Question & AnswerQ&A (LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2011-007)
LTFRB Memorandum Circular No. 2011-007 is an amendment to MC 2011-004 concerning the revised terms and conditions of the Certificate of Public Convenience (CPC) and providing penalties for violations thereof.
MC 2011-004 was promulgated pursuant to the powers vested by Executive Order No. 202.
The memorandum circular amended the second paragraph of the provision on Penalties, specifically shifting from violations related to Paragraph 14 to Paragraph 15.
Penalties are prescribed in accordance with Batas Pambansa 344 (BP 344) and Republic Act 7277 as amended.
It takes effect fifteen (15) days following its publication in a newspaper of general circulation and after filing three (3) copies with the UP Law Center as required by Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated October 9, 1992.
Three copies of the memorandum circular must be filed with the UP Law Center pursuant to Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated October 9, 1992.
The document was signed by Atty. Nelson P. Laluces, Chairman; Atty. Manuel M. Iway, Member; Engr. Samuel Julius B. Garcia, Member; and attested by Atty. Dante Xenon B. Atienza, Executive Director.
It mandates the filing of three copies of the circular with the UP Law Center, which is part of the process for the effectivity of administrative issuances.
MC 2011-007 imposes penalties for violations of CPC terms and conditions in accordance with RA 7277, which is the Magna Carta for Persons with Disability, thereby ensuring accessibility and rights protection.
This change likely reflects a reorganization or redefinition of provisions in the CPC terms and conditions, impacting how violations are categorized and penalized under the LTFRB circular.
