Manibela宣布将于4月15日起举行三天交通罢工

运输组织Manibela宣布将于4月15日至17日举行全国性罢工,恰逢政府启动服务签约计划。此举旨在回应高昂的燃料价格,并要求将油价降至每升55比索。主席Mar Valbuena批评政府对油价冲击的应对措施不足。

在周一举行的新闻发布会上,Manibela主席Mar Valbuena表示,该组织将领导此次罢工,涉及吕宋岛、米沙鄢群岛和棉兰老岛至少50万名公共交通车辆经营者和司机。Valbuena指出,受中东冲突影响,石油公司在过去45天内通过上调燃油价格获利350亿比索,价格涨幅甚至翻了一番或两倍。他表示:“我们不相信政府对此无能为力”,并指出能源部未能采取行动。司机每天需花费2800比索购买柴油,而带回家的收入仅为100至200比索,目前已有45%的Manibela成员停止了运营。他批评服务签约计划仅覆盖5万辆车且协调不力,并质疑马科斯总统尽管拥有权力却拒绝暂停燃油税。Valbuena质问道:“你们已经被授予了权力,却仍然拒绝使用。你们是否是共犯?”他还要求能源部部长Sharon Garin辞职。马拉坎南宫回应称,此次罢工时机不当。总统通讯部副部长Claire Castro敦促各运输组织协助寻找解决油价上涨的方案,并补充说本届政府已将该行业列为优先事项。

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved a service contracting program for public utility vehicles, a P10-per-liter fuel subsidy starting April 15, and the release of P8 billion in assistance for over 42,000 barangays nationwide to cushion impacts from the Middle East crisis such as higher fuel prices, a weaker peso, and threats to livelihoods, Malacañang said Thursday. PUV drivers will receive additional income of P40 to P100 per kilometer, while commuters get at least 20% fare discounts on routes linked to trains and major bus lines.
