In an interview with TeleRadyo, Philippine College Physicians President Dr. Maricar Limpin recommended getting rid of the plastic barriers inside PUVs, saying it serves no purpose without physical distancing.
“Wala rin silbi yung plastic barrier, in fact matagal na naming sinasabi yan. Alisin na natin yan kasi yung virus kung dumikit nga dun sa plastic, tapos mahawakan natin, tapos mailgay natin sa ilong e di parang mabilisan din nating nalanghap yung virus at pwede tayong magkaroon kaagad nung infection ,” she reiterated.
The physician also called on the government to fix the transportation system in the Philippines, adding that the public is braving long lines in transport hubs and riding jam-packed PUVs because “they are left with no choice.” “Mag-contract servicing tayo, yung transport service kasi talagang ang mangyayari doon sa mga tao, sa kagustuhan nyang makarating dun sa kanyang pupuntahan, lalong-lalo na sa kung trabaho, talagang kapit tuko yan ,” Limpin said.
“Kailangan ang gobyerno ang gumawa ng paraan kasi hindi lang natin pwedeng payagan ang mga tao na wala silang choice .”
