MANILA, Philippines — Transport group Manibela announced that it would stage a protest in response to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s decision to continue the government's transport program that, among others, phases out traditional jeepneys.
'Manibela strongly condemns President Marcos' disregard for the genuine concerns of the transport sector. The claim that 80 percent of PUVs nationwide have complied with consolidation requirements is starkly at odds with the daily realities faced by drivers and operators. Many are grappling with the fear of losing their livelihoods due to the exorbitant costs associated with modernization,' it added.
