Vallacar Transit Inc., the largest subsidiary of the Yanson Group of Bus Companies, announced Monday a management shake-up following an intra-corporate dispute among members of the Yanson family.

The company held a special stockholders’ meeting at its main office in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City to elect a new board. The stockholders including Yanson matriarch Olivia Yanson elected Leo Rey Yanson, Olivia Yanson, Ginnette Dumancas, and Charles M. Dumancas as members of the board of directors.

Following the election of the new directors, the board held a re-organizational meeting and reinstated Leo Rey Yanson as the president of the company. 

Also elected were Charles Dumancas as vice president, Ginnette Dumancas as treasurer and Olivia V. Yanson as corporate secretary.

A boardroom battle ensued on July 7, 2019 when four Yanson siblings, in a purported special board meeting, unceremoniously unseated Leo Rey Yanson as the president of Vallacar Transit.  Leo Rey was subsequently replaced by his eldest brother Roy Yanson.

The special stockholders’ meeting on August 19 effectively re-affirmed Leo Rey Yanson as the rightful president of Vallacar Transit, according to the company.

The new board of directors said it also passed resolutions tasking the company’s legal team to recommend possible legal action/s against Ma. Lourdes Celina Lopez over her alleged P380-million outstanding obligation to the company in accordance with the audit report from SGV and on the results of the cash property and asset inventory audit.

SGV was appointed as the corporation’s external auditors for the year 2019.

Vallacar Transit is the largest subsidiary of the Yanson Group of Bus Companies and is the company behind Ceres Liner and Sugbo Transit. The Yanson Group, the parent company, is one of the largest bus conglomerates in Southeast Asia which operates more than 4,000 buses nationwide.  

Established in 1968, the 52-year-old conglomerate founded by Ricardo Yanson Sr., the Yanson patriarch, now has a total of 18,000 employees who provide transport services to 700,000 passengers daily.
