Want to help drivers and operators affected by nationwide transport strike?
Here is a running list of organizations leading donation drives and relief initiatives

MANILA, Philippines – Several public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers and operators across the country started a weeklong strike on Monday, March 6.

The strike was organized by transport organizations Manibela, PISTON, and Laban TNVS to oppose the implementation of the jeepney modernization program of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

The nationwide transport strike will impact the livelihood of the participating PUV drivers and operators. Due to this, they could go a week without access to food and other basic necessities. (READ: IN NUMBERS: Why jeepney phaseout is anti-poor, will do little for environment)
