00:00As usual, the increase in the price of oil is again helping the high passenger traffic.

00:05What will the drivers and commuters say?

00:08Live from Manila, we have a street hearing from Bam Alegre.

00:11Bam?

00:15Ian, good morning.

00:16The minimum fare for a jeepney is 15 pesos.

00:19Is this a benefit or a loss?

00:22That depends on who you ask on the street.

00:24Here's the street hearing.

00:26It's an early morning, but the journey of Ildebrando Cavajar is just about to end.

00:30He's been passing through Divisoria Baclaran since yesterday afternoon.

00:34He has almost no income because of the high price of diesel.

00:37The price of diesel should be lower.

00:40It's too high.

00:42Like now, it's 56 pesos per litre.

00:46What we earn is just a little.

00:49Instead of 1,000 pesos, it's only 700 pesos.

00:52That's why he agrees.

00:54Many other drivers have also increased the minimum fare to 15 pesos.

00:58It's good. You can earn more.

01:00It's too expensive.

01:02How much will we earn?

01:05It's better to do that so that we can make up for it.

01:11There are three petitions for an increase in the fare from jeepney operators.

01:16Their fare ranges from 1 to 3 pesos from the minimum of 13 pesos.

01:21If LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadis III will ask,

01:24these petitions may be allowed.

01:27I think an increase is already needed.

01:31Already?

01:32Yes, long overdue.

01:34The price of gasoline and the cost of maintenance of these motor vehicles has increased.

01:43It is imperative that we accommodate.

01:46The only issue is how much the fare hike will give.

01:50But what about commuters?

01:52For example, grade 11 student Vincent Molenio,

01:54instead of his snack, his fare hike will be higher than his budget.

01:59I will reduce my fare.

02:02I have a lot of expenses since school.

02:06Homer Paz has five children.

02:09So if the fare hike is increased,

02:10not only will he travel to Manila City Hall,

02:12but he will also give his children a ride.

02:15It has a big effect, especially for my family.

02:18I have five children.

02:19The fare hike will be increased anyway.

02:22According to the Transport Group of Pistón,

02:24motorists and commuters are both victims of the rising prices of goods.

02:28They urge the Marcos Administration to suspend the value-added tax

02:32and excise tax on oil products

02:34and find the root of inflation and poverty.

02:42If this fare hike continues,

02:45the government will also ask for a study on what will be the effect of this

02:48on inflation and the rise in purchases in our economy.

02:53This is Strick Hirit from Divisoria, Manila,

02:55for GMA Integrated News.
