MANILA — Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said the campaign against colorum vehicles including unconsolidated public utility jeepneys will continue.During the Philippine Economic Forum in Pasay City, Bautista said there are no new guidelines yet in apprehending unconsolidated PUJs and that the government is simply implementing existing guidelines on this.“Continuous naman yan eh, yung panghuhuli ng mga colorum so pag hindi nag-consolidate considered colorum yun. Walang new guidelines, we will continue to implement existing guidelines,” Bautista said.However, the Metro Manila Development Authority earlier said it is waiting for the guidelines from the DOTr when asked if it would be participating in the apprehensions of unconsolidated and therefore considered colorum jeepneys.Bautista added that the next phase under the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) is the route rationalization.After the route rationalization, Bautista said, jeepney cooperatives and corporations will be required to replace their old jeepneys with modern jeepneys.“Next to this is the route rationalization, we will work closely with the local government units. If we will be able to finalize the routes, that&#x27;s the time we will require the consolidated entities to replace the old jeepneys with modernized ones,” according to BautistaAs of the latest, Bautista said, there are about 7,000 modernized vehicles in the country using Euro 5 and Euro 6 engines.
