Manibela calls for a nationwide transport strike on September 14 over rising fuel costs
The transport coalition Manibela announced a countrywide strike for Monday, September 14, in response to an expected increase in diesel and gasoline prices.
Manibela posted on social media that its members will halt operations across the Philippines on September 14. The action is meant to protest a projected rise in fuel costs, with diesel possibly climbing by P2 to P2.50 per litre and gasoline by about P4.50. The group warned that another price hike is slated for the following week, prompting the pre-emptive walkout.
