My country has been undergoing a lot of controversies and issues. One of these is the demand of the jeepney drivers for a Fare hike. It has been in the news and tabloids. I thought it will still take for months before it will be approved but surprisingly, it’s NO!
After series of oil price increase, the jeepney drivers demanded for fare increase and it really was approved. I was surprised last May 24,2008 that the student and elderly passengers have to pay P6.00 from P5.60 and the regular passengers have to pay P7.50 from P7:00. And it was approved last May 21st of 2008. Though the increase was not that big but nowadays, every cents really count. And no one can afford to waste another cent.
It took me few minutes before I was back to my system that I really had to pay P7.50. I was really surprised because I just can’t imagine that everything goes up except salary. And if these expenses won’t stop from going up, what will happen to our fellowmen who earned not enough for the family?


. Then you didn’t even mind asking why? I just let you did your way. When I opened my friendster I just found out that, that the person that I’m talking about is in your featured friends. You didn’t even mind inviting me to your network. I am shock, I didn’t know what to do.
