GRACE POE ON TRANSPORT STRIKE CANCELLATION

We welcome the decision of Piston and No to Jeepney Phaseout Coalition to heed our appeal and call off their nationwide transport strike.

Issues can be better discussed and resolved when sobriety and judiciousness are exercised, in pursuit of the highest public good.

As I have committed, I will call a hearing to discuss with all stakeholders issues confronting the transport sector, including the planned jeepney modernization program with the view of addressing their concerns.

Isasaalang-alang natin ang kapakanan ng bawat isa--jeepney driver, operator, mananakay at karaniwang mamamayan tungo sa paghanap ng solusyon.

We shall be guided by reason, responsibility and public welfare.

Hindi na kailangang magdusa pa ang ating mga kababayang nakaasa sa pampublikong transportasyon.
