We welcome the recommendations of some lawmakers to suspend the PUVMP or to extend the deadlines.

However, before we begin talking again about deadlines, let's talk first about resources, about crafting a pro-people, worker-led just transition in public transport!

Then how does the DOTr expect operators, coops & corpos to recover the hefty costs from complying w their ludicrous program?

Govt subsidy so they can maintain a profit?

This is OUR public transport. Not a business model for Marcos cronies, TNCs, and global banks to play with.

Sonny Africa of IBON Foundation explains it succinctly:

The corporatization of public transport is harmful to both transport workers & commuters. The corporate takeover of public transport thru franchise consolidation replaces public service with profit motive to jack up fares.

This is sheer unpreparedness - hilaw at hindi pinag-aralan. Hindi pa sapat ang plano (LPTRP and LTP) in LGUs but LTFRB forced the drivers-operators to consolidate franchise against their will, a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of association #NoToJeepneyPhaseout

Magiting na itutuloy ng ating mga kapatid na tsuper at opereytor ang laban kontra PUV Phaseout!

Patuloy silang papasada! Pasada para sa kanilang kabuhayan! Pasada para sa serbisyo sa mga manggagawang komyuter at publiko!

Buong lakas natin silang suportahan!

#NoToPUVPhaseout

TULOY ANG LABAN!

Angkinin natin ang mga kalsada! Singilin ang palpak, pahirap, at tuta na rehimeng Marcos Jr! Tuloy-tuloy lang tayong pumasada para sa kabuhayan, sa kinabukasan ng ating mga pamilya, at sa kapakanan ng Pilipinong komyuter! ⤵️

We march on to the new year with greater resolve to continue gaining strength in our struggle for economic and democratic freedoms and social progress!

WE FIGHT ON AND WE WILL WIN!

A prosperous, militant new year to every transport worker, commuter, and all oppressed people!

During massive strikes and protests against reform plans that would remove the iconic Jeepney ride from the streets, thousands of public transport workers paralyzed the central Philippine capital, Manila.

Jeepneys are a crucial pillar of the Philippines' public transportation…

BALITA | Bunsod ng napipintong jeepney phaseout, nagtipon ang mga tsuper at komyuter sa kahabaan ng Mendiola upang ipanawagan ang pagbasura sa PUV Modernization Program.

Ganap nang natapos ang deadline ng sapilitang Franchise Consolidation.

Ngunit hindi pa rin natatapos ang laban. Masdan ang makasaysayang martsa ng mga tsuper at opereytor na nagpadagundong sa lansangan ng kamaynilaan📢⚡️

#NoToJeepneyPhaseout #KalampaganKontraPhaseout

WATCH: Filipino citizens against PUV phaseout hold a noise barrage and shake the gates of LTFRB at 5pm today. The deadline set by the PH govt effectively killed the livelihoods of thousands of jeepney drivers of operators. #NoToPUVPhaseout #TransportWorkersFightBack

📢 1 ORAS NA LAMANG BAGO ANG PUV PHASEOUT 📢

Pero nasa lansangan muli ang mga tsuper at opereytor upang labanan ang naka-ambang masaker sa kanilang kabuhayan sa harap ng LTFRB.

Nasaan ang pangulo? #MarcosPahirap
