The Land Transportation Office (LTO) and van transport associations in Palawan were requested to appear before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to shed lights on the matters concerning accident in Barangay Tanabag last weekend that cause the death one tourist.
According to Board Member David Francis Ponce de Leon, Jr., he is worried to the fact that not all van drivers catering to tourists are compliant to the requirements set by the government.
The recent vehicular accidents in Brgy. Tanabag, Puerto Princesa City wherein a shuttle van hit the concrete middle portion of bridge and caused the death of Caren Grace Lumicap of Cainta, Rizal prompted the Provincial Board to make an inquiry and eventually draft a policy to protect the travelling public from colorum transport operators.
The driver of the van, according to reports has no driver’s license.
A committee meeting was set by the Provincial Board together with the LTO and officials of transport association to discuss and come up with possible action to ensure that this kind of accident will be avoided
