LTFRB ‘whistleblower’ asks NBI to postpone probe

Former Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board official Jeff Tumbado confirmed that he has received a subpoena from the National Bureau of Investigation , but has requested a postponement of an impending investigation.

Philippine National Railways chairperson Michael Ted Macapagal meanwhile rebuked individuals and groups for dragging the name of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista in the alleged corruption at the LTFRB. “Secretary Bautista is in total sympathy with the bus and jeepney operators,” Macapagal said. “He finds it unconscionable that anybody should be made to pay any amount in excess of what the government prescribes for a franchise.”
