Two-Day Nationwide Transport Strike.
The U.S. Embassy in Manila has issued a formal demonstration alert for a nationwide transportation strike scheduled for tomorrow, March 26, through Friday, March 27, 2026. A coalition of transport groups—including jeepney, bus, and UV Express drivers—is striking to demand government intervention against the skyrocketing fuel prices caused by the Middle East crisis. Significant disruptions to public transport and heavy police presence are expected in Metro Manila and other major cities. Authorities have advised travelers to allow for extra travel time and to avoid large gatherings.
