Thousands of public transport drivers in Manila have begun a three-day strike over soaring fuel prices, saying rising costs and taxes have pushed their incomes below a living wage.
The action is taking place in the Philippine capital as drivers protest the financial pressure facing their livelihoods. They say the money they earn is no longer enough to meet the cost of living.
The strike is centred on fuel prices, which drivers have identified as a major burden alongside increased taxes and other rising expenses.
