Taguig grants free franchise to 1.3k trike units in EMBO villages

The city government of Taguig has granted free franchises to 1,300 tricycle units owned by various tricycle operators and drivers’ associations in EMBO villages.

“What the City of Taguig is giving is not just an ordinary franchise, but also trust – and we know as Filipinos, trust is priceless,” Cayetano said in a recent event held at the Benigno S. Aquino High School in Barangay Comembo. The presidents of the 34 TODA in EMBO received their Motorized Tricycle Operator’s Permits , allowing them to legally operate their tricycles for their livelihood.

“Before, we renewed every year and we still took care of the paperwork. But now, we are grateful to the Taguig government for giving us all the opportunity to renew free of charge and then they even came here for us,” said Rolando Alapre, a tricycle driver of nine years, who services the routes of Barangays Pembo, Rizal, Comembo, and East Rembo.
