Abstract

The Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP) of the Philippines aims to upgrade the country's road-based public transportation system by introducing safer and more environmentally friendly vehicles, improving regulations, and consolidating the company. This study adopts a qualitative, phenomenological approach to investigate PAJODA Jeepney drivers' awareness, stance, and coping strategies in PUVMP. The study utilized guide questions and group interviews to collect perceptive data from the participants, which are then transcribed, evaluated, classified, and broken down into themes revealed by data analysis. The findings of this study could be a valuable resource for people interested in conducting similar or related research in the near future.
