WHEREAS, sometime September 2004, a public hearing was set to tackle on the impending fare increase for tricycles for hire from Php3.50 to Php5.00;

WHEREAS, during the said hearing the Tricycle For Hire (TFH) owners and operators agreed to pay the fare adjustment fee of Php300.00 per tricycle unit (d of Section 9, Ordinance 29, Series of 1992) to be collected upon the yearly renewal of their franchises;

WHEREAS, however, due to the high cost of gasoline, diesel and petroleum products that impact the very cost of living, it is deemed that fares in tricycles be adjusted once more. This time, from Php5 to Php7.50;

WHEREAS, in the public hearing set for the abovementioned increase, drivers, operators aired their concern regarding the proposed suspension of the fare adjustment fee of Php300.00 for this particular tariff, so that, they, too, as well can cope up with the crisis of the times;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Cynthia G. Cajudo, with the unanimous accord of the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,
