00:00The drivers and conductors of their transport strike against the PU Remodernization Program of the government are already there.
00:09And we have live news, Bam Alegre.
00:13Bam.
00:17Good morning. As you can see behind us, the program of the drivers who are protesting here in Baclaran is currently underway.
00:27It includes the force of Manibela and Pistons. They are leading the transport strike today until tomorrow.
00:35This is still in line with the PUV Modernization Program or what is called the Public Transport Modernization Program or PTMP.
00:42It is said that the drivers who do not have a franchise or those who are not consolidated in the transport cooperative will have a hard time.
00:4970,000 Pistons, according to them, are now protesting in Tigil Pasada nationwide.
00:55According to Manibela, their members are protesting 100,000 nationwide.
01:00Here in Metro Manila, they estimate that 20,000 will not pass today.
01:04The LTFRB is ready. They have free rides for the stranded.
01:09At this time, we have not seen the build-up of passengers because jeepneys are still passing.
01:15According to PNP, almost 1,000 vehicles are on standby,
01:19aside from the vehicles of the LGU, to respond if there is a shortage of vehicles.
01:2470,000 police are also on high alert to secure the transport hubs and passenger pickups and drop-offs to avoid any chaos.
01:32In the panorama of EDSA at Ross Boulevard, we noticed that we have people talking there, passengers and drivers.
01:39Let's listen to what they have to say.
01:42That's why it's hard to ride. That's why maybe it's a strike.
01:47You need to earn, because the passengers have been waiting for a long time.
01:51Our call is to return our five-year franchise and reopen the franchise consolidation
01:57so that we can re-register our vehicles and continue to serve our men and women.
02:05This is what we are fighting for.
02:07Now, we are happy, especially when we are traveling.
02:10We recently talked to Cirilo Naturina of the Piston group.
02:13At this time, the program continues and there are also people on standby who are in favor of MMDA.
02:19According to President BBM, consolidation continues and according to their estimates, the compliance rate is 80%.
02:28This is the first news from Buklaran.
02:30Good day for GMA Integrated News.
