Members of transport group MANIBELA hold placards as they shout slogans during the first day of their three-day transport strike in Manila on December 9.<br /><br />The strike, which is part of a nationwide protest, was launched to denounce what the group describes as excessive penalties, alleged extortion, and slow processing of transport documents.<br /><br />MANIBELA leaders say members across Metro Manila and several provinces have joined the demonstration to call attention to issues they claim have long burdened jeepney operators under current transport policies.
