MANILA: Transport group Manibela began its three-day transport strike on Tuesday (Dec 9) to protest the government’s “vague promises” in response to the alleged abuses jeepney drivers continue to face.

Manibela also objected to the “payola,” or bribery system, within the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
