00:09Bea?
00:14Ivan, because of the increasing price of petroleum products,
00:19their taxi drivers are asking for a raise in their flag down rate.
00:25It's just the beginning of the day, but for Juraldin,
00:32it's time to go home after the taxi driver's hard work since yesterday.
00:37No matter how hard he works, he still earns less and less every day because of the expensive gasoline.
00:45The current flag down rate of 40 pesos is not enough,
00:49that's why his taxi driver is asking for a 20 pesos increase in the flag down rate.
00:55The flag down rate should be increased.
00:58Like me, I travel 24 hours a day.
01:01If I go home, it's 500 pesos, 600 pesos.
01:06Our family's income is not enough.
01:09One liter of gasoline is from 60 pesos up.
01:14Taxi drivers are not enough.
01:16Sometimes, it's hard to go home.
01:20We have a lot of enemies.
01:22They are killing our taxi drivers.
01:24They are serving the good people.
01:27The Philippine National Taxi Operators Association has been protesting for two years
01:33for a 20 pesos increase in the flag down rate.
01:36Renato is also reminding that the passengers might be affected by the 60 pesos flag down rate.
01:43It's too high, ma'am.
01:45You know that we are for the masses.
01:48The passengers are pitiful.
01:50It's just right.
01:51Maybe 10 pesos is enough.
01:58Ivan, for now, since the LTFRB has not yet made a decision on their petition,
02:03they will just wait.
02:05And that's the first news from Valenzuela City.
