QuestionsQuestions (LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 93-008)
The LTFRB cited Section 5(j) of Executive Order (EO) No. 202, dated June 19, 1987, as the authority to fix the filing fees.
It took effect immediately.
For applications for issuance of Provisional Authorities (PAs): P210.00 for the first 5 units plus P35.00 for each additional unit in excess of 5.
The fee is P210.00 because it covers only the first 5 units with no additional units beyond 5.
First 5 units = P210.00. Additional units = 8 − 5 = 3 units. Additional fee = 3 × P35.00 = P105.00. Total = P210.00 + P105.00 = P315.00.
For applications for Dual Service: P420.00 for the first 5 units plus P35.00 for each additional unit in excess of 5.
First 5 units = P420.00. Additional units = 7 − 5 = 2 units. Additional fee = 2 × P35.00 = P70.00. Total = P420.00 + P70.00 = P490.00.
It refers to an application type allowing a dual operation/service arrangement, subject to the Circular’s conditions and applicable fee schedule.
Dual Service may be allowed for PUJ or mini-bus units with PUJ body designs or configurations.
No. The Circular states that Dual Service “may be allowed” only for PUJ or mini-bus units with PUJ body designs or configurations, indicating discretion and a condition.
It standardizes and sets a specific monetary requirement for certain franchise-related applications, likely to cover processing and administrative costs and ensure uniformity.
After the Circular’s effect, applicants must comply with the newly fixed filing fees for the specified application types.
It was signed by LTFRB officials (Chairman and board members). This indicates that the Board (LTFRB) adopted and issued the Circular under its delegated authority.
The fee schedule would depend on the application type actually filed. Provisional Authority applications follow the P210.00-first-5-units schedule; Dual Service applications follow the P420.00-first-5-units schedule.
For both Provisional Authority and Dual Service, it adds P35.00 for each unit in excess of 5.
