KALIBO, Aklan – The Sangguniang Bayan in this capital town has opened the franchise renewal of tricycles as public transport through a drop box.

“The local government unit of Kalibo, through the Office of the Sangguniang Bayan (OSB), is presently following strict health protocols due to the pandemic brought about by the threats of COVID-19. As such, the LGU-OSB adopts measures that would ensure health and safety of the employees and its clients while able to deliver basic services,” said Vice Mayor Cynthia Dela Cruz.

According to her, a drop box has been placed in the OSB where a franchise operator could place his/her documents. The operator will receive a text message when the application for renewal is being processed.

“At times, they will be asked to bring lacking documents next time they come,” she added.

After the processing of renewal, the next step for the operator is to pay the fees at the Provincial Treasurer’s Office. The receipt of the payment should be then placed by the applicant in the drop box provided.
“We will then inform the operator of the scheduled seminar which is to be done online,” said Dela Cruz./PN
