Philippines transport workers launch two-day strike over rising fuel prices

Public transport workers in the Philippines have called a two-day strike over rising fuel prices.
Organisers say at least 70,000 drivers and operators will take part.
Protesters demand the scrapping of fuel taxes, and cutting fuel prices to 88 cents a litre.
That's what it was before the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
The Philippines imposed a state of national energy emergency in March - the first country to do so over fuel prices.
