Transport Strike here in the Philippines

Tweet

Today is Monday here in the Philippines at 5:32pm. I didn't watch any news right now. I'm just sitting in front of my desktop computer just to look for a virtual assistant job and created a YouTube content in one of my channels. I don't if you're aware that's there a week-long transport strike here in the Philippines. Why? Government is going to phaseout the traditional jeepney on June 2023 to give way to the transport modernization program. Although, there's some of the provinces already phaseout the traditional jeepney. I'm not against of the modernization program of the government in regards with transportation. However, I hope that government can take a look if this modernization must not have a negative impact to riding public. One example of it. The so-called modern e-jeep in our country specifically in my place only travels from 5am to 10pm everyday. The question is how about the riding public from 10pm to 5am including myself? I'm working most of the time as a customer service representative travelling for more than 20 kilometers from Wednesday to Sunday. Take note: I have no private car or motorcycle. My workshift normally starts at 3am. In this case, I need to be at the office site at 2am just to prepare my computer setup in order to be online at 3am. I need to travel from home at 11pm or 12mn for me to reach at office on or before 2am. The only available to travel from those time is only the jeepney and only few for buses. If the government will remove traditional jeepney on the road, how can I go to the office if I'm going to leave after 10pm? Makes sense? Bus, that's only few numbers during that time?
