THE Land Transportation and Franchising Regulatory Board (LTFRB) extended the deadline for traditional jeepneys to consolidate their franchises under a cooperative until the end of 2023.

LTFRB chairman Teofilo Guadiz 3rd announced the extension from June 30 to December 31 during a briefing on Wednesday.

Carlos will join the week-long 'tigil-pasada' (transport strike) against the government's plan to phase out these traditional jeepneys starting on March 6 until March 12.
