“Sa una, gobernador pa ko, duna na untay pulisiya ana apan di man guro mapatuman kay wala may laing kasakyan ,” said Garcia.Presently, Garcia said there are already available buses in most towns, and these should have been used instead of the dump trucks because buses are safer for passengers. Garcia also reminded the chief executives of the provincial towns and cities that all employees, even job order employees, should undergo proper training before they could begin to render service to the government.Trainings should be done especially for technical services that handles safety of the public such as drivers to make sure that the employee is fit and capable to render service.
