The Board issued Memorandum Circular No. 2000-020 suspending the implementation of Memorandum Circular No. 2000-014, otherwise known as the markings requirement for PUVs in order to strengthen the enforcing guidelines of the circular.

After a review of the policy, there seems to be some confusion as to which agency in government is duty bound to collect the fine of P5,000.00 as provided for in Memorandum Circular No. 2000-014. Accordingly, in order to avoid any confusion whatsoever, the Board hereby deletes the P5,000.00 fine stated in the said Memorandum Circular, and hereby amends paragraph (4) thereof to read as follows:

"Any operator found to have violated this Memorandum Circular shall be subject to the penalties provided for by law, including preventive suspension of operations until full compliance with the marking requirements, and/or eventual suspension/cancellation of the Certificate of Public Convenience after proper notice and hearing, if warranted."

The suspension order stated in Memorandum Circular No. 2000-020 is hereby lifted and set aside. All issuances, or parts thereof, which are inconsistent herewith are hereby modified accordingly and/or superseded/revoked.

This Memorandum Circular shall take effect fifteen (15) days after the filing of three (3) copies hereof with the U.P. Law Center, in accordance with Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated October 9, 1992.

Adopted: 06 February 2001
