The 2023-2024 transport strikes in the Philippines are a series of strikes by operators of traditional public jeepneys and minivans held in various cities across the Philippines to protest against the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program. Three strikes were held in March, July (later canceled), October and November 2023.

Strike organizers later revealed that the administration had agreed to delay the implementation of the program to December 31, 2023, and to use the intervening months to review all the aspects of the program implementation, taking the concerns of drivers and operators into account.
