00:00 Even though the two-day nationwide transport strike in Lunes and Martes has been consolidated, several Jeepney drivers are already being arrested.

00:07 Live from Manila, first news is Jomer Apresto. Jomer, why are they being arrested?

00:13 Ivan, I'm here in the part of Juan Luna Divisoria.

00:20 Many Jeepney drivers are thinking if they will join the Tigil Pasada on the upcoming Monday.

00:27 It's already a long time ago. On the upcoming Monday, April 15, the group Piston and Manibela will hold the Tigil Pasada.

00:36 This is a protest in the near deadline of the franchise consolidation on April 30, 2024.

00:43 But many Jeepney drivers are still thinking if they will join the transport strike.

00:49 I'm still thinking.

00:51 The jeepney driver, Amador, said that the trip will continue on Monday.

00:55 For us, the drivers, for example, our operators, the owners of the vehicle, will stop the Tigil Pasada.

01:02 We will stop. But if there's nothing to say to us, we will not stop.

01:07 Francisco will join the strike even though his Jeep has been consolidated.

01:11 Yes, we will join this. The driver will not say that we will not join. You need to know how to join such things.

01:21 Richard will also join the strike if necessary because his job is important to him.

01:26 This is where we live, in the jeepney. If the jeepney will be gone, our families will be poor.

01:33 We will be hungry. This is where we rely on. We get food for our families for our education.

01:39 Piston and Manibela said that up to 100,000 people will be able to join the two-day Tigil Pasada.

01:45 Around 30,000 of them are choppers in Metro Manila. According to the LTFRB, 77 percent of the people have been consolidated in the country

01:54 and more than 52 percent are in Metro Manila.

01:58 The LTFRB is ready to provide free ride during the time when passengers cannot travel because of the Tigil Pasada of the two groups.

02:05 Piston and Manibela also insisted that even after the deadline,

02:09 they will still travel on the first day of May and only the Congress can recover their franchise.

02:16 Meanwhile, Ivan, even though the opinions of the jeepney choppers we talked to are still divided,

02:26 the Tigil Pasada will still continue on Monday.

02:29 That is the latest from Manila. I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
