00:00 Some passengers had a hard time commuting to Caloocan.

00:04 That's because some groups have extended their stop.

00:07 Here's James Agustin's report.

00:10 On Monday, many passengers were riding jeeps in Monumento, Caloocan.

00:18 Some were even running to get there first.

00:21 Felix is from Malabon and is going to Valenzuela.

00:25 He had a hard time riding a jeep.

00:27 It's a bit difficult, but you just have to be patient.

00:34 It's important to be able to get to work.

00:38 You have to get to work early.

00:40 Yes, I always get there early.

00:43 Some passengers understand this.

00:45 So they decided to discard them so they won't be late for their destination.

00:49 We'll look for another vehicle.

00:52 Like what?

00:53 Buses, because jeeps are the only ones.

00:56 I just found out that it's easier to get there early.

01:00 Some members of Manibela, which has routes to Malabon and Navotas,

01:07 traveled early this morning so they can earn some money.

01:11 This is how their system will be in the next few days.

01:14 For jeepney drivers, it's important to stop so the government can hear their calls.

01:20 We will lose our livelihoods so we need to fight for our rights as drivers.

01:26 We don't want that. We live here.

01:28 Many people will lose their lives if I lose my job.

01:30 Some jeepney drivers can't afford to stop,

01:34 like the route to Monumento Trinoma.

01:37 They are now members of a cooperative that buys modern jeeps.

01:41 The three-decade rule of stopping is not a favor, but...

01:46 We have nothing to do because the government has a contract.

01:51 If we don't travel, how will our families afford to buy?

01:55 James Agustin is reporting for GME Integrated News.

01:59 The Tigal Fasada of Pistons and Manibelas continues as a lesson

02:05 in consolidating jeeps in the PUV Modernization Program.

02:09 And we have Jonathan Andal on the spot.

02:12 Jonathan?

02:17 Connie, as you can see behind me, there are many jeeps that are traveling.

02:21 They are here in Divisoria exactly a week before Christmas.

02:26 The routes that are traveling here are to Cubao, Moraytap, and Punta.

02:32 But the ones that are traveling to San Juan are rare.

02:35 Earlier, I saw two passengers who had a hard time traveling to San Juan.

02:42 Earlier, Connie protested in the Monumento in Caloocan

02:46 the members of the Pistons and Manibelas group.

02:49 They shouted "No to jeepney phase-out."

02:51 As of January 1, 2024, jeeps that did not join the consolidation

02:58 or cooperative corporations will no longer be able to travel.

03:00 Manibelas said they don't want to be consolidated

03:03 that their franchise will be destroyed and they will have bosses.

03:07 Even if there is no consolidation, they can modernize

03:11 the traditional jeeps that the government will accept

03:15 so that they won't have to spend a lot.

03:17 Earlier, Manibela's president, Mar Valbuena, was in protest.

03:21 But the Pistons' president, Modi Floranda, is not here.

03:24 According to Valbuena, 40,000 members of the Pistons and Manibelas

03:29 are in the transport strike in Metro Manila.

03:31 Earlier, the group shouted at the drivers who were still traveling

03:36 that they don't have any supporters.

03:39 Some drivers I talked to said that they are ready to end

03:43 the two-week strike even if they don't earn anything.

03:47 But some will only join until Friday.

03:49 On Christmas Day, Manibela and Pistons plan to hold a protest in Malacanang.

03:55 According to Manibela's president, President Bongbong Marcos

04:00 will stop this transport strike so that it won't reach December 29.

04:06 They want the president to extend the provisional authority

04:10 or their franchise until December 31

04:14 if they won't join the consolidation.

04:17 Connie?

04:18 Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
