QUEZON CITY -- NATCCO has approved loans to three transport co-operatives to acquire modern jeepneys for business expansion and service to commuters in their respective routes.  

In a simple ceremony at the Soleste Hotel on November 13, officials of the three co-ops and NATCCO Chief Executive Officer, Sylvia Paraguya, signed the loan contract.  

A total amount of Php 28.55 Million was released to enable the co-ops to acquire nine modern jeepneys.
