Davao bus firm’s franchise suspended

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board suspended for 30 days the franchise of a Davao City-based bus firm whose unit figured in an accident on Christmas Day which killed 32 passengers and wounded 31 others.

LTFRB chairman Dante Lantin said the suspension order covers 10 buses of Weena Express Inc. and will be made permanent if the firm fails to show proof that it has given "adequate assistance" to the victims.

The ill-fated Weena bus fell off a 50-foot deep ravine in Bansalan, Davao del Sur last Dec. 25, after hitting another Weena unit. Sheila Crisostomo
