FOLLOWING the expiration of the validity of Bayanihan to Recover as One Act or Bayanihan 2 law on June 30, 2021, the Libreng Sakay program in Davao Region, which offers free rides for workers amid pandemic, is temporarily suspended.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board-Davao Region (LTFRB-Davao) Director Nonito Llanos III told SunStar Davao in a phone interview on Thursday, July 1, that the suspension of the free ride took effect the day after the law lapsed.
Llanos said the program was affected by the expiration of the Bayanihan 2 law since it is where their funding for the Libreng Sakay Program is being sourced.
