The Land Transportation and Franchising Board (LTFRB) is fully supporting the implementation of the safety training and technical orientation for drivers by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
In an interview, newly assumed LTFRB regional director Romulo Bernardes said training the drivers of public utility vehicles (PUV) could help eliminate accidents. He said TESDA-trained drivers would become more competent and skillful in conveying their passengers.
"I encourage the drivers to undertake the TESDA training," Bernardes said.
Earlier, TESDA Director General Joel Villanueva has made the commitment to have the training for drivers following the string of vehicular accidents especially during holidays like Christmas and Ati-Atihan season and in response to the request of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC).
After their training, drivers would then be issued a TESDA certification to show their competency.
Bernardes said many vehicular accidents happen because of undisciplined drivers.
In Aklan, particularly in Kalibo, several vehicular accidents happen daily. /MP
