MANILA, Philippines – The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is offering legal assistance to taxi drivers who become victims of abusive passengers.
The offer was made following a case involving former basketball star Paul “Bong” Alvarez.
The former Philippine Basketball Association player is facing physical injury charges for allegedly attacking two people. One of the complainants is taxi driver Wilfredo Cabanlit.
ABS-CBN television reporter Gretchen Malalad also charged Alvarez for allegedly attacking her while she was trying to interview Cabanlit.
LTFRB chair Thompson Lantion said drivers who would be abused could ask their operators to alert the agency if they wanted to file cases in court.
“Our agency has always been open to giving legal advice when they are involved in accidents. But not many drivers know that they can also seek assistance against abusive passengers,” he said.
Lantion said that while the agency did not tolerate such drivers, it would help cabbies victimized by passengers.
“The lives of taxi drivers are always at stake while on the job,” he said. “They ferry strangers who may not have good intentions. It is only fair that we help them.”

These Ugg Cardy Boots are great! So comfortable Mens Ugg Outlet Boots have great look and offer you nice feel. The only negative thing I have to say about them is that Ugg Outlet Bailey Button Boots don’t stay up on my calves. I have muscular calves, so they aren’t very skinny. But, overall, these are great!I bought these Ugg Outlet Bailey Button Kids Boots for my daughter and she loves them. Ugg Outlet Bailey Button Triplet Boots are versatile and can be worn as short or long boots by closing a few buttons. They are warm and she wears them all day.These Ugg Outlet Classic Cardy Boots are so cute. I got the gray color. I am regularly a size 7 1/2 so I ordered the size 7 and Ugg Outlet Classic Mini Boots were way to tight so I had to go up a size to the 8 and Ugg Outlet Classic Shorts Boots are a smidge too big.Anyways,ugg-cardy.org are great Ugg Outlet Classic Tall Bootsbut I have to be very careful about where I wear them so they don’t become dirty, the outside is sweater material.
