Soc recognizes jeepney barkers | The Freeman >> The Freeman Sections >> Cebu News

CEBU, Philippines – Instead of apprehending them, Talisay City Mayor Socrates Fernandez has embraced jeepney barkers by providing them with identification cards which would allow them to continue with their unlawful work.

At least 10 barkers who operate under the flyover of the busy district of barangay Tabunok have been given IDs by the city hall.

Fernandez said he could not allow the families of these people to go hungry.

In 2006, during his stint as the city's vice mayor, Aberdovey Belleza, being chairman on council committee on Peace and Order and Public Safety, warned the barkers they would be apprehended and fined if they continue doing it.

Belleza's move came after a group of Tabunok jeepney drivers complained about the barkers, saying they were harassed by these same people.

The drivers likened the barkers to sharks, who collected P5 from them whenever they passed under the fly-over.

Several dispatchers operate in the area, and the P5 given to each of them created a dent on their pockets, the drivers said.

The city has however no anti-dispatching ordinance.

But its traffic law dictates that it is illegal to obstruct the flow of traffic; and under the national law, people who extort money from helpless people, like the drivers in this case, are penalized. (FREEMAN)

unsa gipasabot aning jeepney barkers?

[friedrich]

kana na sila mga manawag ug pasahero. gitawag ni sila ug "dispatchers" diri. pwesto na sila kilid sa dalan. kanang sige pangayo ug kwarta sa mga driver. mangisog pa jd ug dili hatagan.

Soc Fernandez is a very incompetent mayor. He tries to show a "good" or "righteous" image hiding behind the Bible when in fact, he's not using his head. If his concern is to provide a living for these people, he should not bend the law but rather should come up with lawful and intelligent solutions. He could come up with livelihood programs in Talisay or open income generating opportunities.

He can't control Joavan and comes up with very stupid reasons that "love will change Joavan". Well, how many trouble will Joavan create before he'll become a "good" man? If Soc thinks about Joavan, why isn't he thinking about the people that Joavan affected? The welfare of Talisay City?

As far as responsibilities of a mayor is concerned, Soc is a DISGRACE! Matngon na mo taga Talisay!

[friedrich]

yeah. that's one word description of our dear mayor



"At least 10 barkers who operate under the flyover of the busy district of barangay Tabunok have been given IDs by the city hall. Fernandez said he could not allow the families of these people to go hungry."


what is 10 barkers against 30-50 drivers nga kilkilan aning mga barkers/dispatchers? maayo pa gitaga-an ni ni soc ug tarong nga trabaho ning mga tawhana.

[Tarzan]

tsk tsk tsk! paeta. mayor, mao bitaw naa mo sa postion para unta masulbad ni, dili para dungagan. Pstilan, kani hinoon ako kay opinion sa usa ka tawo ra. Kung mahadlok ka nga mawad-an na ug trabaho, palambo-a nang Talisay, create job openings sa sakto nga pa-agi, ayaw nang illegal, imong e-legalize. Ang pasahero mo sakay ra na bisan wala ning mga tawhana. sigi pa na ug pangayo sa mga driver. Dili man gud ka tigsakayan ug jeep, siguro panalagsa, mao dili nimo makita ang among nakit.

AHH!! (after ten deep breath......) bootan ra kaayo ni nga mayor. usahay sobra sa bootan wala na sa lugar. disciplina, disciplinaha ang mga tawo nimo sama sa disciplina nga wala nimo mahatag sa imong anak. (Murag suko pako da....hmmm....breathing exercise napod.)

mayor, you are a good man and you don't have to change to be a competent mayor. pero usahay, kaning kaooy, ibutang nato sa lugar.

dili ko taga Talisay pero naka dungog ko nga mao dili gyud maka daog ni si Aber kay tungod sa iyang pagka disciplinarian. Paita, unya mangutana pa ta ngano hinay kaayo atong asenso? I think, I could be wrong, nga kung wala paloyohi sa power and money ni Gullas ang Talisay, mas hinay pa gyud ang asenso ani. discipline, disciplina ang atong kinahanglan.
