00:00 Transport Group Manibela will hold its own transport strike from Wednesday, November
00:05 22 until Friday, November 24.
00:08 This as the Pinagka-Isang Samahan ng Mga Tsuper at Operators Nationwide or PISTON continues
00:14 with its own three-day strike, which started on Monday, November 20.
00:18 Both groups protest the government's year-end consolidation deadline for jeepneys that forces
00:23 operators to join transport cooperatives instead of continuing with the current single ownership
00:28 and boundary system.
00:29 Manibela President Marval Buena says members from across the Philippines are expected to
00:34 join the strike.
00:35 PISTON announced it would also continue its own three-day transport strike as they were
00:40 not satisfied with LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guades saying the regulatory agency would
00:45 study their demands.
00:46 LTFRB spokesperson Celine Pialago says the impact of the transport strike has so far
00:52 been minimal.
