Huli ka!

Transport groups have announced that they have decided to put their strike plans on hold. According to this article on Inquirer.net, they will be giving the oil companies a chance to bring down pump prices in the next week or two, before they decide whether to proceed or not.

Is this in response to the calls for a fare rollback? According to LTFRB chairman Thompson Lantion, a meeting with commuter and transport groups today has resulted in a decision to bring down fares by Christmas time. A delay in the fare rollback would definitely be a boon to public utility drivers and companies, as this does not preclude any pump price reductions.
