protest as more groups, including those in the provinces, vowed to prolong their condemnation of the government’s seeming inaction on controlling the spikes in oil prices.Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chairman Romano Artes inspects the agency’s vehicles to be used to ferry passengers that would be stranded by a declared strike by public transport groups on Tuesday, which fizzled out.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority confirmed the lack of “strike” movement in the NCR, as it said there was “no report of any stranded passengers along all major roads and secondary roads” and “no sighting or report of driver strikers grouping anywhere in Metro Manila.”But the National Public Transport Coalition said they, Piston or the other groups didn’t need to do a transport strike because they were very close to not plying their routes owing to the expensive fuel costs.
[Whatever we do, even if we want to serve our passengers, among our workmates and comrades, we agree that we cannot afford the high prices of crude and gasoline.] But Lim doesn’t see government doleouts as a long-term solution to the fuel crisis, noting that the subsidy money would last most jeepney drivers just a few days, as a 40-liter full tank at current prices would cost well over P2,800.
The United Negros Drivers and Operators Center , Sentrong Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operators Negros and Federation of Bacolod Drivers Association released a joint statement likewise condemning the continuing price increase of fuels caused by the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
