Greetings!
I am a graduating student taking up the course BS Geography and I'd like to request for the specifications on the scope of the jeepney modernization act. This would help with my Bachelor's thesis wherein I am studying the areas affected by the jeepney modernization. Such as what areas and routes are under the scope of the modernization and what franchises have had their jeepneys updated to the modern euro 4 engine jeepneys. Thank you and hoping for a fast and favorable reply.
Best Regards,
Ken Pullante

Dear Kriscia,
Thank you for the fast response! I apologize for not clarifying the request I made, but yes I did specifically mean the "Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program". Although with regards to the data and information, I would like to ask for mainly the jeepneys/PUJ side of the program so as to help with my undergraduate thesis. Reasons for this would be so that I could be able to specify my study areas as it is unclear where the PUVMP is being enforced, for I have noticed how sparse they are. It would also be very helpful for the analysis to know how many jeepneys have been modernized as of this year.
Also with regards to the letter of intent, how should I go about in sending this to you and your office? I apologize for the simple question but this is my first time availing of the service and I am unsure as to how to send the file to you. Any help with regards to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Ken Pullante
