An Executive Order No. 15 series of 2020 was issued by the

were enforced mandating for public transportation operation
in a limited capacity where observance of physical distancing,
limited passenger capacity, sanitary measures were
absorbed.

In view hereof, in order to limit/regulate the public

transportation operation during the Community Quarantine,
