MANILA, Philippines — Foreign business groups are urging Congress to approve a bill that would create a body to probe transportation-related accidents and incidents. Groups Safe Travel Alliance, International Air Transport Association and Air Carriers Association of the Philippines have also joined JFC’s call. After the bill is ratified, it can be endorsed to President Duterte for approval into law. In the creation of the PTSB, the aim is to improve transportation safety measures to help prevent accidents and mitigate dangers to human lives and property. The PTSB would also ensure transportation safety standards are implemented.
