Manibela President Mar Valbuena announced on Tuesday night March 7, to suspend the transport strike and go back to servicing commuters starting March 8, as Pres. Ferdinand “BongBong” Marcos Jr. agreed to keep the livelihood of our Public Utility Vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators.

Valbuena apologized to the riding public that they had to do a transport strike so that their voices and plights could be heard, he added that they will make sure that the “king of the road” will stay even with the development and change.

A student from E. Rodriguez Jr. High School quoted that “As a student and one of the affected people of the strike, it was a bit hard to commute during the strike since jeepney is the main vehicle I ride to get home, but I do understand the driver’s demand.”

The Department of Transportation (DOTR) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) were ordered to review their guidelines, the administration also thanked Manibela for putting an end to the transportation strike.

The Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG) is responsible for making sure that everything under the program is taken into consideration, including the complaints of the drivers and operators.
