00:00Thousands of jeepney drivers and operators are on Tigil Pasada today

00:06making it difficult for some passengers to ride in Metro Manila.

00:11This was accompanied by a protest by the Pistons

00:14who threw black oil in front of the LCFRB.

00:19Darlene Cai has more.

00:23Passengers in Caruncio Avenue in Pasig City had a hard time riding this morning.

00:28Passengers are lining up to wait for their turn.

00:32Today is the first day of a protest by the Manibela Transport Group

00:36against the POV Modernization Program.

00:38Some passengers in Munoz in Quezon City were also affected

00:42as employees were forced to go to work.

00:45This is just now?

00:46Yes, it's already late.

00:47Just update us later.

00:49The Philippine National Police and Quezon City LGU gave free rides.

00:53It will also make it difficult for passengers to ride in Dr. A. Santos Avenue in Paranaque City.

00:59In Manila, only tricycles are allowed for non-vehicle passengers.

01:04To our dear passengers, we are asking for mercy.

01:09We have nothing else to do but to tell the government

01:13that if our traditional jeepneys are not available, they will have a hard time.

01:20According to Manibela, 80,000 jeepney drivers and operators from all over the Philippines

01:24joined Tigil Pasada earlier.

01:2630,000 of them are in Metro Manila.

01:30Meanwhile, members of the Transport Group in Pistons

01:33threw black oil in front of the LTFRB office earlier this afternoon.

01:37This is part of their protest against the continuation of the POV Modernization Program.

01:42The administration should ask for mercy to the sector of our transport.

01:50The President should look at two sides, not just one.

01:57That is why, from Wednesday to Friday,

01:59Tigil Pasada will hold its Pistons and Manibelas in Metro Manila

02:03and other provinces like Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog and Bicol.

02:08According to Metro Manila,

02:1035,000 jeepney drivers and operators are expected to join the Pistons and Manibelas.

02:15That is what we are asking for.

02:17We just want the government to study the program.

02:20The problems of those who joined us earlier are fine.

02:24We will be the ones to blame.

02:26We don't need to be blamed anymore.

02:29The group of Pistons went to the Supreme Court

02:32because they believe that the Senate Resolution 1096

02:37is their first petition.

02:39But the DOTR does not stop there.

02:42It will chase away the non-franchisees.

02:45We will start to track down the non-franchisees,

02:52the ones who are expiring.

02:54Most of them are old vehicles.

02:57President Bombong Marcos said that the implementation of the POV Modernization Program is a first.

03:03Despite the recommendation of the Senate to suspend it,

03:06For GMA Integrated News, I'm Darlene Cai.

03:08Stay tuned for 24 Hours.
