Transport strike fizzles in Metro Manila But protests vs oil spikes cripple Angeles, Davao
April 1, 2011
Angeles paralyzed
It was a different story in Angeles City.
Thousands of commuters on their way to work, school or the market were stranded at 7 a.m. on Thursday when about 20,000 public utility drivers stopped plying their routes.
“We have paralyzed (public transportation) 100 percent,” Piston spokesperson Rey Gueco told the Inquirer.
Drivers protesting the 10 oil price increases since January belong to 14 jeepney organizations and 208 tricycle groups operating within the city, Gueco said.
LTFRB official Manuel Iway gave a different assessment of the strike in Angeles City.
Iway said just a fourth of the routes in the city were paralyzed, blaming it on spikes said to be made of bent nails and cut-up steel sheets.
“A lot of jeepneys have suffered flat tires because of this. They are afraid to ply their routes,” Iway said.
He said 40 percent of routes in Cagayan de Oro City in Mindanao were paralyzed due to the spikes.
Iway said appropriate action would be taken against any jeepney operator found to have scattered the spikes.
Chief Supt. Allan Purisima, Central Luzon police director, said no transport strikes were mounted in the rest of Pampanga, and the provinces of Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Zambales.
