Hundreds of transport workers in the Philippines' capital Manila have gone on strike over rising fuel costs.
Diesel and petrol prices have more than doubled since the Iran war broke out on 28 February - with the Philippines now in a state of national energy emergency.
One 62-year-old driver in Manila told the BBC the situation was getting increasingly desperate, saying he had no food to support his five children and had not received any cash aid from the government.
It comes as Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos said he was working to secure new sources of oil, adding that the country was "looking at everything we can do".
The strikes are being led by transport union coalition Piston, who have laid out sweeping demands - from scrapping fuel taxes and rolling back oil prices, to abandoning deregulation and introducing state controls.
