00:00The two-day strike of the transport group Pistón and Manibela is now in full swing.
00:05Isaiah Mirafuentes has the report. Isaiah?
00:10Audrey, you know, the transport strike of the group Pistón and Manibela is not in full swing today.
00:17When I was going around some cities in Metro Manila,
00:20we didn't notice any stranded people because there were no vehicles.
00:25Earlier, when I was in the Commonwealth in Quezon City,
00:29it is normal for passengers to ride public vehicles.
00:33There are a lot of passenger vehicles, even traditional or modern jeepneys.
00:38The situation in Caloocan is also the same.
00:41We went to a jeepney terminal in Malabon, Acacia Monumento.
00:47According to their officer, Leandro Dolflin, their group is not included in the transport strike
00:53because 99 percent of the drivers of their group are consolidated.
00:59According to them, they have no choice because modernization is ongoing.
01:03If they are not included, they will lose their franchise.
01:08They are also in the process of modernization, that's why they are not included in Tigil Pasada.
01:14If they are included, it will be harder for their families because it will reduce their income.
01:21According to Dolflin, the positive effect of modernization for them is that all vehicles will be registered and will be avoided from the ColoRoom.
01:30Here in Monumento Circle, before we went to Papawid,
01:34a protest was held by Manibela's group.
01:39Actually earlier, Audrey, we were on the other side of Monumento Circle, in front of Araneta Square.
01:45Our policemen were there because we were hoping that no one will protest.
01:52But just now, Manibela's group suddenly arrived in front of another mall on the other side of Monumento Circle.
02:02They are very few Audrey, maybe only 20 people are protesting until this time.
02:11Until tomorrow, Tigil Pasada will continue to be owned by Pistol and Manibela.
02:17Their intention is to suspend the modernization program or make it optional.
02:23Jeepney Drivers in Guadalupe, which is also a member of Pistol, are also not included in Tigil Pasada.
02:31Meanwhile Audrey, there are schools that suspended classes because of Tigil Pasada.
