The United Negros Transport Coalition held a surprise action inside the city hall of Bacolod last August 28 to dialogue with the city mayor. They were met by the city council which, after hearing them, issued a resolution asking the LTFRB to withdraw the PUVMP and give back their individual franchises.

On September 2-3, the UNTC picketed the LTFRB Region 6 office, along with groups of drivers in Panay. The group delivered the Bacolod City local government’s resolution to push the agency to take action.

Meanwhile, Piston submitted on August 28 a petition with the signatures of 1,000 drivers who seek to withdraw from the consolidated franchises they were forced into.
