00:00The two-day suspension of the Pistons and Manibelas groups has already begun.
00:05But the strike was not felt because of the large number of passengers and the free ride.
00:13Isaiah Mirafuerte, for Central News.
00:18The transport strike of the Pistons and Manibelas group was not felt today.
00:24In our tour of several cities in Metro Manila, we did not notice any stranded commuters.
00:31In Commonwealth, Quezon City, the jeepney drivers just snubbed the transport strike.
00:37The ride of the passengers in the area was fine.
00:41There are many vehicles traveling, whether traditional or modern jeepney.
00:46This is also the situation in a jeepney terminal in Caloocan, Malabon, Acacia, Monumento.
00:53According to their officer, Leandro Duplin, they did not join the transport strike
00:59because 99% of the drivers of their group are already consolidated.
01:04Most of them declared that they do not want to lose their income.
01:09We have no choice.
01:11This is what we were given.
01:14We were made into a group.
01:18Even though the cooperatives are different, we were made into a group.
01:23The LTFRB is now ready to move forward.
01:27The agency hopes that the passengers will have continuous access to public transportation.
01:34Because of this, they deployed free rides in various places.
01:40Aside from them, a free ride was also deployed by the Philippine National Police.
