- The Vice President’s office launched the ‘Libreng Sakay’ program in August 2022 to offer free transportation services.
- Passenger numbers doubled to over two million by June 2025, reflecting increased demand within six months.
- Nine buses operate under the program, including two owned by the OVP and seven leased from private firms.
- The initiative will continue until the end of Vice President Sara Duterte’s term, with plans to possibly expand routes and vehicles.
Even if we can no longer sustain it, we will still continue because this is the kind of service that directly impacts people the most.— Ruth Castelo, spokesperson of the Office of the Vice President, about the 'Libreng Sakay' program.
