The Transport Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) Alliance of the Philippines has welcomed the opening of over 10,000 new TNVS slots as this would generate employment.

In a statement, the TNVS Alliance of the Philippines said “the new slots will present new livelihood opportunities for fellow Filipinos who are looking for new income streams in the post-pandemic era.”

“We look forward to welcoming these new TNVS drivers to our community as we provide safe and convenient transport service that every Filipino deserves,” the group said.

In its Board Resolution No. 022, Series of 2023, the  Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB )opened 10,300 new TNVS slots in Metro Manila and the MUCEP area.

In its resolution, the LTFRB said that it “sees the need to open additional slots to maintain a sufficient number of TNVS to supply the existing demand.”

Application for the new TNVS slots will begin next week, April 17, 2023.

The resolution was signed by LTFRB Chairperson Teofilo Guadiz III, Board Members Riza Marie Tan-Paches and Mercy Jane Paras-Leynes. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
