Valenzuela City Mayor Rex Gatchalian threatened to file charges against those who joined the jeepney strike on Monday, leaving countless commuters stranded in the city.

The Valenzuela City Transport Alliance went on strike and staged a rally in front of the Valenzuela City Hall to protest the full-blown implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Program .

Earlier, the transport group members claimed that they were not invited to a public hearing for the city ordinance and that Gatchalian never met them when they sought to dialogue. In a letter addressed to Gatchalian, the Valenzuela City Transport Alliance said they want to hold the implementation of NCAP, put it up for public consultation, and lower the fines for traffic violations.

“The city government has listened to them so many times already. I personally spoke with them. They do not want to listen. So you mean to tell me we just stop because a sector refuses? As far as we’re concerned, due process and fair play has been accorded to them already,” he said in a tweet.
