Those who joined the transport strike may face suspension or outright revocation of their franchises, a ranking official of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board said yesterday.
Members of transport group Manibela stand on a jeepney on East Avenue in Quezon City yesterday as part of their nationwide strike against the jeepney modernization program and alleged corruption in the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board. The group claims that even though major transport groups did not join the strike, their protest still led to disruptions and the suspension of in-person classes.
“I am confident that here in the National Capital Region, 80 percent of the transport was paralyzed as we also went out, unlike Artes who was only inside his office,” Valbuena said in an interview with The STAR. Valbuena said suspended LTFRB chairman Teofilo Guadiz III should not be reinstated after President Marcos ordered his suspension amid corruption allegations against him.According to the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, fewer passenger jeepneys were observed on the following routes: San Juan-Divisoria; Nagtahan-Paco; Balic-balic-Quiapo; San Andres-Padre Faura and Zobel Roxas-Paco.
Despite numerous declarations of class suspensions and shift to remote classes, Artes also asserted the government was not threatened by Manibela’s jeepney strike and even offered free rides.The Quezon City government deployed additional buses to provide free rides to those affected by the transport strike on Monday.
A total of 88 patrol vehicles from several police districts had been deployed. Meanwhile, around 17 vehicles, including two trucks and two buses from the NCRPO, were mobilized to assist affected commuters. Meanwhile, the Muntinlupa City government provided free transportation services to commuters affected by the nationwide public transport strike.
