After staying overnight at a standstill with PNP officers barricading España Boulevard, members of transport group MANIBELA voluntarily disperse their caravan from Welcome Rotonda between Quezon City and Manila on April 16, 2024, as part of their transport strike against the PUV Modernization Program.

The final deadline for consolidation of franchises under the program is set on April 30, with protesters and other transport groups fearing their displacement due to the high costs involved in participating in the program.
