CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (MindaNews/25 March) – Civil society organizations (CSOs) have asked President Benigno Simeon Aquino III to look into the “overstaying” regional director of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) in Northern Mindanao, saying that Dir. Mandangan Darimbang does not have a “franchise” to his office.
The issue of Darimbang’s stay in the LTFRB, which dates back to 1988 during the term of the late President Corazon Aquino, was one of the issues raised by civil society organizations during the consultation with the President at Pilgrim Christian College Wednesday.[]
Darimbang, however, denied that his stint in the LTFRB here is continuous, noting that he had been assigned to Cotabato before going back to his present position during the time of former President Joseph Estrada.[]
The broad CSO coalition that presented issues to the President last Wednesday is composed of non-government organizations, lay religious organizations and the academe. (BenCyrus G. Ellorin / MindaNews)
