00:00The protest movement of Manibela's group became tense as a result of the Jeepney Modernization Program.
00:08It even went back to the stoning of Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:19Because of the heat of the time, the situation in Hualca Motonda,
00:22in the middle of the protest movement of Manibela's group,
00:25for their call for the No to Jeepney phase-out.
00:30They did not listen to the police who were there.
00:35They also called on the President to stop their protest.
00:39This is the real majority.
00:41This is what you should hear.
00:45The police forbade the protesters to push,
00:48they should be beaten.
00:49Because it is not negotiable, that's where the protesters planned.
00:53We don't want to force it.
00:55We don't want to force it.
00:56We don't want to let it pass.
00:59Because just like our call,
01:01we were also called to not force it.
01:03Because we really can't let the PUBMP be implemented.
01:09The target of the group was to reach Mindiola,
01:12but here in Hualca Motonda,
01:13they were already blocked by the police,
01:15that's why they were just here in their protest.
01:18The problem is, they didn't just plan it,
01:20but they really blocked the road to Quezon Avenue,
01:25to go to Spain,
01:27that's why when they went to Manila,
01:29they experienced a lot.
01:34Around noon,
01:35a tow truck arrived that the police said
01:37was going to tow the blocked jeeps.
01:39But the tow truck was stopped and chased by the protesters.
01:52Some of them even threw stones.
01:56Because it's really rude.
01:58We are living here.
02:00You don't want to let us pass.
02:02And now, you're going to wreck us.
02:06The stones were thrown by the police,
02:08but when the ground commander came,
02:10there was no arrest.
02:12They were just pacified,
02:13because there was a little commotion there.
02:23The rally of the group
02:24caused a lot of traffic.
02:26Some of the motorists we talked to
02:28were late for school and work.
02:31They're on leave, boss.
02:33They're on leave from other people.
02:36We're already late,
02:38we're going to go to Lasonge.
02:39They're on leave, too.
02:41Anyway.
02:42Some of them understood
02:44what the drivers and operators said.
02:47They're also fighting for something.
02:49But the group insisted,
02:50they shouldn't be blamed
02:52for not passing the Spanish South Bound earlier.
02:55Before we walked,
02:57before we marched,
02:59Spain was already closed.
03:01Fight! Fight! Fight!
03:04The program lasted until 3 p.m.
03:07before the group dispersed.
