WE respectfully write to clarify the points raised by Mr. Marlen Ronquillo in his column titled “Bus reform will displace 10,000 families, rattle banking system” published by The Manila Times on May 17.

As much as we would like to understand where Mr. Ronquillo is coming from, it is quite disconcerting that his opinion on the reforms being undertaken by the government in the land transport sector distorts its very objective of a long-overdue overhaul of the public utility bus system. We therefore take umbrage at Mr. Ronquillo’s claim that the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is using Covid-19 to reform the said system.
