Records of the Board reveal that influx of Motion to Allow Late Calibration, Motion for Reconsideration to Lift Order of Cancellation for Failure to Calibrate, and Motions of the same nature are continuously being filed before the Receiving Section of this Board. In view thereof, and due to the persistent appeal by Taxi Operators Association that they are willing to pay the penalty for late calibration, the Cancellation of Certificate of Public Convenience for failure to undertake the calibration and sealing/resealing of taxi meters within the prescribed period set by the Board shall be LIFTED and SET ASIDE, and all pending Motions as above-stated shall be considered MOOT and ACADEMIC with the issuance of this Memorandum Circular. Provided that, they shall still pay the penalty imposed under Board Resolution No. 4, Series of 2004, dated November 12, 2004, and other related fees and charges.

The Management Information Division is hereby directed to update the records of Taxi Operators whose Certificates of Public Convenience (CPC) was cancelled and revoked by virtue of Memorandum Circular 2004-042 dated December 13, 2004, upon submission of proof of payment of penalty, and must indicate therein that the CPC cancelled and revoked was lifted and set aside, or in case there is a pending Motion, the same shall be deemed moot and academic by this Memorandum Circular.

This Memorandum Circular supersedes any and all issuances inconsistent herewith, and takes effect immediately.

SO ORDERED.
