Business and labor groups call for a review of the Philippine government's Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), citing unaffordable modernized jeepneys and lack of consultation with drivers and operators. They urge the government to address the program's financial, legal, and human rights issues, as well as suspend the consolidation deadline and create an affordable, sustainable, and carbon-neutral mass transport system. The groups also request increased government support through financial institutions to build local jeepney production capacity.
