Fare hike

Effective today, I paid P14 in ordinary bus ride from home to Munoz and P9.50 jeepney ride from Munoz to my place of work. Yes I need to spare P1.50 from my daily food budget because the government approved the provisional fare hike the transport sector appealed - after a day DOTC Sec. Leandro Mendoza defferred LTFRB Chief Thompson Lantions approval of the said petition.
The P20 wage hike for minimum earners like me is not yet implemented and here is an added burden to my budget. How about the coming days until the wage hike will be effective? When series of oil increase is still expected, what will be the value of P20 a day then?
