The implementation of fast craft in Tingloy has been officially suspended following our collective efforts. I am grateful for the dedication shown by the community in highlighting the genuine needs of our residents. We must now remain diligent to ensure that future transportation policies prioritize both safety and genuine accessibility.

Suspend the implementation of modern fast craft in Tingloy, Batangas
Final supporters
Wooden-hull passenger boats are even phased-out in remote barrios of Tingloy.
The phase-out of wooden-hull boats and the replacement by modern fast craft is supposed to be an improvement for public service. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
This fact does not represent an improvement for the community but instead it is a serious deterioration of safety and public convenience for the following reasons, just to name a few:
• There is no public road access from other barrios like Pisa, Corona, San Isidro, etc by tricycle to Tingloy. How are the inhabitants of these remote barrios supposed to reach the town of Tingloy?
• Trying to reach Tingloy by motorcycle is an expensive undertaking. The cost for a motorcycle is xxx pesos. Considering the income of the local population and the increase in passenger fare for the fast craft, this is a very expensive trip that most people would not be able to afford.
• Supplies cannot be delivered by road, as there is no suitable access.
• Marina suggested for the barrio community to take small boats to reach Tingloy, where the fast crafts are docking. Surely Marina, as the relevant authority, would be aware of the treacherous waters around Tingloy for small boats that would make such travel a dangerous undertaking. This clearly does not improve public service but put public an imminent danger and is prone to accidents.
• In case of Medical emergency, how can a timely transport to the mainland be facilitated?
• There is a wooden-hull boat service from San Juan to Mindoro. Would that also be cancelled? If so, is it expected by Marina that the community travel to Tingloy first, then to Batangas to finally make the trip to Mindoro? At what cost?
• It appears the transition from wooden-hull boats to fast-craft does only benefit the fast-craft providers and there is no tangible benefit for the community of Tingloy.
• The community would expect that Mayor Alvarez would represent the interests of the community of Tingloy as a common voice to Marina.
• Marina did hold a public meeting on July 13, 2020. However, all issues raised by the general community where not being considered and no feedback was provided as obviously the matter was decided already without proper consultation with the community of Tingloy and the meeting was just a formality.

I have been reviewing the feedback provided by residents regarding the daily challenges of accessing Tingloy. These personal accounts highlight the impractical nature of the current maritime policy and the precarious situation created for our remote barrios.

We are approaching the one hundred signature milestone which will serve as a significant indicator of community sentiment. Please direct this petition to residents who are directly impacted by the current transport policies in Tingloy.

Clearly not ready. No alternatives, no consultations, no access roads etc.. for transport in most part of the municipality except motorcycles. Modernization is only good if it benifits the general public not the selected group of individuals.
Sana nmn ay ikonsidira ng mga taga marina ang saloobin ng mga taga bayan ng tingloy sapagkat kami po ang higit n nakakaalam kng ano ang mabuti para sa amin..yon po palitan ng fast craft ang mga bangka n bumibyahe,para sa akin ay isang malaking pagkakamali..salamat po..
Malaki po pagpapahirap ito sa amin sa katulad namin na taga pisa.. malaki ang magiging pamasahe na hnd naman namin afford dahil ano lang naman ang hanapbuhay ng karamihan sa taga tingloy kundi pangingisda lamang..ang ayusin sana ay kuryente dahil patay sindo ang kuryente..
we are against this fast craft as it increases the burden for us. It will be so hard for us living in barangay far from Tingloy pier, it needs a lot of money. This challenging time, they should have mercy to us, if people are sick, it will be harder for them.
Pahirap Yan sa mga tao..marami na nga na mga bangkero nawalan Ng hanapbuhay tapos kapag kelangan lumawas Ng city triple Ang pamasahe..marami pang dapat ayusin at pagtuunan Ng pansin Ang mga namumuno pra ganyang modernisasyon.
Fastcraft is not so helpful for local residents but will be helpful for tourists.
