Vallacar management condemns the use of ‘gimmicks’
By Dominique Gabriel G. Bañaga

The Philippine National Police-Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (PNP-SOSIA) ordered the AGNSA Negros Security Agency reinstated at the Bacolod South Terminal yesterday. According to acting PNP-SOSIA chief, Police Colonel Michael John Dubria, the directive was based on an investigation related to the current intra-corporate dispute within Vallacar Transit Inc. (VTI), parent company of the Ceres Bus Liner.
Members of the city’s police force, including the Bacolod City special weapons and tactics team, arrived in anti-riot gear to oversee the reinstatement.
Dubria claimed the AY-76 Security Specialist Incorporated guards, who were installed by VTI President Roy Yanson, were not in compliance with PNP-SOSIA provisions.
In response to the incident, VTI spokesperson, Atty. Raul Bitoon, referred to the matter as an “illegal takeover” and accused ousted VTI President Leo Rey Yanson of using “gimmicks.”
“This [is] patently illegal and sends a wrong signal to the business community,” he explained. “This act, reportedly [by] our past president and still-board director Leo Rey Yanson, is a subversive act that disrespects the law [and] the courts, and [is] a direct contravention of the family constitution.”
Bitoon called on the former company president to “show sincerity” and “cease from these kinds of gimmicks just to sustain media interest.”/DGB, WDJ
