The reason of cancellation of classes and work tomorrow is due to nationwide transport strike.
Sources stated that the jeepney operators had protested against the modernization program of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) in which public utility vehicles (PUVs) that are more than 15 years old will be banned from the road, and will be replaced by vehicles with “low-carbon and low-emission technology.”
“Drivers and operators could not shoulder the P1.6-million loan for new jeepney units and daily amortization of P800,” said Stop and Go Transport Coalition President Jun Magno.
