Members of transport group Piston's chapter in Cebu will not participate in the nationwide transport strike and will instead hold protests against the government's Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program.
MEMBERS of transport group Piston ’s chapter in Cebu will not join the two-day nationwide transport strike organized by its parent organization and Manibela. The strike is scheduled to start on Monday, April 15, 2024, in protest of the government’s Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program , which has an upcoming deadline for traditional jeepney operators’ consolidation.
This consolidation will later require the replacement of traditional jeepneys with modern units featuring Euro 4-compliant or electric engines to reduce pollution.Piston Cebu has said its call to scrap the PUVMP remains, as the program forces traditional jeepney operators to not only give up their individual franchises and vehicles but also to buy, using debt, what he called imported, expensive, non-sustainable and frail vehicles, which the operators and drivers would now struggle to pay for.
