Manibela's transport strike enters third day
Transport group Manibela began a nationwide transport strike on October 13, protesting alleged brutality by the DOTr-SAICT.
Manibela claims the DOTr-SAICT unfairly tickets and fines drivers, with fines being too steep for PUV drivers and operators.
The strike includes a protest rally and is happening in Quezon City, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite.
The group specifically criticized Assistant Secretary Tracker Lim, head of DOTr-SAICT, and his wife, Representative Claudine Bautista Lim, for failing to address drivers' issues.
Manibela is calling for the abolition of the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation (SAICT).
While recognizing the importance of roadworthiness, Manibela expressed concern that it is being used to oppress small drivers.
SAICT stated that they are just doing their job.
