Peaceful protest and vigil by transport workers and commuters are being threatened by the PNP with harsh dispersal and mass arrests.
To strike against unfair policies is justified. To strike for thousands of livelihoods on the brink of displacement is justified!
Thousands of transport workers, commuters surge into Mendiola today, two days before the deadline for PUV modernization program's franchise consolidation.
LTFRB, DOTr, and Marcos Jr is set to create a nationwide transport disaster come 2024.

Matagal na kaming handa sa balik-pasada, pero si Duterte at kanyang mga ulupong, maka-dayuhan at maka-kapitalistang jeepney phaseout ang gustong itulak.
Traditional jeepneys in Nichols, Pasay have prepared their units for the supposed resumption of trips today. But they were disappointed after being told that the LTFRB has yet to look at the routes before they could ply the roads again.
If Marcos Jr wants to save
140,000 drivers
60,000 small operators
28.5 million commuters
from a possible transport disaster by January 2024, all he has to do is junk the December 31 franchise consolidation deadline.
We have no choice but to fight back! βπ½

Nearly 2,000 jeepney drivers, operators, and commuters gather at Monumento Circle to continue fighting against the corporate-driven franchise consolidation Dec 31 deadline which may result in the phaseout of almost 70,000 PUVs & nearly 200,000 job losses by the start of 2024.

WE FIGHT ON AND WE WILL WIN!
A prosperous, militant new year to every transport worker, commuter, and all oppressed people!
The Marcos Jr regime boldly unveiled its true face amidst the transport workers' two-day strike to demand the regime to remove the end-of-year deadline that will displace around 140,000 drivers, 60,000 operators, and 28.5 million commuters by January 2024.
This is tantamount to around 140,000 drivers and 60,000 small operators losing work by Jan 1, 2024.
In spite of this, Marcos Jr denies removing the Dec 31 deadline.
Marcos Jr doesn't care about workers. Marcos Jr doesn't care about their family's future. Let that sink in.
These vehicles refer to PUVs which operate without a provisional authority, special permit, or certificate of public convenience issued by the LTFRB. Without any such authorization, their operation on the roads is illegal.

LTFRB extends the deadline for traditional PUJ franchise consolidation to Dec 31, 2023 after our dialogue with LTFRB Chair Guadiz earlier today
Small win but not enough.
The fight against PUV phaseout & for a pro-people modernization program will not be taken lying down.
Not an extension, but a stop gap solution to coerce operators to apply for franchise consolidation.
The LTFRB and DOTr keep twisting their numbers to serve huge corporations' purpose of monopolizing public transport.
Tomorrow, December 29, we surge to Mendiola to fight back! πͺ§
Traditional jeepneys which failed to consolidate their franchises can still operate until Jan. 31, 2024.
The LTFRB board will determine their routes.
