BACOLOD City – Transport operator DPL, a rent-a-van business, is under scrutiny. Is it operating colorum vehicles?
The City Legal Office (CLO) will be summoning Glendale Depasucat, operator of DPL.
According to CLO chief Joselito Bayatan, one of DPL’s vans was caught by the Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO) on Oct. 11 operating like a colorum vehicle.
The Vehicle Lease Contract of DPL showed its business address to be Taculing Road, Bacolod City. The DPL van that BTAO apprehended was on Lopez Jaena Street. There were other DPL vans parked in the area, too. Their presence there raised questions.
Bayatan said CLO will check if DPL violated its business permit.
BTAO officer-in-charge Superintendent Luisito Acebuche led the operation that caught DPL’s van operating like a colorum vehicle.
Councilor Dindo Ramos, chairman of the Sangguniang Panlungsod’s committee on transportation, told Acebuche to submit a report of what exactly transpired during the operation that apprehended a DPL van.
If proven to be operating colorum vans, DPL may lose its business permit, said Ramos.
On Oct. 7, Ramos’ committee conducted a public hearing on Vallacar Transit, Inc. manager Rene Macasa’s complaint that DPL’s area was being utilized as an illegal terminal of colorum vans./PN
