Marcos hopes transport strike won't push through, says PUV modernization needed but not urgent

President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. on Wednesday expressed hope that the week-long transport strike would not push through.

By ANNA FELICIA BAJO, GMA Integrated NewsPresident Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Wednesday expressed hope that the week-long transport strike would not push through.

"I'm hoping na dito sa mga initiatives na iniisip natin eh makumbinsi naman natin ang mga transport groups na huwag na muna mag-strike dahil kawawa talaga ang mga tao at marami pang naghihirap at mas lalo pang maghihirap 'pag hindi makapasok sa trabaho," Marcos said in an ambush interview. "Ngayon, sa issue sa modernization na sinasabi, sa aking palagay, ay kailangan ding gawin talaga 'yan. Ngunit, sa pag-aaral ko, parang hindi naging maganda ang implementation nung modernization," Marcos said.

Marcos pointed out that there is a need to "look properly at what the real timetable is for the introduction of electric vehicles." He cited the need to build up the "infrastructures" when it comes to PUV modernization.
