MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has declared Oct. 19 of every year as “Transport Cooperative Day” to highlight the sector’s contribution to advancing public transportation.

Marcos signed on Oct. 28 Proclamation 723, directing the Department of Transportation (DOTr), along with the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board and the Office of Transportation Cooperatives, to lead the annual observance of the Transport Cooperative Day.

“Through the years, transport cooperatives have played a significant role in promoting government-cooperative sector collaboration, empowering communities, and advancing public transportation, as highlighted in the success of the Public Transport Modernization Program,” said the proclamation, a copy of which was released on Saturday.

“There is a need to recognize the significant contributions of transport cooperatives in ensuring the advancement of the TCP (Transport Cooperative Program) and in providing meaningful and responsive service to the transport sector, as well as to agencies, institutions, and individuals.”

All government agencies and instrumentalities, including government-owned or -controlled corporations, government financial institutions, and state universities and colleges, are enjoined to participate and assist the DOTr to ensure the success of the activities marking Transport Cooperative Day.

Local government units, non-government organizations, and the private sector are encouraged to support the celebration of the event.
