EconomyPhilippines transport workers launch two-day strike over rising fuel prices

Public transport workers in the Philippines have begun a two-day strike over rising fuel prices. Organisers say at least 70,000 drivers and operators will join, demanding the removal of fuel taxes and a cut to 88 cents per litre, the pre-February price before US and Israeli attacks on Iran. The Philippines declared a national energy emergency in March, the first country to do so over fuel prices.
