Who would’ve thought that taking Selfies can be used for a good cause? Well, BAYAN-NCR did, in fact they’ve organized an online protest where netizens are actually encouraged to take a selfie to express their dismay about the impending increase of LRT/MRT fare.

To participate, citizens can upload a picture of themselves on FB, Instagram or Twitter with an anti-MRT/LRT slogan. They can then tag the group on their respective social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) and/or include hashtags such as #StrikeTheHike, #SelfieProtest and #NoToMRTLRTFareHikes on their post.
#StrikeTheHike is a multi-sectoral network of Filipino consumers against price hikes and privatization. For more information about this online movement and other projects of BAYAN-NCR, you can visit their FB page on the source link below.

Sa mga lumipas na taon, lahat ng bilihin, kabilang ang mga bagay na kinakailangan upang patakbuhin ang MRT at LRT, ay nagtaas na ng presyo, subalit ang pamasahe ng mga naturang pampublikong transportasyon ay hindi tumataas. Oo, mas masaya kung mananatiling mababa ang pamasahe sa MRT at LRT, pero kung susuriin mabuti ang realidad, e panahon na para magtaas. Nagrereklamo tayo kung bakit pangit ang mga tren natin. Bakit di natin tingnan kung magkano lang binabayad natin?
