Meanwhile, in view of the anticipated implementation of 100% face-to-face sessions in November, DepEd will meet with agencies involved to examine transportation difficulties.

“Kahapon po, yung aming chief of staff, si Usec. Epimaco Densing, ay nagbigay po ng pahayag na magkakaroon po ng pagpupulong sa mga ahensya na may kinalaman para maibsan yung isyu na nabanggit ninyo. So tingnan natin kung ano ang mangyayari sa pagpupulong,” DepEd Undersecretary Toni Umali said.

Umali was answering to a query regarding the coordination between DepEd and other organizations around transportation issues that can impact teachers and students once face-to-face classes begin.

After it was revealed that 100% in-person sessions would resume, a number of transportation organizations reaffirmed their demand for the reinstatement of the original routes given to public utility jeepneys.

When students start traveling to and from school, Pasang Masda and PISTON issued a warning that the current itineraries of public utility vehicles might not be sufficient to provide transportation for them.

Pasang Masda claims that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board implemented a nationalization scheme that had an impact on the routes.
