The Board has observed that schools, ordinarily, do not enter into contracts for school transport services thus making it impossible for applicant operators to comply with Memorandum Circular Number 98-005.

In view thereof, Memorandum Circular Number 98-005 is hereby amended by deleting the phrase invariably requiring a valid contract between the school and transport provider, in lieu thereof, the following phrase shall be included, to wit: "a certification from any school recognized organization, such as Parents and Teachers Association, a school Cooperative or Transport Committee, if any, or if there is none, a certification from the school itself, attesting to the fact that the applicant-operator shall be servicing students coming from the said school."

All issuances, or parts thereof, which are inconsistent herewith are hereby modified accordingly and/or superseded/revoked.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.
