President Rodrigo Duterte, who arrived in Bacolod City last Thursday to celebrate the birthday of Yanson family matriarch Olivia Yanson, delivered a short speech where he appealed for the Yanson family to reconcile.
The Yansons, who run Vallacar Transit Inc., operator of the Ceres Bus liner, have been going through a family feud over the past few months.
The president was joined by Senators Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go, Ronald Dela Rosa, Cynthia Villar, and Imee Marcos; along with Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo.
Meanwhile, Duterte reportedly had a private meeting with the family of former Bacolod City Councilor Ricardo Tan, however, Watchmen Daily Journal is currently unable to confirm the report./DGB, WDJ
