00:00Thousands of jeepney drivers and operators are on Tigil Pasada today
00:06making it difficult for some passengers to ride in Metro Manila.
00:11This was accompanied by a protest by the Pistons
00:14who threw black oil in front of the LCFRB.
00:19Darlene Cai has more.
00:23Passengers in Caruncio Avenue in Pasig City had a hard time riding this morning.
00:28Passengers are lining up to wait for their turn.
00:32Today is the first day of a protest by the Manibela Transport Group
00:36against the POV Modernization Program.
00:38Some passengers in Munoz in Quezon City were also affected
00:42as employees were forced to go to work.
00:45This is just now?
00:46Yes, it's already late.
00:47Just update us later.
00:49The Philippine National Police and Quezon City LGU gave free rides.
00:53It will also make it difficult for passengers to ride in Dr. A. Santos Avenue in Paranaque City.
00:59In Manila, only tricycles are allowed for non-vehicle passengers.
01:04To our dear passengers, we are asking for mercy.
01:09We have nothing else to do but to tell the government
01:13that if our traditional jeepneys are not available, they will have a hard time.
01:20According to Manibela, 80,000 jeepney drivers and operators from all over the Philippines
01:24joined Tigil Pasada earlier.
01:2630,000 of them are in Metro Manila.
01:30Meanwhile, members of the Transport Group in Pistons
01:33threw black oil in front of the LTFRB office earlier this afternoon.
01:37This is part of their protest against the continuation of the POV Modernization Program.
01:42The administration should ask for mercy to the sector of our transport.
01:50The President should look at two sides, not just one.
01:57That is why, from Wednesday to Friday,
01:59Tigil Pasada will hold its Pistons and Manibelas in Metro Manila
02:03and other provinces like Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog and Bicol.
02:08According to Metro Manila,
02:1035,000 jeepney drivers and operators are expected to join the Pistons and Manibelas.
02:15That is what we are asking for.
02:17We just want the government to study the program.
02:20The problems of those who joined us earlier are fine.
02:24We will be the ones to blame.
02:26We don't need to be blamed anymore.
02:29The group of Pistons went to the Supreme Court
02:32because they believe that the Senate Resolution 1096
02:37is their first petition.
02:39But the DOTR does not stop there.
02:42It will chase away the non-franchisees.
02:45We will start to track down the non-franchisees,
02:52the ones who are expiring.
02:54Most of them are old vehicles.
02:57President Bombong Marcos said that the implementation of the POV Modernization Program is a first.
03:03Despite the recommendation of the Senate to suspend it,
03:06For GMA Integrated News, I'm Darlene Cai.
03:08Stay tuned for 24 Hours.
