00:00 Again, several transport groups are trying to stop the extended deadline for the consolidation of jeeps under the PUV Modernization Program.
00:11 And we have a reporter on the spot, Oscar Oida.
00:14 Oscar?
00:15 Yes, Connie, on the first day of the transport strike, Pistón was forced to mobilize from 8 am to various transport hubs here in Metro Manila.
00:29 Just like here in our Roroona, in Maypasig, where they agreed to the request of their fellow jeepney drivers to join their stop-and-go.
00:39 But there are still many who are traveling.
00:41 They said it's just a stop-and-go, but later on, it will also stop as a co-operation.
00:47 According to the Pistón group, they are trying to force a remote organization to modernize.
00:53 This will only result in the loss of the livelihood of thousands of jeepney drivers and operators.
00:59 And the deadline for the construction of the PUV Modernization Program was postponed to the very first day of the strike.
01:06 The jeepney drivers will not be able to pay the new units that will be filled with P2.8 million for six to seven years.
01:17 Aside from that, other big payers, such as membership in cooperatives, will also be forced to leave.
01:23 If the opportunity arises, the number of public vehicles will be reduced, or they will not be able to afford a higher fare.
01:31 The so-called franchise consolidation should be trashed and the five-year franchise should be restored.
01:40 The DOTR has also insisted that they will implement the PUV Modernization Program while the Supreme Court is awaiting the decision.
01:49 The jeepney drivers and operators have petitioned to stop the program.
01:54 This morning, when the strike began, the jeepney drivers who have a route to Baclaran Divisoria in Manila
02:04 were placed in a group of 50 jeepneys on the service road of Rojas Boulevard near the Church of Baclaran.
02:13 Because of this, there are no more vehicles of some passengers.
02:17 The people of the Southern Police District are also watching the area.
02:21 In the meantime, the members of Pistons who masked up in Maypasig, I understand,
02:30 will be allowed to stay until 6 p.m. and after that, they will be allowed to leave the area.
02:36 Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
