Protesting the skyrocketing price of fuel, jeepney drivers and operators will stage a transport strike today even as the government will provide free rides in Metro Manila to shield commuters from it.Jeepney drivers and operators hold up placards at the corner of Katipunan Avenue and Aurora Boulevard in Quezon City to start their weeklong protest against rising oil prices.On Monday, oil companies announced they would raise the price of diesel—the fuel used by jeepneys—by a staggering P13.
“This would be a big help to increase the earnings of drivers for our necessities especially as prices of petroleum products continue to rise,” Rebano told CNN Philippines. He also said the Pasig River Ferry Service, serving as alternative transport for commuters, is operational Mondays to Saturdays. Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi said in a TV interview President Rodrigo Duterte is calling for a meeting Tuesday with DOE and Department of Finance officials to discuss a possible suspension of the excise tax on fuel products.
The chairman of the Independent Philippine Petroleum Companies Association , Fernando Martinez, told the Senate Monday that the oil companies supported calls to suspend the collection of excise taxes. He said increasing the MIR would increase prices “because prices are demand driven so if everybody starts buying double then you exacerbate the requirement.”
