“As early as October 15, we approved a special permit for buses to travel on routes that are not theirs, on long routes like Bicol, in Cagayan and Laoag,” Guadiz said in Filipino.

“As of now, we have already given special permits to 1,200 buses, including UVs, that want to travel during this Undas season,” he added.
