This, as Senator Grace Poe, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Public Services, endorsed for plenary approval the panel’s report which recommended the repeal of the Department of Transportation’s Order 2018-19 and all related issuances that allowed the operations of private motor vehicles inspection centers .
“I hope we can help ease the [motorists’] burden by calling for the immediate end to the oppressive, anomalous and extraordinarily flawed Privatization of the Motor Vehicle Inspection System,” added the senator. “I concede that the intention behind the project is laudable. There is no disagreement that the privilege to own a car carries with it the responsibility to make it safe to operate at all times. Neither is there any debate as to government’s right to impose standards of roadworthiness of vehicles,” Recto said.
Poe, citing the report, said there were “several glaring and serious issues” in the current implementation of the MVIS, such as the lack of transparency in the accreditation of the PMVICs, lack of consultation with local executives and stakeholders and the alleged failure of the inspection hubs to comply with legal requirements before operating.
