Commuters in Iloilo City should brace themselves for a one-week transport strike on Monday.
The Federation of Ioilo Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association confirmed early Thursday that it will hold a one-week strike in the city starting June 16.
Proceso Pareno, president of the federation, said that they are losing patience on the government's disregard of the issues drivers and operators are facing.
Pareno asked the government to address the surging price of petroleum products and to look into the unfair implementation of traffic laws in their locality, particularly Ordinance No. 78 Series of 1977, which penalizes drivers who break traffic regulations.
