00:00 Their smartphones are held by taxi drivers in this part of Quezon City.
00:07 They are helping to apply to be a partner driver of a transport network vehicle system or TNVS.
00:14 According to Renato Tejano, this will add more profit to them if they can be booked through mobile application.
00:22 There are so many taxis that are still in traffic, gasoline is expensive. Sometimes, we can earn 300 to 400 pesos.
00:30 - 300 pesos? - Yes.
00:32 I also applied for a joy ride because I also have a Grab.
00:36 I want to be able to book a ride.
00:40 The price of diesel is high.
00:43 Taxi drivers are discarding their own money to be able to earn decent income.
00:48 According to the President of the Philippine National Taxi Operators Association, Bong Suntay,
00:53 they have submitted a petition to the LTFRB that added 30 pesos to their flag down rate.
00:59 We have a pending petition that they haven't resolved yet.
01:04 Last year, the taxis were given 5 pesos extra to their flag down rate.
01:09 But many operators did not fulfill this.
01:13 According to Suntay, 5 pesos extra to the taxi ride is not enough.
01:18 First of all, the issues were different.
01:22 If they want the board to act on their petition, they have to refile a new petition
01:31 or at least inform us of their desire to hear or take note of the petition and hear their petition.
01:40 And the board is always open to any petition.
01:43 Why do they want to do that?
01:45 To show that there was an inaction of almost a year that they haven't resolved.
01:55 So they will say that when we filed a new petition,
01:59 "Oh, they just filed this one, so we will resolve it quickly."
02:03 The Uvexpress drivers are also demanding an additional fare because of the travel expenses.
02:09 The diesel prices are high now.
02:11 We don't earn anything.
02:13 We can only afford to travel by diesel.
02:16 I hope that they will end the travel expenses.
02:19 According to Manibela,
02:21 they need to pay 10 pesos extra for the minimum fare to the Uvexpress
02:26 to pay back the unpaid fees for the price of oil products.
02:31 They will support if a group will submit a petition to the LTFRB.
02:37 But what group?
02:39 The government should move to stop the increase of the fare
02:43 by temporarily removing the oil from the country.
02:47 That's a big reduction.
02:49 Why do they not want to take action in favor of the government?
02:55 But they don't want to pay attention to the people in favor of the government.
03:00 Since January this year, the diesel price has increased to 13.80 pesos per liter
03:07 and 15.30 pesos per liter for gasoline.
