Ayun sa mga MARITES 🤭 BAWAL DAW MAGDESISYON o PUMIRMPA NG KASUNDUAN o CONTRACT SI MAYOR o ANG PUNONG BARANGAY in regards PTMP + EVIDA law support and implementation. Kasi kailangan muna nila ng ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY RESOLUTION na mangagaling sa Brgy o City Council's.😱🤔🕵️🛺

🙈🙄🤔 Well 🕵️🤷ito po ang KATOTOHANAN

📄 POSITION PAPER / PORMAL NA POSISYON

Subject: Legal Basis for LEV Operations & LGU Compliance with EVIDA Law and PTMP
Paksa: Legal na Batayan ng Operasyon ng LEV at Pagsunod ng LGU sa Batas na EVIDA at PTMP

Submitted by: LEVTAXIKYL Admin – Taguig Private E‑Trike / E‑Bike SVC LEVTAXIKYL Treysikel and Pedicab Operation Service & Affiliated Operators
Date: July 23, 2026
For Attention: Office of the City Mayor, Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Taguig, Barangay Captains, PTO / TRU, TMO


📌 PART 1: KEY LEGAL PRINCIPLES

1. National Law Supremacy
Under Article X, Section 5 of the 1987 Constitution, national laws prevail over local ordinances. The EVIDA Law (RA 11697) and Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP) are statutes of the Republic — they take full effect nationwide upon enactment, and do not require a local ordinance to be valid or enforceable.
2. Ministerial Duty of Taguig City Officials
Pursuant to Section 16 and 17 of the Local Government Code (RA 7160), the City Mayor, Barangay Captain, and members of the Sangguniang Panlunsod / Barangay Council have a mandatory, ministerial duty to implement national laws and programs. Local autonomy does not include the right to refuse or delay compliance with duly enacted national legislation.
3. Consultation vs. Contracting Authority
- Consultation, coordination, and accepting applications: No prior council resolution is required. These are core duties of executive officials to engage stakeholders for public service delivery.
- Formal contracts, MOAs involving financial obligations or long‑term commitments: Prior authorization resolution from the Sangguniang is required under Section 22(c) of R.A 7160. However, this does not bar the Taguig City from issuing interim recognition, endorsements, or temporary clearances while the ordinance is being finalized.
4. Legitimacy of Pending Operations
- Under DOTr / LTFRB PTMP Guidelines and LTO Administrative Order No. 2021‑039, operators with complete, duly filed route/franchise applications that are pending approval cannot be considered illegal or colorum while processing is ongoing.
- The absence of a local LEV regulatory ordinance is a failure of the LGU, not a basis to penalize, impound, or ban compliant operators who are ready to serve in accordance with national law.

II. OFFICIAL POSITION

✅ We confirm that our operations are legally grounded in EVIDA Law and PTMP.
✅ We are entitled to interim recognition and protection while Taguig City enacts the required local ordinance.
✅ The Taguig City must prioritize finalizing the LEV Regulation Ordinance without further delay, as mandated by law.
✅ Interim service agreements, route endorsements, and temporary clearances are valid and permitted even before the local ordinance is passed.

📌 PART 2: MGA PANGUNAHING BATAYAN SA BATAS

1. Mas Mataas ang Pambansang Batas
Sa ilalim ng Artikulo X, Seksyon 5 ng 1987 Konstitusyon, laging nangingibabaw ang batas ng bansa kaysa sa ordinansa ng lungsod o barangay. Ang EVIDA Law (RA 11697) at PTMP ay ganap na batas na — epektibo na ito sa buong Pilipinas simula pa lang nang maipasa, at hindi na kailangan ng lokal na ordinansa para magkaroon ng bisa.
2. Tungkulin, Hindi Pagpipilian, ang Pagsunod
Ayon sa Seksyon 16 at 17 ng Local Government Code (RA 7160), obligado at ministerial duty ng Mayor, Kapitan, at mga konsehal na ipatupad ang mga batas at programa ng bansa. Ang local autonomy ay hindi lisensya para hindi sumunod o magpatumpik‑tumpik sa mga utos ng batas.
3. Pagkakaiba ng Pakikipag‑ugnayan at Pumipirma ng Kasunduan
- Pakikipag‑usap, pagtanggap ng aplikasyon, at pagtutulungan: HINDI kailangan ng resolusyon. Ito ay bahagi lang ng trabaho ng mga opisyal para mapaglingkuran ang publiko.
- Pormal na kontrata o MOA na may kasamang pondo o pangmatagalang pangako: KAILANGAN ng pahintulot ng konseho base sa Seksyon 22(c) ng RA 7160. Pero hindi nito pinipigilan ang pagbibigay ng pansamantalang pagkilala, rekomendasyon, o clearance habang inaayos ang ordinansa.
4. Legal ang Operasyon Habang Pending ang Aplikasyon
- Sa ilalim ng mga alituntunin ng DOTr at LTFRB at LTO AO 2021‑039, ang mga operator na nakapagpasa na ng kumpletong aplikasyon ay hindi maituturing na ilegal o colorum habang inaantay ang desisyon.
- Kung wala pang ordinansa ang Taguig, pagkukulang iyon ng LGU — hindi dahilan para parusahan, hulihin, o ipagbawal ang mga sumusunod naman sa batas na handang magserbisyo.


II. AMING OPISYAL NA PANININDIGAN

✅ Legal ang aming pamamasada dahil nakabase ito sa EVIDA at PTMP.
✅ Karapatan naming kilalanin at protektahan habang inaayos ng lungsod ang kailangang ordinansa.
✅ Dapat unahin at tapusin na ng Taguig City ang LEV Ordinance nang walang dagdag na pagkaantala, ayon sa utos ng batas.
✅ Pwede nang magkaroon ng pansamantalang kasunduan, rekomendasyon sa ruta, o clearance — hindi na kailangang hintayin pa ang ordinansa bago ito gawin.

📌 “Ang EVIDA at PTMP ay batas na ng bansa. Ang tungkulin ng Mayor at Konseho ay ipatupad ito, hindi maghintay na may gawa munang ordinansa bago kumilos. Ang ordinansa ay paraan lang para iakma sa Taguig, pero hindi ito ang pinagkukunan ng bisa ng aming karapatang magserbisyo. Habang kumpleto ang aming aplikasyon at sumusunod sa patakaran, legal at may karapatan kaming magpatuloy — at ang pagkaantala ng ordinansa ay hindi dapat maging dahilan para harangin kami.”

ROUTE APPLICATION, RECOMMENDATION AND LEGAL BASIS

Based on Taguig Transport Management Office data, existing franchise rules, DILG‑DOTr guidelines, and LPTRP, below is the clear breakdown: which areas have TODA exclusive rights, where E‑Trikes/LEVs can operate, and how we can co‑exist:


📍 DISTRICT 1 BARANGAYS: TODA EXCLUSIVITY & LEV COVERAGE

Legend:
🔴 TODA EXCLUSIVE – Only franchised gasoline tricycles allowed; LEVs only as feeder/extension with agreement
🟡 SHARED / OPEN – Both TODA and accredited LEVs allowed; no exclusive monopoly
🟢 LEV PRIORITY / FEEDER – LEVs encouraged for last‑mile, industrial, narrow lanes

| No. | Barangay | TODA Exclusive Rights? | Status for E‑Trike / LEV | Key Notes |
|:---:|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bagumbayan | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Allowed | Existing TODA serves main stops; LEVs for inner lanes, coastal areas, people’s market |
| 2 | Bambang | 🔴 Main Roads Exclusive | ✅ Inner roads only | M.L. Quezon main stretch = TODA; side streets/riverside = open to LEV |
| 3 | Calzada | 🔴 Main Roads Exclusive | ✅ Inner/feeder only | Same as Bambang; main corridor reserved for existing TODA |
| 4 | Hagonoy | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Narrow coastal lanes; no formal exclusivity; LEVs well suited here |
| 5 | Ibayo‑Tipas | 🔴 Town center exclusive | ✅ Residential/feeder only | Commercial core = TODA; subdivisions/back lanes = open |
| 6 | Ligid‑Tipas | 🔴 Town center exclusive | ✅ Residential/feeder only | Same as Ibayo‑Tipas |
| 7 | Lower Bicutan | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Large area; multiple zones; no single exclusive TODA monopoly |
| 8 | New Lower Bicutan | 🟢 LEV‑Friendly | ✅ Priority allowed | Newer subdivisions; narrower roads; highly suitable for LEV |
| 9 | Napindan | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Coastal/isolated; TODA coverage thin; big need for extra units |
|10 | Palingon | 🔴 Main junction exclusive | ✅ Feeder only | Main intersection = TODA; inner routes open |
|11 | San Miguel | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Mix of residential/industrial; no strict exclusivity |
|12 | Santa Ana | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Same as San Miguel |
|13 | Tuktukan | 🔴 Poblacion exclusive | ✅ Surrounding areas only | Public market/city hall vicinity = TODA exclusive |
|14 | Ususan | 🟢 LEV‑Friendly | ✅ Priority allowed | Large residential/industrial zones; many narrow lanes |
|15 | Wawa | 🟡 Shared | ✅ Fully allowed | Riverside/coastal; no strict exclusivity |


🚧 ROADS WITH STRONG TODA EXCLUSIVITY

These main corridors are traditionally reserved for existing TODA franchises:

- Full stretch of M.L. Quezon Street (main spine District 1)
- Tuktukan Public Market → Calzada → Tipas junction
- Main access roads to terminal hubs

✅ AREAS WHERE WE HAVE CLEAR ADVANTAGE / NO EXCLUSIVITY

- All inner residential streets, subdivisions, and dead‑ends
- Coastal roads: Bagumbayan, Napindan, Hagonoy, Wawa
- Industrial zones: TBICAI, Mañalac Avenue, factory areas
- Narrow lanes too tight for regular tricycles
- New subdivisions with no existing TODA coverage


📌 LEGAL BASIS FOR THIS

- DILG‑DOTr JMC 01 s. 2017: Tricycles limited to local roads; LEVs recognized as separate feeder mode
- EVIDA Law RA 11697: LEVs shall not be restricted unreasonably; shall complement not compete unfairly
- TODA Magna Carta: Existing franchises respected, but no permanent monopoly over entire barangay
- LPTRP: Feeder/last‑mile routes prioritized for LEVs

💡 RECOMMENDATION FOR OUR ROUTE APPLICATION

“We respect existing TODA franchises on main thoroughfares. Our LEV units will operate as complementary service on inner barangay roads, coastal areas, industrial zones, and underserved routes — without taking over existing fixed TODA trips.”

This removes opposition and complies fully with rules!

INTRODUCTION

Barriers and Opportunities for E‑Trikes/E‑Bikes vs. Motorized Tricycles

Electric tricycles (E‑trikes) and electric bikes (E‑bikes) were first promoted nationwide under the Philippine government’s eco‑friendly transport campaign launched in 2012. Today, 623 distinct electric vehicle (EV) types have been demonstrated and deployed across various Local Government Units (LGUs). This EV program is one of the country’s key initiatives to build a sustainable, energy‑efficient, and low‑carbon transport future.

In January 2012, the Department of Energy (DOE) launched the Bright Now! Do Right, Be Bright – Go E‑Trike! design contest, to develop Philippine‑spec “Green Vehicle” alternatives that cut vehicular emissions far below levels from conventional tricycles.

Motorized tricycles are a major source of air pollution, releasing carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and toxic particulate matter — worsening smog, ozone layer depletion, and public health risks. Currently, 99% of Taguig’s tricycle fleet runs on 4‑stroke gasoline engines. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has warned that Philippine carbon emissions from road transport could nearly quadruple within 25 years without urgent action.

To address this, the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (RA 8749) and ADB‑DOE partnerships have prioritized replacing fossil‑fuel tricycles with electric alternatives. E‑trikes reduce carbon emissions, eliminate tailpipe pollutants, lower fuel consumption, cut national oil dependence, and raise driver incomes over time.

To date, no formal study has been released by Taguig City assessing the social, political, and economic impacts of shifting to LEVs in the city. This report fills that gap, drawing on our 2021–2026 pilot program:

- We tested 500MP EV Passenger and Cargo E‑bikes / E‑trikes compliant with LTO TRU classification and national LEV standards
- Trials ran for one year with Taguig Traffic Management Office (TMO) oversight, evaluating readiness, safety, cost efficiency, and sustainability

Taguig’s population grows annually, alongside expanding commercial hubs — driving higher demand for first‑ and last‑mile transport. The tricycle sector remains a critical livelihood source for thousands of residents; operators also form a key stakeholder base for local policy. While the shift to LEVs carries upfront costs, it offers long‑term gains for commuters, operators, and the city.

SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL SUSTAINABILITY

Cost, Market Context, Partnerships, and Livelihood

Previously, locally assembled E‑trikes such as the BMAC model were offered at around ₱200,000 per unit. However, current pricing from local manufacturers has risen sharply: locally made units now cost ₱450,000 or more.

Meanwhile, fully electric imported E‑trikes and E‑bikes that meet LTO and EVIDA standards are far more affordable, priced at ₱60,000 to ₱80,000 per unit. Hybrid (gasoline‑electric) LEV models also cost only ₱220,000 and above. This significant price gap is the primary reason compliant imported LEVs have become far more popular among operators compared to higher‑priced locally assembled units.

This affordability barrier can be addressed through public‑private partnerships (PPPs), authorized under Republic Act 7160 or the 1991 Local Government Code of the Philippines. LGUs may:

- Procure compliant units in bulk to secure lower pricing
- Accredited both locally assembled and imported units that meet national safety and classification standards
- Partner with suppliers to arrange direct, low‑cost financing for operators

For Taguig’s 5,000+ registered tricycle operators, electric units cut long‑term maintenance and running costs far below gasoline tricycles. Supporting this transition — including access to cost‑effective, compliant vehicle options — builds broad public support for local government, meeting the needs of commuters and driver‑operator families alike.

Stakeholder backing for LEV adoption is strong — except for concerns over upfront capital, which many drivers say they cannot cover alone. The City Government may address this by:

- Subsidizing part or all of unit costs in early implementation phases
- Launching low‑interest, government‑guaranteed financing
- Offering tax incentives for private partners investing in LEV fleets or charging infrastructure

This modernized transport system will directly serve Bagumbayan, Lower Bicutan, and adjacent barangays — signaling openness to clean technology while reducing harm from fossil‑fuel vehicles.

Policy and Regulatory Authority

Per national guidance, local transport reforms like this require a City Ordinance, consistent with practices in other Metro Manila cities. Key considerations for the Sanggunian Panlungsod (City Council) include:

1. Securing alternative livelihood support for any displaced workers
2. Designing fair, phased cost‑sharing for units
3. Expanding access to credit without strict collateral requirements
4. Accrediting all LTO/EVIDA‑compliant LEVs regardless of origin
5. Encouraging private sector investment in charging stations and maintenance hubs

This reform falls within the general welfare mandate of the Sanggunian, which holds full authority to:

- Approve the updated Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) including LEV zones
- Issue, amend, or withdraw public transport franchises
- Mandate the shift to zero‑emission vehicles for local transport

Inaction risks economic stagnation; proactive policy will drive inclusive growth and better quality of life for all Taguig residents.

Survey Findings

We interviewed 100 tricycle operators and commuters:

- ✅ 50 fully support integrating E‑trikes/E‑bikes into Taguig’s transport system
- ℹ️ 15 need more information on rules, costs, and safety
- 💸 10 cite limited funds to purchase units
- ⏳ 25 remain neutral or prefer gradual adoption

PILOT RESULTS, PUBLIC ACCEPTABILITY, AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Public Acceptability

Interviews during pilot operations showed very high public acceptance:

- 24 out of 41 commuters stated they prefer LEVs, citing improved hygiene and safety — preferences strengthened by COVID‑19 pandemic health awareness
- LEVs have also seen steady ridership growth as commuters seek reliable, affordable local transport

Alignment with New Laws and Regulations

This proposal fully complies with all current national rules:

- Republic Act 11697: Electric Vehicle and Charging Stations Act
- LTO EV Special Order No. A01‑2021‑39: Classification, Registration, and Operation Rules for E‑Bikes and E‑Trikes
- DOTr‑DILG Joint Memorandum Circular: Guidelines for updating LGU LPTRPs to include LEV routes
- EVIDA 2025 Guidelines: LEV accreditation, route consolidation, and operational standards

Our association urges Taguig’s elected officials to resolve long‑standing regulatory gaps — now stretching 8–9 years — for LEV operations. This is especially urgent for Barangay Bagumbayan, where narrow roads make compact, low‑emission E‑trikes/E‑bikes the ideal solution to persistent traffic congestion.

Environmental and Operational Findings

E‑trikes and E‑bikes deliver clear benefits:

- Near‑silent operation
- Fewer moving parts, simpler maintenance
- 70–80% lower daily running costs
- Zero tailpipe emissions
- Powered entirely by electricity

Mainstream adoption will reduce Philippine oil imports and improve air quality across Taguig.

In our field trials with units from EcoDrive, Johnson, and NWOW:

- 3 E‑trikes/E‑bikes carried passengers and delivered cargo across barangays
- No fossil fuels were used; no greenhouse gas emissions were generated during trips

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Key Conclusions

1. Taguig residents and operators broadly support the shift to LEVs, which match the needs of narrow local roads far better than gasoline tricycles.
2. Compliant locally assembled and imported LEVs meet all national safety, classification, and environmental standards.
3. Upfront costs and limited financing remain the main barriers — solvable via LGU subsidies, PPPs, inclusive accreditation, and credit programs.
4. This transition aligns with every applicable national law and LGU planning requirement.

Recommendations

1. Enact a City Ordinance formally recognizing LEVs as a legitimate public transport mode, approving our proposed zonal routes, and accrediting all LTO/EVIDA‑compliant units regardless of origin.
2. Include our proposed routes in Taguig’s official LPTRP and submit to DOTr‑LTO‑EVIDA for validation.
3. Launch a City LEV Transition Program with subsidies, partner financing, and charging station rollout.
4. Form a joint task force with LGU, TMO, law enforcement, and our association to oversee phased implementation and enforcement.
5. Start full rollout in Bagumbayan and Lower Bicutan before expanding to other Barangays.
