    Jeepneys on strike in Cebu today.

    My fiance Sheina just messaged me to say all the jeepneys have gone on strike today.

    Jeepney fares gone up to 10 peso. Gasoline has gone up by 2 peso and vegetables and rice too.

    Everyone isn't happy.

    What was the cost of a Jeepney fare before? I thought it was about 10 peso.

    If people can afford a car there, then I don't think an extra 2 peso a litre on gasoline will stop the rice being eaten 3 times a day.

    Jeepney basic fare has gone up from 8 pesos to 10.

    It depends how far you travel.
