MANILA, Philippines — The Quezon City Police District will dispatch 25 vehicles within its covered areas to aid commuters affected by the upcoming three-day transport strike on Monday, according to its chief, Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan.

Maranan on Sunday said they will deploy these vehicles in strategic locations within Quezon City, which a team of officers will operate.

We understand the challenges they may face in reaching their destinations, and we want to alleviate that burden by offering free rides during this period of disruption,” the chief said in a statement.
