The final verdict on what will be done for the passengers of the three Philtranco Buses that departed from Metro Manila this Monday at 12 noon, are waiting for disposition and decision from Inter-Agency Task-Force due to meet tomorrow, Wednesday, March 18, at 8 in the morning. In the meantime, they will remain at Shell Station in San Fernando, to hold on until proper arrangements can be made for them.
The passengers, bound home for Davao, Cagayan De Oro, Lanao, Surigao, and Tacloban, left for Manila yesterday, March 16, Monday, at 12 noon from Pasay.
According to some passengers, they lamented that they have resigned from their jobs in Metro Manila, and have given up their boarding houses, leaving them with nowhere to return to in the event that they will be forced to return to Metro Manila.
