MANIBELA Transport Strike Through Tuesday May Disrupt Manila Classes, FEU Goes Online

by

Transport group MANIBELA is holding a transport strike from tomorrow until Tuesday, September 22, affecting commuters across Metro Manila. Far Eastern University (FEU) has already shifted to online classes until Tuesday, and students are urging Manila universities to consider online arrangements for commuters. The strike directly affects Quezon City residents and other Metro Manila commuters who rely on jeepneys and public transport, making travel to school or work significantly harder. Students commuting from outside Manila, such as those from Valenzuela, face longer waits and may miss classes unless schools adopt flexible or online modalities. No official city-wide class suspension has been announced for Manila, so students should watch for announcements from their universities and the Manila city government. Commuters should plan extra travel time, consider alternative routes, and check whether their school will shift to online classes during the strike.

Student Seeks Free Library or Study Space in Metro Manila

by

A Grade 12 student posted on Reddit asking for free libraries or study spaces in Metro Manila, preferably near Malabon, where their group can meet on Sunday to prepare a research proposal. The request was shared on the r/MANILA subreddit ahead of a Monday deadline. This matters for students and families in Quezon City and nearby areas who often struggle to find free, accessible places to study on weekends. The answers could help other students locate budget-friendly study spots without spending on cafés. The student needs a free, easy-to-reach location open on Sunday, since they are Grade 12 students from public schools with limited money. Commenters would likely suggest public libraries, university libraries, or government study hubs, but no specific venue was confirmed in the post.
