MANILA --- Jeepney drivers will stage a nationwide transport strike on Thursday, March 19, as fuel prices, which have already hit an all-time high of P100 per liter, are only expected to keep rising in the coming weeks.

Transport group PISTON, or the Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operator Nationwide, announced on Monday, March 16, plans for a one-day suspension of operations later this week to protest the government's "slow" response to rising fuel prices and the impact on drivers and commuters.
