More protest actions will be held after the deadline on the consolidation of public utility vehicles (PUVs) ended on Dec. 31, transport group Manibela vowed on Monday.

-  BELLA CARIASO

“Our advice to the local leaders of different (transport) associations was to celebrate the New Year with their family. We will hold another general assembly to discuss when we will implement previous plans (of protest actions),” Manibela president Mar Valbuena said in a radio interview.

Valbuena said members of Manibela and Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (Piston) trooped to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) main office in Quezon City on Sunday and held a noise barrage to coincide with the 5 p.m. deadline set by the LTFRB and Department of Transportation.

“Our protest actions did not end on Dec. 29. We should expect bigger mobilizations,” Valbuena said.
