00:00Many commuters have a hard time riding in some places on the first day of the Manibela and Pistons transport strike.

00:08And from Manila, we are joined live by Joseph Moro.

00:12Joseph.

00:16Vicky, some of our countrymen are worried because of the two-day suspension of the Pistons and Manibela group.

00:25It is still against the public transportation modernization program.

00:28But according to the Department of Transportation, even if there are many rallies, the program will not be suspended.

00:37On Rodriguez Avenue in Quezon City.

00:40There's no jeep.

00:41There's no jeep.

00:42JR Pamuraita's jeep was waiting in Manila for more than two hours before it was able to ride.

00:48His mother and her child were only able to ride a tricycle.

00:51On the first day of the two-day transport strike of the Pistons and Manibela against the Public Transport Modernization Program or PUTMP.

00:59But according to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB, nothing was suspended because of the transport strike.

01:07These are the regular traffic on a Monday.

01:10There are many passengers.

01:13There are only a few jeepneys on the road because of the traffic.

01:17The transport strike was very successful.

01:20If the government does not intervene, the class will be suspended.

01:27There will be a few entrances to the government.

01:29Partida, there is a free ride.

01:33The Pistons' jeepneys were damaged.

01:36The five-year franchise is about to return.

01:38Congress is the only leader who can get it back.

01:41You will really lose your franchise.

01:43You will have a hard time registering.

01:46It is also for their livelihood, so that we can get our five-year franchise back.

01:52But the program was suspended according to the Department of Transportation or DOTR.

01:57The call of Pistons and Manibela to scrap the program is non-negotiable.

02:04These two groups cannot be allowed to derail the program.

02:08In addition, 83 percent of public vehicles have been consolidated.

02:14But the distribution of routes is still being arranged by the local government.

02:18For the next two years or so, we will arrange the routes.

02:23Before, there were a lot and now we know that there are too many.

02:26We will arrange the routes so that there will be more needs.

02:32According to the Department of Transportation,

02:34it will take two to three years before the agency requires the replacement of traditional jeepney units

02:41to make them modern units.

02:43The LTO also added that those who will not join the program

02:46can register their traditional jeepneys as private vehicles.

02:52This afternoon, the motion to resolve the Pistons in the Supreme Court was held

02:56to act on their request to issue a TRO against the modernization program.

03:02At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the government officials and some students

03:06went out to their schools.

03:08Malacanang issued a memorandum asking those in the government to go home

03:12at 3 o'clock as part of the Family Week.

03:15That's why here in Manila City Hall, it will be difficult to ride

03:18because there are a lot of jeepneys.

03:21It's very difficult to ride because there are only a few jeepneys.

03:24Usually, the rush hour is from 5 to 6.

03:29We don't have a lot of money because the jeepneys are full.

03:37At this time, the number of people coming to Padre Burgos in Manila is decreasing

03:43and the arrival of public vehicles such as jeepneys is still ongoing.

03:48According to the MMDA, before 5 o'clock in the afternoon,

03:50they no longer need to deploy free jeepneys.

03:55Joseph, is it true that the government is saying that public vehicles are enough?

04:01What if there are no more free jeepneys or all the commuters are allowed to enter?

04:09The government is saying that 83% of the consolidated public utility vehicles are enough.

04:16So even if the groups that really don't want to join the program don't join,

04:20that 83% will be enough to serve the public.

04:25They are confident that that number will be enough to serve the public

04:29and that there will be no shortage of public transportation vehicles.

04:32Joseph, will there be an announcement tomorrow that there will be no more free jeepneys?

04:39We haven't monitored yet.

04:42In UP, they can have a work-from-home set-up because of the transport strike.

04:50But in other LGUs, we haven't monitored yet.

04:53But we expect that the movement or what will happen tomorrow will be like this.

04:58From 6 to 9, the group will have a protest.

05:01After that, we will be back to normal.

05:05For example, if there is a traffic or a stranded vehicle,

05:08the DOTR inter-agency task force is still there to provide free vehicles

05:13if ever there are stranded vehicles.

05:16Alright. Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
