The barangay captain of Vista Alegre in Bacolod City said he will prevent the operation of the “libre sakay” program in their barangay if his constituents oppose it.
Barangay Captain Jose Maria Leandro Norberto “Lindy” De Leon was reacting to the opposition of the tricycle and jeepney associations who cater to passengers of Abada Escay and Arao Relocation sites, to the “libre sakay” program which they claimed he authored.
The program actually started after the Office of Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte opened its 7th Satellite Office in Bacolod City recently.
The Bacolod OVP Satellite Office initially caters to medical and burial assistance for Bacolodnons and Negrenses while the Libreng Sakay Bus is being provided by the Vallacar Transit.*
