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