Claire de la Fuente Appeals Cancellation of Bus Franchise



Claire de la Fuente is appealing the LTFRB's decision to cancel the franchise of the 107 buses owned by her company, Philippine Corinthian Liner. The cancellation stemmed from the bus strike in Nov 2010 that left hundreds of Metro Manila commuters stranded.

Claire and the person lawyering for this so-called businesswoman argued that the decision was baseless and malicious and that the LTFRB just wanted to make an example out of her to scare smaller operators into towing the line.

Claire presented evidence that all her buses, except those covered by the number-coding, plied their routes the day of the strike. During the hearings, according to LTFRB, these documents were just a figment of Claire's and her lawyer's imagination. Seeing that she got too cocky too soon, she showed the documents after the decision had been handed down.

It also bears mentioning that Claire did not deny participating in the strike during the hearings and she was heard all over radio threatening a strike.

This fucking bitch! She embodies what is wrong with capitalism. It makes one think Marx had the right idea.

Claire is a money-hungry businesswoman who has grown too big for her breeches. You do not go on strike when your source of income is threatened. You try to arrive at compromise.

Let us assume that Claire is being made an example of to smaller bus operators. There is nothing wrong with that. You do not dictate the government because those bus franchises you hold are a privilege. You and the other bus operators are at the mercy of the government and the riding public, not the other way around, you bitch.

Claire is calling herself the "poster girl" of the industry. It comes to find posters you find behind doors that are made a target ala-dart boards. I want this poster of Claire and punch it in the face.

107 buses, the bitch! Imagine how much carbon dioxide emission would be saved and how many other air pollutants would be eliminated if this bitch's 107 buses are gone for good.

Another thing to hate this bitch about is when you travel to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong and you ride their rail system. It makes you envious, which is not a good feeling. You dream about a time when Claire and her ilk are no longer around to make daily commuting a living hell.

Third thing to hate about Claire is she leaves me with a nasty feeling whenever I see her mug on TV and hear her voice on radio.

Save it, Claire! Your cabalen Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is no longer in power, you bitch.
