More than 100,000 public utility vehicles are set to participate in a weeklong transport strike to express opposition to the government's PUV Modernization Program.
“Wala na munang diyalogo, I will stand on my ground. Tuloy nalang namin ito, kung ganyang nayayabangan na lang tayo. Subukan po natin sa Lunes, subukan po natin ng isang lnggo magkakaalaman po tayo,” he said.Over 100,000 PUVs in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Bicol Region, and Cagayan De Oro were expected to participate in the strike.
Meanwhile, National Center for Commuter Safety and Protection Chairperson Elvira Medina said the transport strike would be a major nuisance, especially to workers. She also warned that the strike might affect the public's access to health care and students attending face-to-face classes.
