Nag rally na naman mga peste sa kalye sa tabi ng City Hall. As usual, may kakampi sila na parehong walang kuwenta at bwiset sa buhay...

Youths Join Manila-wide Pedicab Strike, Decries Planned Pedicab Ban ‘Death to the Poor’
Published on November 15, 2010

PRESS RELEASE
November 15, 2010

Youth group Anakbayan took to the streets of Manila today in support of the one-day strike by the city’s pedicab and ‘kuliglig’ (motorized pedicab) drivers. The strike was launched by the Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Kuliglig at Pedicab Driver-Manila (ALNAPEDKU-Manila) to protest plans by Manila City Hall to ban pedicabs and ‘kuligligs’ from the city’s streets.

“With a shortage of social services on one hand, and a lack of decent jobs available in another, the pedicab and kuliglig ban is nothing more than the Manila government stealing food from the tables of thousands of drivers’ families in Manila” said Anakbayan spokesperson Charisse Bañez.

“Their job as pedicab drivers, as low-earning as it may be, is the thin line between life and death by starvation. The Aquino regime has no right in depriving them of their meager livelihoods if they are unable to give them decent alternatives” said the youth leader.

She pointed out that more and more Filipinos resort to working the so-called ‘informal sector’ because of the lack of job opportunities in urban areas and in the industrial and agricultural sectors. She said that this was already the ‘last resort’ for unemployed Filipinos.

What does this youth organization represent, they are suppose to be the hope for the future, and not the promoter of anarchy on the streets. Obviously there is a group that financed this - - - "leftists."

On topic, I don't understand these operators, they are given ample time to seek alternative means, a simple removal of them equates to depriving their livelihood ? "Ang babaw naman ata ng logic nila para mag sabi ng ganito."

[Monseratto]

Di naman sila tinatangalan ng livelihood. They are only being restricted. Banned ang kuliglig pero di pa banned ang pedicab, pero bawal sila sa National roads. So what denial of livelihood are they talking about?

[afrasay]

Kahit total ban di naman sila inalisan ng means of livelihood. Yun driver naman di naman na ban so he can still find other source of livelihood. :D Hopeless na talaga ang Philippines, votes pa rin ang importante sa authorities.

[Nell]

Di ba pwedeng araw-arawin na nila yung strike para at least nasa may City Hall lang sila at hindi nakakakalat sa major roads ng Manila.

[chujosh]

[size=4]all public utility vehicles really pisses me off..

It would take a miracle for the drivers to follow traffic rules and observe road etiquette. [/size]

[darthtracy]

sana wag bumigay si mayor lim dito! i ban na yan! paanu naman ung mga di mabilang na motorista na nagasgasan ng mga ito! hindi daw nakakatrapik! HA! pumunta ka sa romualdez st. parallel of san marcelino nagkakacounterflow! ikaw pa ang iiwas!. most important! pag nasagasaan ka nito kahit anung aninag mu sa mga ito wala kang makikita na plate number na kahit makatakas at least mahahanap mo sa plate number. eto wala. December 1! mayor lim magpakalalake ka, wag kang bibigay sa mga yan. THE LAW APPLIES TO ALL OTHERWISE NONE AT ALL. di po ba mayor yan ang pinauso mo.

[jubs00]

Malakas ba naman ang mga preno ng mga iyan?....

[Monseratto]

Pedicab drivers seek TRO from SC

MANILA, Philippines—Pedicab and kuliglig (motorized pedicab) drivers in Manila asked the Supreme Court Thursday to stop the city government from implementing two executive orders issued by Mayor Alfredo Lim which would ban them from major thoroughfares and national roads.

With just a few minutes to go before the close of office hours, representatives of the Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Pedicab at Kuliglig Drivers ng Manila (Alnapedku-Manila) and their lawyer filed a petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO) with the high court.

In particular, they asked the high tribunal to stop Lim from implementing Executive Order Nos. 16 and 17, which would ban the kuliglig and pedicabs, respectively, from plying the city’s main thoroughfares and national roads beginning December 1.

The twin orders were issued by Lim in September following complaints about the proliferation of the three-wheeled vehicles, in addition to the pollution and chaos they were causing in the city streets.

Aside from the TRO and a writ of preliminary injunction, Alnapedku asked the court to declare the two executive orders null and void as they claimed the power to regulate them lies with the city council and not the mayor.

“The executive orders also violated due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution,” said the group’s lawyer, Elias Omar Sana.

The kuliglig drivers had been allowed to ply their routes as long as their operators registered with and obtained permits from the Manila Tricycle Regulation Office but not before they underwent emission testing, paid the required fees and complied with requirements.

Sana said that of all a sudden, the city government decided to get rid of the three-wheeled vehicles.

He claimed that they were being discriminated against unlike tricycle drivers.

According to him, the two orders were a violation of his clients’ basic right to have a regular source of livelihood.

Despite the filing of a petition for a TRO, the city government said it was not about to back down.

When reached for comment, Manila City Hall chief of staff Ricardo de Guzman said it was within the group’s rights to turn to the courts for help.

He added that the city government would just await the high court’s ruling, whatever it might be.

“We will wait for the SC’s orders,” De Guzman said

...ang problema din kasi ay sinasakyan ng mga tao. Sana ay magkaisa ang publiko at iwasang sumakay sa mga kuliglig. Kailangan pa bang magkaroon ng malaking aksidente para malaman na ang mga iyan ay road hazard?

Here we go again, this group of people seeks a lawyer's help and all they can do is put up the "due process" alibi?

They are the # 1 road violators, they got no insurance premium to cover their expenses if they get into an accident and they use the roads without paying a single tax, they are operated by unlicensed and undisciplined teenagers.

The court should take into account all of these rather than siding with a few operators who are causing additional pollution and chaos on our roads.

[roydok]

Stupid Kuliglig drivers! I hope hindi sila mabigyan ng TRO.

Talagang hangang "sorry" na lang ang mga ito, wala naman pambayad kun maka aksidente sila. Kaya nga dapat na mawala sila sa mga lansangan.

[cast_no_shadow]

They will be banned by December 1, 2010? Tama ba? finally..

[bwiseat]

They will be banned by December 1, 2010? Tama ba? finally..

Yes sir. Dapat pala effective October 1 pa pero nanghingi ng palugit ang mga operators pambalik puhunan lang daw kaya binigyan ng 3 months.

Di naman pala sila "totally" banned eh. Sa mga main roads lang. Lalabas at lalabas pa din ang mga yan panigurado.

[Monseratto]

Dumami yung pedicabs ulit. Also some kuligligs converted to scooters w/ white plates ahead of tomorrow. Still encountered a kuliglig counterflowing dito sa T. Pinpin. Hope that's the last time I'll see one, but knowing how things are...
