In a landmark move that reshapes the landscape of public transport advocacy, the country’s largest and most influential transport leaders have united in support of the Angkasangga Partylist, formally signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with its first nominee, George Royeca, in a summit that underscored long-awaited sectoral solidarity.
Representing a wide coalition of national organizations — including tricycles (TODA), UV Express, jeepneys, van rentals, and taxis — this alliance signals the consolidation of transport voices long divided by sectoral disputes and policy fragmentation. For the first time in decades, these groups have come together under a shared vision: a unified, empowered, and dignified future for every transport worker in the Philippines.
The historic MoA affirms collective action on pressing transport issues such as livelihood protection, modernization with dignity, and inclusive legislation. It also marks a turning point in relations between traditional transport groups and emerging mobility platforms, highlighting a commitment to cooperation over conflict in the evolving public transport ecosystem.
