DAGUPAN CITY—Transport protests opposing rising fuel prices and calling for government aid and fare adjustments disrupted operations in parts of Luzon and the Visayas on Monday, while some areas reported normal transport activity.
In Pangasinan, some drivers joined the strike despite no official transport holiday declaration from Auto Pro Pangasinan.
At least 50 percent of public utility vehicles (PUVs) did not ply their routes, with only about 20 percent of jeepneys operating along the Calasiao-Dagupan route, according to Auto Pro president Bernard Tuliao.
