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.

Habulin sana muna naten ung mga bilyones nina Napoles, Cong. Way Kurat at Ghost Cong. Abalos sobra sobra pa iyon para sa pag improve ng MRT/LRT.
Reader says:
This populist agenda is obviously being spearheaded by communist Bayan and their cohorts in the House. They want the government to become a welfare one that gives anything that the citizens want for free.
Sorry, communists, but the fare hike is gonna happen whether you like it or not. Why don’t you run along to Mother China and ask for help then?
hehehe says:
wala naman mapupuntahan ng strike ek ek na ito. hehe.. kahit protesta nga sa mendiola hindi pinapansin ito pa kaya.
jego207 says:
…and the plan is to annoy them with #selfies?
Joyce says:
MRT/LRT is too cheap though, compared to other countries. I’m okay with the increase. At least mababawasan ang mga sikip pag rush hour
oh cmon says:
The one who handle those social networking accounts would be very please with all those “selfies” specially yung mga most beautiful and gorgeous girls na mag sesend & mag-tatag ng pics nila.
Give it time, kakalat din yang mga pics sa mga blog sites. Tapos wala naman mangyayari.

ayos lang sana kung maraming pera ang Pilipinas para masubsidize ang expenses ng LRT/MRT. if we want to maintain the LRT/MRT, kelangan talaga ng pera at as of now, fare hike lang talaga ang solusyon. ang gusto ba nila ay mag-allot ng malaking budget ang national government kung saan NCR lang ang makikinabang? pano naman yung the rest of the philippines, kung saan pwedeng magamit yung budget for the rest of the country?
e30ernest says:
I’m for the price hike. The MRT prices are way lower than it should be. The lack of funding has seen the stations and the trains fall to disrepair and in the quest to make the most out of the tiny fares, they are limiting the number of trains running to maximize passenger load. The resulting congestion of passengers is not only a safety and health hazard, but has turned the trains into a haven for pickpockets.
The MRT/LRT is supposed to be the fastest way to move people from point A to point B in the metro. To me it doesn’t make sense that this would be much cheaper than riding a bus.
booboo says:
Sus, kailangan na talaga taasan ang pasahe ng MRT/LRT. YES to fare hike! Ang government walang pera. Sa laki ng population sa Metro Manila dapat may malawak ang coverage ng light rail system sa atin. Pero hindi makagawa ng more lines ang government kasi walang pera. Puro subsidy. Transport system is there for convenience, and there’s a price for it. Kung ayaw magbayad eh pwedeng pwede maglakad.
leeto says:
Hay pinoy nga naman, gusto lahat mura or libre. Bakit kailangan buong bansa ang magsubsidize sa LRT at MRT? Eh taga Metro Manila man lang ang nakikinabang. Mabuti may fare hike para iwas siksikan.
Reader says:
Privatize the MRT/LRT companies! We need quality mass transport in this country! I don’t need cheapskates saying they want a lower MRT/LRT fare and contending themselves with dilapidated facilities! I’d even pay a 100 bucks for a ride if a privatized MRT/LRT company improves the operations and facilities of the trains by 1000%.
Mr. Curious says:
it’s like “capslocking” them to death hahaha this protest is just like a fly that annoys you and you can just swat it away.
Dada says:
Isipin nyo nalang ung subway train sa Japan inaabot ng P100 dulo to dulo isang line lang na may 19 stations. May mas mahaba pa siguro mas mahal na. Sobrang ganda wala kang hihilingin pa.
JP says:
UNICEF should be made aware of this!
silent b0bjay says:
panahon na mga dre kaya puff and pass!
joey says:
pati malacanang privitized na if we want quality service.
Glenn says:
yes to fare hike, para mabawasan na yung mga mandurugas, mandurukot, magnanakaw dyan. yung tipong they can’t affort to buy a fare.
thecorrescode says:
Tama lang na mahalan para yung can afford makabili ng sabon pampaligo lang makakasakay…
rey says:
hmm… ok lang naman kahit mas mahal ng konti, kaso kawawa naman yung mga workers na biglang nanunulak at naniniko pag bumubukas na yung pinto ng lrt… baka hindi na sya makasakay…
emem says:
i pro hike and o believe it’s about time. take note that taxpayer’s money is spend on this. taxpayers na hindi lang mga taga metro manila na hindi naman nila nagagamit. it only makes sense na dapat naman siguro tayong mga taga manila maghandle ng costs since mga taga manila lang naman ang gumagait nito…
hopia man says:
Kung talaga ba namang bibilis at luluwag ang lrt mrt dito sa pilipinas bakit hindi. pero kung kamoteng proyekto yan at di pinagisipan eh kawawa na naman tayong lahat
Benchmark says:
Not being as anti poor but I am pro fare hike sa mrt-Lrt.
kaya maraming sumasakay dyan dahil mabilis na, mura pa. Hinde ba dapat nasa middle yan? What I mean is Bus and jeeps are slow but cheap, taxi are comfort, fast but expensive…mrt-lrt should be comfortable, fast and not so expensive as taxi.
Dahil sa mabilis at mura na yan, sa opinion ko, un quality at safety ng pasahero nawawala na…plus the fact nalalaspag na yun train.
Hmmm hinde kaya ok na may oras na mura ang train (off peak) at may oras na mahal? Nah…baka mas maraming magreklamo. :)
meh says:
I’m pro price hike, but i think the LRT/MRT should stay as government ran and not private. Extra income will help fund expansion, its worth it
wew says:
pro ako sa fare hike pero anti sa pagprivatization kahit sabihin ng government na mas maganda daw kase ganito ung logic…pag private humawak nyan d na yan magiging abotkaya kasi magiging business na yan kasi lahat naman ng tao na nagbubusiness ay syempre gusto yumaman and heres the logic:Private:di lang operation, maintenance expenses,etc. ang sisingilin nila pati syempre sweldo(malaki esp. for higher positions) at TUBO(malaki din para yumaman sila as usual).pag GOVT: syempre ung expenses para mapagpatuloy ung pagpapatakbo nito,ung sa sweldo di yan masyado mataas kasi ung mga hahawak ng higher positions ay govt agency na rin kaya isahan na lng;sa tubo naman meron di pero mapupunta lahat un sa kaban ng bayan at sa improvements ng lrtmrt =)
Abrinor says:
I dont have an economics major pero based sa statistics average daily commuter sa MRT is 500,000 x 12php(minimum) thats 6 million a day kulang pa ba yun. Sa sobrang buwakaw sa pasahero ng ibang kundoktor at sa sikip ng edsa sa rush hour goodluck nalang sa pag gising ng maaga at sa pagtayo sa bus. My salary is just above the edge ng minimum wage a 5-10 peso increase will be fine anything more will hurt our wallets. Kung luluwag ang MRT tulad ng trains sa LRT2 ok na ok yun consistent pa yung aircon :D
Siano in the City says:
Mga buwis ng mga katulad kong probinsyano at mga hindi gumagamit ng LRT/MRT ang nag-subsidize ng mababang pasahe. Dapat lang na itaas ang pamasahe dyan, UNFAIR sa amin!
Teddy says:
I’m for the hike.
Itong mga komunistang to, protest na lang ng protest. Lahat na lang. Di nag-iisip.
Rovhiex says:
Parang Di kapanipaniwala mga comments na nababasa ko! Feeling ko isang tao lang ang nagpost ng lahat ng comments o mga ghost posers lang na nagsasabi gusto nila ng fare hike. Seriously, sinong Pilipino na may matinong utak ang gusto ipa “privatize” o sa mas madaling salita, “IBENTA”
ng Ang isang Pubic transportation system sa private sector! Mawawalan ng kontrol ang bayan dito gaya ng sa presyo ng gasolina at kuryente Wag tayo papadala sa mga comments na nababasa natin. Hindi porke marami ang nagsasabi na pabor sila ay ito na agad ang gusto ng mas nakararami. Minsan PEKE ang mga comments na ito na pinopost lamang ng mga tao na gusto mag manipula sa opinyon ng iba. Wag sana madelete ang comment ko.
Ands says:
Dapat na talaga itaas. Dahil sa sobrang mura, lahat na lang ata sumasakay dyan. Dapat mahati pasahero, yun iba kung di kaya, mag bus na lang, para kumita naman ang mga driver at konduktor.
user0101 says:
Tama lang itaas ang MRT/LRT ticket. Iyung sa MRT lang, never pa nagtaas ng presyo yan since binuksan yan for service. Para duun sa og*g na nagsabe na 6 million per day are okay na sa daily operations- bakit magkano na ba ang kuryente ngayon compared nung year 2000? Kung gusto niyo mag tren magbayad kayo ng tama, huwag niyo i-asa sa buwis ng bayan. Kung poor kayo mag bus na lang kayo, masyado kayo choosy.
furion says:
What a stupid initiative. How the eff does posting a selfie help?
wew says:
natutuwa ako na maraming nagcocomment dito na pro kayu sa fare hike pero napansin ko na parepareho din pla kayu na selfish tulad ng mga komunista…pabor dapat tayo sa fare hike para gumanda serbisyo nila at maging mas convenient sa mga tao ang pagsakay ng tren HINDI para mabawasan ang mga taong sumasakay dahil d na afford ang pamasahe…masyado kayong makasarili ang lrt at mrt ay tinayo para mas mapabilis ang pagtransport natin sa ibang lugar at mabawasan amg trapiko hindi para lang sa mga mayayaman tsktsk
tmcr7 says:
Bakit nga ba dapat bayaran ng pera ng taongbayan yung pamasahe ng mga Ortigas at Makati office workers? Kayang kaya nga ng mga yan bumili ng Starbucks at iPhone eh pamasahe pa kaya?
rilakkuma says:
If the gov’t really subsidizes that much, saan nila kinukuha ang bonus ng mga empleyado ng MRT/LRT na higit pa sa 2 months sweldo? I’m not an anti nor pro for this fare hike thing. I’m also a coomuter of trains, ang sakin lang sana maliquidize ng tama ang mga gastusin. Lahat ng sumsakay sa tren hindi naman dahil sa murang pamasahe, we’ve got no choice. Mas mahal na nga ang pamasahe sa bus, aabutin ka pa ng 2 hrs dahil sa traffic jam.
anon666 says:
others can afford to buy highend gadgets tapos sa pamasahe puro reklamo..
Enolram says:
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?
