Free renewal of mayor’s permit for trike operators in Roxas City

ROXAS City – The city government announced that renewal of mayor’s permit in 2025 is free for all tricycle operators and drivers in this city.

This comes after the Sangguniang Panlungsod’s (SP) approval of Ordinance No. 093-2024, or the free mayor’s permit renewal for tricycle drivers/operators in 2025.

Mayor Ronnie Dadivas had earlier requested the SP headed by Vice Mayor Teresa Almalbis to expedite the approval of the said ordinance to help tricycle drivers and operators.

Ini nga direktiba aton ipatuman bilang paghatag importansya kag pagrekognisar sang gobyerno lokal sa kontribusyon sang sektor sang transportasyon sa aton komunidad. Bulig man ini agud mapahagan-hagan ang epekto sang mataas nga presyo sang gasolina. Paagi sini mangin mas madasig, insigida kag wala na balayran ang pag-issue sang ila mayor’s permit,” read part of Mayor Dadivas’ statement.

Currently, all tricycle operators are required to secure mayor’s permit in order to operate motorcycle for hire within the territorial of Roxas City.

In order to help the plight of tricycle drivers/operators, the city mayor requested for the suspension of payment for mayor’s permit for fiscal year 2025.

The mayor’s basis for the free renewal of mayor’s permit next year is the Section 16 of Republic Act 7160 that provides that every local government unit shall exercise the power expressly granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary, appropriate, or incidental for it efficient governance, and those which are essential for the promotion of general welfare./PN
