You can now bring your pets when riding public transport. This after the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) issued Memorandum Circular No. 2019-019 amending Memorandum Circular No. 2011-004 which allows pet animals in Public Utility Vehicles (PUVs).

However, as stated in MC 2019-019 which was signed last April 15, 2019, pets may only be allowed in PUVs if they comply with the following provisions:

These animals are put inside carriers/cages and placed at designated animal compartment of the PUV, should there be other passengers inside the PUV. If there are no other passengers, pets may be allowed to be carried by the owner as long as said animals are free from foul odor and that the owner maintains cleanliness and sanitation. Further, the possessor or pet owner shall be responsible for the damage that the pet may cause, including the cleaning and sanitation of the PUV, as may be necessary. and Safety, convenience and comfort of the passengers shall not in any way be sacrificed.
