Jeepney Strike

On November 19, 2023, ABS-CBN TV Patrol reported that the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is seeking a dialogue with the transport group in an attempt to persuade them to call off the planned three-day nationwide transport strike beginning November 20. “To Piston, there’s still time. LTFRB is just one call away if you want to cancel the strike tomorrow and instead use the time to talk to Chairman Guadiz. Our office is open,” Celine Pialago said. But Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operators Nationwide’s (Piston) clarified that as of Sunday afternoon, there have been no talks between them and LTFRB.

I fully support trading in those aging vehicles for eco-friendly models, envisioning it as a scene straight out of a futuristic film like 'Blade Runner.' Picture the cityscape transforming with sleek, environmentally conscious vehicles gliding through the streets. The situation is like an ongoing fight for small drivers against the government, which is trying to make transportation better. It reminds us of historical events in the Philippines, like the “EDSA People Power Revolution,” where people united for a cause.
