi Montero to the Pasig police.
The victim told police he received a booking through his Grab application and picked up the
passengers along Quezon Avenue. The robbers told him to take them to Marcos Highway in
Pasig, where they beat him up. Fortunately, he was able to escape. The robbers took over his
vehicle.

CCTV cameras prove to be an effective deterrent to the commission of crimes. The presence of
CCTV cameras is highly preventive and effectively restrains criminals from carrying out their
mischiefs, By adopting the same technology in Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS)
units, the incidence of TNVS-related crimes shall also dramatically decline. Recent NCR-PNP
crime stats indicate that lawless elements such as close-quarter robbers had taken the
advantage of the facility of robbing PUB passengers on account of non-detection. The same
impetus would be taken against TNVS drivers in the absence of CCTV cameras.

Hence, CCTV cameras should be installed in TNVS units in order to deter criminals from
committing TNVS-related offenses.

The immediate passage of this timely piece of legisla!
