Why transport workers are protesting in the Philippines

Protests are occurring in the Philippines involving transport workers and students. These demonstrations follow the Philippines becoming the first country to declare an energy emergency. The declaration is a consequence of the US-Israeli war with Iran. BBC News Asia Business Correspondent Suranjana Tewari interviewed protesters to understand their motivations for taking to the streets. The protests are a response to the energy emergency declaration and its potential impact on the transport sector and the wider population. The timing of the protests coincides with the declaration and the escalating geopolitical tensions.
