MANIBELA sets Nov. 22-24 nationwide transport strike

Transport group MANIBELA on Tuesday announced that it will hold a three-day nationwide transport strike starting Wednesday, November 22, 2023, according to Allan Gatus’ report on Super Radyo dzBB.

Like PISTON which is currently on Day 2 of its transport strike, MANIBELA chairman Mar Valbuena said they are opposing the government’s PUV Modernization Program.

PISTON, or the Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operators Nationwide, is particularly opposed to the December 31 deadline given to jeepney operators for consolidation in connection with the modernization program. —KBK, GMA Integrated News
