00:00 In the middle of expensive oil, there are two petitions now to raise the price of jeepney.

00:05 And some bus operators have the same feeling.

00:08 Witness, Joseph Moro.

00:10 The public transport continues to travel even without brakes and the price of oil.

00:19 This year, the price of oil is already 5 to 13 pesos per liter.

00:25 But in Bulacan, the oil price hike is already at 30%

00:30 according to the Polilan-Claridel-Malolos Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association.

00:35 Some are not even massaging anymore, while others are already driving dump trucks.

00:39 I hope that massages will be added to help us drivers and truck drivers.

00:46 If our diesel won't change, we'll just sell it for 15,000 pesos.

00:51 The minimum is 12 pesos for the traditional jeepney.

00:53 The price of some transport groups is added to 2 pesos.

00:56 The LTFRB will also petition for the PASANG MASDA 1-peso provisional increase.

01:03 If the PISO is provisional, if it will increase until December,

01:06 we will ask for another 1-peso increase.

01:10 If diesel is cheaper, the PASANG MASDA promise will be reversed to the old massage.

01:15 Diesel now runs on jeepneys that are 59 to 72 pesos in Metro Manila.

01:21 Gasoline and gas are 80 pesos or more the most expensive now.

01:25 We will just get it back. We just need to give and take situation.

01:29 Because two of the fair hike petitions were sent to the LTFRB,

01:32 the agency decided to do it alone.

01:35 We are confused about what the transport groups really want.

01:41 They say that the chance of giving is big, but they say that there is something that needs to be done.

01:46 We will consult with the consumers group, ANEDA.

01:50 Because if you issue a fair hike, it would probably cause inflation.

01:56 According to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB,

02:00 if the groups of jeeps can petition alone,

02:04 the earliest decision of the LTFRB on whether to increase the PASANG MASDA or not will be next week.

02:11 The petition for PISO to increase the PASANG MASDA every rush hour

02:14 was rejected by the transport groups, so the LTFRB also revoked it.

02:18 Even the buses in Metro Manila and Provisia are also requesting for additional PASANG MASDA,

02:22 even though they are still thinking of how much.

02:24 When will we start increasing the diesel?

02:28 We are used to it. Maybe next week, there will be a next one.

02:32 It is necessary. We are already having a hard time.

02:35 There is help for some jeeps.

02:37 This week, Target will give them a 2.9 billion pesos fuel subsidy.

02:42 But the budget department said that before issuing the funds,

02:45 the Transportation Department of the Government should first consider the implementation and the issues to be addressed.

02:50 The DOTRs have not yet reached a decision.

02:52 According to the LTFRB,

02:54 we have an existing mechanism that was built during the pandemic.

02:58 The transport services that will be issued are already enrolled.

03:02 But in the end, the commuters are always adjusting to the new prices and the massages.

03:07 When it increases, it will be harder. It will be harder.

03:11 What will you do? Will you save?

03:13 I will save. I will eat.

03:16 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.

03:21 Kapusos, let's be witnesses together.
