Press Release
TRANSCRIPT OF SEN. GRACE POE s SPONSORSHIP SPEECH
I put forward the report of the committee on public services which on Feb. 09, 2021, conducted a hearing on the operation of Private Motor Vehicles Inspection Centers or PMVICs.
Back in 2018, the DOTr decreed that the physical inspection of vehicles, which was previously conducted by the Land Transportation Office, along with an additional battery of tests, 73 in total, shall now be conducted by Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers which it will accredit outside the usual modes of procurement.
As mentioned in the report, the main objective of the committee hearing was to shed light on the issues currently hounding the operation of PMVICs. Nang matapos ang hearing, naging mas malinaw na hindi lamang pala iilan ang problemang kinakaharap dito. Kaya ang naging resoluyon ng komite ang polisiya mismo ang may problema.
