REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This Chapter presents the related literature and studies through the search
done by the researchers:
Increased fare was started last July 06, 2018 at exactly 1:17 pm. The
riding public minimum pay was Php.9 while for the students, seniors, and
PWD was Php.8.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)
confirmed that P1 temporary increase on the minimum fare for jeepneys
plying routes in Metro Manila, Central Luzon and CALABARZON. Government
dumped the case on rising fuels prices to the commuters by allowing an
increase in fares, George San Mateo said that once the LTFRB order was
signed commuters should expect that the jeepneys will change their current
minimum fare from Php.8 to Php.9.
According to George San Mateo, The President of Pinagkaisahang
Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Opereytor Nationwide (PISTON), the
government passed the problem of high oil prices to the commuters by
increasing their fare so that the drivers will recovered the high price of oil.
The Public as Scapegoat
Commuters are treated like a scapegoat, because they was unfairly
blamed what others have done.
PISTON suggested to the government to suspend the enforcement of
the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Act to lower fuel
prices and avoid a raise in fares. The government was not approved on what
PISTON said. There are many possible solutions, suspending the
enforcement of the TRAIN law is one of them. The increased fare was the
cause of people’s present economic difficulties.
TRAIN law took effect on January 1. It raised the ceiling on tax-
exempt income but imposed higher taxes on oil products and other goods,
amplifying the effects of firmer global oil prices in recent months. San Mateo
appealed to commuters not to blame jeepney drivers for the fare hike,
otherwise the commuter should blame the government’s policies.
Blame World Oil Prices
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told reporters that, Malacañang
blamed the fare hike on rising world oil prices. It’s a result of the increase in
the price of petroleum. But they assure the commuter that if the price of
petroleum goes down, there would be corresponding adjustments as well.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque told reporters.
According to Julie M. Aurelio (2018), the commuters denounced the
LTFRB decision.
Garcia (2018), a College student, the basic goods have become
expensive too. And now that the fare also increased, she enjoy student
discounts and the fare hike means she have to pay P8 now.
Nicolas Celo (2018), a Junior High School student, expressed dismay
at the fare hike, which would affect his daily allowance. But he conceded
that jeepney drivers were burdened with high fuel prices.
Money is involved in many things and situations around the world;
every person had experienced, even once, to see and to hold money, so it’s
indeed a big part of everyone’s life. It can be in the form of metal coin or
piece of paper, but people value this thing to sustain their everyday needs
like food, water, and clothes. One can’t just go to the market to buy foods if
he/she does not have money right? It can also provide things for people’s
satisfaction like gadgets, appliances and accessories. There’s an idiom in
which it stated that “money does not grow on trees”, meaning a person
should be careful of how much money he spends because there is only a
limited amount. However, there are ways on. They usually get P150 to P250
(excluding transport allowance) per day. The allowance covers P50 to P100
for lunch, P30 to P50 for merienda, P20 on average for photocopies, and P50
to P80 for school requirements like printing, buying pens, etc. It also
included that students outside Manila, especially those living in municipalities
usually get about P100 to P150 per day. But still, it’s the parent’s decision if
how much cash they will give to their children as long as it fits the family’s
budget and the amount was suitable for a teen to handle. Also, they can
decide on how often their children should receive allowance; it can be daily,
weekly or monthly.
According to LTFRB (2018), board cited the rise in oil prices and the
increase in the prices of commodities as the reason for increasing fare and
granting the petition of transport groups.

Problem and Its Settings
Introduction

problem and the question it will answer, the hypothesis, the significance of
the study, the scope and delimitation of the study, the operational definition
of the variables, and the conceptual framework.
Background of the Study

sustain their everyday needs like food, water, and clothes. The government
