In a very confusing and contradicting manner, DOTC Secretary Mendoza retracted his statement yesterday regarding his “hold” order on the implementation of the jeepney and bus fares hike effective tomorrow, Wednesday 21 May 2008.
Based on an online report from GMANews.tv, Sec. Mendoza received an order from Mrs. Arroyo (the President) to implement the fare hike tomorrow, Wednesday.
I bet, this will generate a lot of confusion tomorrow among the passengers and drivers.
