Transport Strike!



It was a quarter before 9 when I drove my car out of our subdivision and it surprised me that there were a lot of passengers waiting for their ride near the Coca-Cola Plant. In Bangkal and Matina, I saw the same situation. I stopped by for gas and chatted with the attendant, he informed me that there's a transport strike going on. I thought it was because gas prices have not been reduced as what we've heard from the news. But I was wrong. The attendant said that the strike was about LTO's huge penalties on traffic violations.

As what I have heard from the office grapevine, the strike would only be for half a day. I really do hope that traffic will resume to normal this afternoon. Lots of people have not been able to go to their places of work on time this morning. My sister's examination at Ateneo was cancelled (believe me, the students only have praises for the transport strike).
