QUEZON CITY – Transport cooperative leaders have expressed apprehension over President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s announcement during his State of the Nation Address before the House
of Representatives on July 28, 2025, stating that his administration will revive the Love Bus program and expand “Libreng Sakay” (free rides) for stranded commuters, particularly during
rush hours and inclement weather. While the announcement drew applause from the audience, cooperative leaders raised concerns about its implications for their operations.
