Transport strike endsDrivers, operators, and supporters from the transport group PISTON, together with members of other sectoral organizations, gather at Welcome Rotonda in Quezon City on March 20, 2026. Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro made the appeal as various transport groups, including Manibela, Piston and Laban TNVS, were organizing nationwide transport strikes. On Tuesday, Marcos led the rollout of the P5,000 fuel subsidy for public transport drivers. Marcos, however, assured transport operators and drivers of additional support from the government. If oil prices continue to spike, he warned that the transport system will be disrupted, especially in provincial areas.
