Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board(LTFRB)

I, Corleone Ibarra Subiela, with Errol Matthew Fredeluces and Andrei Bryan Tagum, are third-year students from the University of Santo Tomas Department of Journalism. We write to request records maintained by the Land Transport Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in relation to the data of Standardized Jeepney Fare Matrix (January 2021 - January 2025). I would thus like to request your kind assistance for me to be able to secure the data below in spreadsheet (xlsx) format: - Standard fares of traditional Filipino jeepneys in the year 2021 from January to December - Standard fares of traditional Filipino jeepneys in the year 2022 from January to December - Standard fares of traditional Filipino jeepneys in the year 2023 from January to December - Standard fares of traditional Filipino jeepneys in the year 2024 from January to December I request the data for research and reporting purposes. Kindly note too that the data is being requested for the purpose of my preliminary paper assigned by our course facilitator, Mr. Nathaniel Melican. You may please contact Mr. Melican through his email below, should you have any query about this request. You may also please contact me and my fellow members through our emails and telephone numbers below. We are aware prior to this request of our rights to information from public officials as instituted in the 1987 Constitution, whose provisions are stated respectively below: "The Right of the people to information on matters of public concern, shall be recognized. Access to official records and to documents, and to papers pertaining to official acts, transactions or decisions, as well as to government research data, shall be afforded the citizen, subject to such limitations as may be provided by the law, (1987 Constitution, Article 3, Section 7)" We would also like to ask for a fee waiver towards the receiving of the documents constituting efforts that we as well as our professor will be the only ones that can access the data. Hoping for your kind consideration, Thank you.
