Drivers of public utility vehicles (PUVs) enrolled in the government's service contracting program have appealed for assistance due to delayed payments, according to a report by GMA News Online.
The drivers, who operate under the program designed to support the public transport sector, said they have not received their wages on time, causing financial hardship. They urged the government to address the issue and ensure timely disbursement of funds.
The service contracting program was implemented to provide financial assistance to PUV drivers affected by the pandemic and other challenges. However, participants claim that bureaucratic delays have prevented them from receiving their due payments.
