OCD offers free rides in Leyte
Amid mobility restrictions on the San Juanico Bridge, the Office of Civil Defense in Eastern Visayas has ramped up efforts to sustain the region’s supply chain through its “Libreng Sakay Program” for essential and perishable goods.
OCD 8 Director Lord Byron Torrecarion told The Manila Times on Monday, July 14, 2025, during the Regional Rescue Jamboree in Baybay City, Leyte, that they operate four to six trips daily. The government tapped Roble Shipping Co. as the vessel operator for the route
As government agencies work to complete the San Juanico Bridge repairs, Torrecarion also revealed that plans are underway to construct a new bridge to serve as a long-term solution to the region’s growing transport demands.
