00:14 The Pistons and Manibelas transport groups have stopped again starting today.
00:20 It has been 12 days and the holiday rush is still ongoing.
00:22 Live from Caloocan, we have the first news of James Agustin.
00:28 James.
00:30 Good morning.
00:34 In the routes of jeeps that pass through the area of monuments,
00:37 there are jeepney drivers, especially those who have a long journey and are exhausted,
00:41 who will really join the Tigil Pasada today.
00:44 What they will discard is that they will travel around in the early morning
00:49 so that they can somehow go home and see their families.
00:54 It is hard for the passengers to travel. It was a sunny day earlier.
00:58 On Monday, there were many early passengers who were riding jeeps in the Monument in Caloocan.
01:07 Some were even running to get a ride.
01:11 Felix came from Malabon and will be going to Valenzuela.
01:14 He said it was hard for him to ride a jeep.
01:17 It is a bit hard, but it is not that hard.
01:21 You just need to be patient.
01:24 It is important that you can get to work.
01:28 You will get to work early?
01:29 Yes, I always travel early.
01:33 The Tigil Pasada of the Pistol Group is extended.
01:36 The Manibela Group will also start on their own from today.
01:39 The transport strike will last for 12 days until December 29
01:43 as part of the December 31 consolidation deadline for the PUV modernization program.
01:49 Some passengers understand this.
01:52 So they will just discard them so that they will not be late for their destination.
01:55 We will look for other vehicles.
01:58 Like what?
01:59 Buses. Because there are only jeeps.
02:02 I just found out that it is that early to get in.
02:05 Of course.
02:06 So that you will not be late.
02:08 Yes.
02:09 Some members of the Manibela Group who have routes to Malabon and Navotas
02:13 traveled early in the morning so that they can somehow earn money.
02:17 This is how their system will be in the next few days.
02:20 We will just go around once.
02:21 If there is a barrier, we will go with them to Tigil Pasada.
02:25 It is difficult if there is no barrier.
02:28 There should be a daily sustenance for the family.
02:31 For the jeepney drivers,
02:33 it is important to stop at Pasada so that the government can hear their call.
02:37 Our children will be lost.
02:39 That is why we need to fight for our rights as drivers.
02:43 We don't want that.
02:44 Of course, we will live here.
02:45 Many will lose their lives if I am not here.
02:47 Some jeepney drivers cannot afford to stop at Pasada.
02:51 Like the route of Monumento Trinoma.
02:54 They are already members of the cooperative that will buy modern jeeps.
02:58 The three-decade rule of Pasada is not really a favor.
03:02 But...
03:03 We have nothing to do.
03:04 Because our government has a contract.
03:08 If we don't travel, how can our family afford to buy a jeepney?
03:13 [Pasada, Monumento Trinoma]
03:16 This morning, we have not seen any stranded passengers.
03:22 There are also jeeps that are traveling on different routes.
03:26 There are people on standby here.
03:28 People from MMDA, PNP, and LGU.
03:32 If ever, some passengers need help.
03:37 It is possible that some passengers will be stranded if the Pasada stops at Grupong Piston and Manibela.
03:43 Reporting from Caloocan, I am James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
