Manibela与Piston发起为期三天的罢工,政府部署免费乘车服务与燃油补贴

继本周早些时候发布公告后,运输团体Manibela和Piston于4月15日发起了一场为期三天的罢工,抗议政府有限的服务签约计划。该组织领导人批评其范围过于狭窄,而政府官员则准备了包括免费乘车、50亿比索预算以及针对受影响通勤者的燃油折扣在内的援助措施。

菲律宾马尼拉——基于周一的公告,运输团体Manibela和Piston开始了从4月15日至17日的罢工,抗议该服务签约计划在全国仅覆盖1000名运营商和5万辆公共交通工具(PUV)的有限范围。Manibela主席Mar Valbuena称该计划无效,并提到杜特尔特执政时期未支付的费用可能会导致资金浪费。Piston总裁Mody Floranda也表达了同样的担忧,敦促取消燃油税,并将该计划贴上了在物价上涨背景下“治标不治本”的标签。对此,在将军Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr.的指挥下,菲律宾国家警察组织了免费乘车服务,并部署了501名公路巡警。交通部长Giovanni Lopez指示陆路运输特许经营和监管委员会(LTFRB)识别受影响的路线,并寻求50亿比索的预算以服务1500万名乘客。能源部通过Landbank的应用程序,在马尼拉大都会的52个站点为17.1万辆公共交通工具推出了每升10比索的燃油折扣。正如Landbank总裁Lynette Ortiz和能源部负责人Sharon Garin所详述,此次行动获得了国立大学学生和PARA通勤者网络的支持。Valbuena表示,来自米沙鄢群岛和棉兰老岛的至少50万名运营商和司机参与了此次罢工。
