Jeepney drivers in Philippines to go on 3-day strike starting Monday

Manila, April 28 (UNI) Jeepney drivers in the Philippines will mount a three-day nationwide strike starting Monday to protest the government's plans to remove decades-old jeepneys off the streets.
The transport strike, which will run until May 1, has prompted the Department of Education to order all public schools nationwide to resort to online classes on April 29 and 30.
The educational directive was issued also as some parts of the Philippines have broken their highest temperature records in recent days. The sweltering weather is forecast to persist until the middle of May.
