NATIONWIDE TRANSPORT STRIKE IS BOUND TO START AS OIL PRICE HIKES

Despite reducing the alert level system in Metro Manila, the price of petroleum products has not decreased.

That is why the Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide group and some transport sectors will carry out large-wide protest action today to condemn the increase in petroleum prices and the continuous departure of the traditional jeepney.

According to Piston Leader Mody Floranda, the government should not implement an excise tax on petroleum products because it will be more difficult for drivers and operators.

Explain further that the continuous increase of crude price is not a solution to demand an increase in fare hike.

Because he said, covid-19’s continuing pandemic is just the same.

Florida still said what the government should do to implement petroleum price control.

Florida even disclosed that the drivers have lesser income now that they face continuous price hikes.

The old jeeps are scheduled for phase-out in April this year.
