00:00 [Panibagong Oil Prize Hike]
00:02 [Darlin Kaay, reporting live from Divisoria, Manila]
00:10 Susan, we've talked to some drivers and drivers of Panibagong Oil Prize Hike.
00:21 But since they're used to it, they have their own discard to compete.
00:31 Diesel and kerosene prices rose by 70 cents per liter this morning.
00:35 And now, it's 30 cents per liter for gasoline.
00:39 This is a new challenge for drivers who depend on crude oil prices to earn their daily income.
00:46 It's hard to get by, ma'am.
00:48 Like this one, there's no fuel.
00:51 It came from a hole, but there's no fuel.
00:54 When it comes back, there's no fuel.
00:55 Others say that they're getting tired because they can't do anything if they don't work hard.
01:02 That's how it is. Just be patient.
01:05 If we just stay at home, nothing will happen to our lives.
01:09 Some are asking how they can live with the pollution.
01:15 This has a big effect, ma'am.
01:17 This has a big effect on our income.
01:19 We're just saving.
01:20 We can't do anything.
01:24 It seems like the test of their Jeepneys is just a matter of days.
01:28 The PUV Modernization Program is still hot.
01:32 He said that their operator didn't sign on to the consolidation.
01:36 So he's worried that he might still survive at the end of January.
01:41 In February, the LTFRB will catch passenger Jeeps that will travel even if they're not consolidated.
01:49 It's scary, ma'am. This is a life-or-death situation.
01:53 The income of the tricycle drivers is also affected.
01:56 Joshua said that he only earns P300 to P400 per day.
02:03 It's heavy for us. It's better if we just return it to the previous amount.
02:09 The passenger will just get tired if it's this bad.
02:14 Eric is a rider. He uses his motorcycle for work every day.
02:20 He also feels the effect of the increase in the price of gasoline.
02:24 I don't go to places. I just go to work.
02:30 I just follow the traffic. I just save on gas.
02:33 Susan, even though the drivers I talked to here in Divisoria are suffering,
02:44 they don't ask for the increase in the price of gasoline.
02:49 They know that passengers are also suffering.
02:52 So, I hope that if there's no rollback, the price of oil products will stop increasing.
02:58 That's the first news here in Manila.
03:00 I'm Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.
