A woman blocked and even lied down in front of Malayang Alyansa ng Bus Employees at Laborers’ (MANIBELA) jeepney strike along the road of Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City prior to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s second State of the Nation Address (SONA).
“Sagot sa kaharipan, wag tamad!,” said the woman who believed to be a Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) supporter while doing the Marcos' signature peace sign.
“Mga anti yan—mga antay. Antay ng antay ng biyaya! —kasi nga yung dating ama niya, dyis sentimos na nutribun busog na ako! Mag-antay lang kayo, darating rin yan” she added.

Manibela members could be seen holding tarpaulins that reads, “No to PUV phaseout” during their protest.
The transport group is set to go ahead with a 3-day transport strike to protest guidelines under the government's public utility vehicle modernization program.
Around 200,000 jeepney drivers nationwide are taking part in the strike, including 40,000 to 45,000 drivers from Metro Manila.
