This, despite transport group PISTON saying that as of Monday afternoon that routes in Valenzuela, Malabon, and University of the Philippines, as well as some parts in Manila and in Quezon City were “90 to 100% paralyzed.”

Meanwhile, Malacañang said public utility vehicles (PUV) remain in normal operations except in select routes during the first day of the week-long transport strike.

At least 11 PUV groups in Metro Manila did not participate in the said strike. — ag
