Filipino Jeepney workers are at risk of losing their livelihoods by the end of this month! The new deadline of the PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP) on April 31st is forcing Jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate their jeepneys, coercing them to surrender their franchise rights. This unjust policy disproportionately impacts many of those who can’t afford the exorbitant costs of modernization, with modern jeepneys priced at 2 million pesos.
With this deadline looming, it is imperative more than ever to support the resistance of Filipino transport workers. So, we are bringing you the 'Atin ang Lansangan' zine (The Road is Ours), in support of the Tanggol Pasada Network, a network that fights against the PUVMP and promotes progressive and people-oriented transportation in the Philippines. 100 % of the profits will go towards their work.
In collaboration with Inklusibo, this zine was curated by the Artists Against Jeepney Phaseout, compiling artworks, photographs, and poems from dozens of Filipino artists. We see this art as an offering to Filipinos worldwide, urging all of us to fight alongside Jeepney workers in the motherland.
