Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla has ordered the resumption of face-to-face classes in both public and private schools at all levels in the province due to the sudden end of the jeepney strike. | dtmallarijrINQ /PDI
The strike was held to protest the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board memorandum setting a June 30 deadline for traditional jeepney operators and drivers to join cooperatives or risk losing their franchises.
The LTFRB has extended the validity of the provisional authorities , or franchises, of traditional jeepneys from June 30 to Dec. 31. But the protesting jeepney drivers suddenly lifted their strike Wednesday following a meeting in Malacañang on Tuesday night, March 7. Mar Valbuena, chair of Manibela, a coalition of public utility vehicle drivers and operators’ groups, said the decision to end the transport protest aims to start the discourse and help both sides in developing an effective solution and a public transportation modernization program.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
