Solid North sues Victory Liner
USE OF CEMETERY ROAD
ACCESS to the Cemetery Road from Mayombo District has become the center of a dispute as result of the city ordinance requiring a nose in-nose out policy for bus terminals.
A case has been filed before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) by Solid North bus company against Victory Liner for not allowing its buses to enter and exit at the Cemetery Road at the back of the terminals of the two bus companies on Perez Boulevard.
The case was filed by Solid North at the sala of RTC Judge Emma Torio of Branch 40, and the latter issued a temporary restraining order allowing Solid North to use the Cemetery Road.
The controversy arose when the city government prevented buses from exiting and entering their terminals on Perez Boulevard, Solid North could not comply because Victory Liner refused to allow it to use the Cemetery Road.
Victory Liner is claiming the Cemetery Road which it allegedly bought from the Dagupan Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce which was then headed by then Mayor Benjamin Lim.
The road was donated by the Lioanag family to the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which owns the Chinese Cemetery, in order to provide the Chinese community access to their cemetery.
It is not known why the Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce allowed then Mayor Lim to sell the Cemetery Road, a donation, to Victory Liner.
Only the buses of Victory Liner and those of its sister company, Five Star, are using the Cemetery Road at the back of their terminals as entrance and exit roads.
Meanwhile, the litigation continues. (Leonardo Micua)
