Public transport drivers in Manila have begun a three-day strike to protest soaring fuel prices, disrupting commutes across the Philippine capital. Drivers say rising fuel costs are squeezing their earnings, and the action is expected to pressure the government to provide relief such as subsidies or fare adjustments. The strike has drawn attention to the wider burden of fuel costs on ordinary workers in the Philippines.

Democrat Pete Buttigieg has publicly criticized the Trump administration's rollback of fuel-economy standards, according to NPR.

The critique adds to ongoing political disputes over auto industry regulation, with manufacturers and environmental groups watching closely as emission and mileage requirements are loosened.
