Saulog Transit Inc. is one of the provincial bus company in the Philippines. It is under management of its parent, Genesis Transport servicing routes between Metro Manila, Cavite and Central Luzon.
Etymology
Saulog Transit was named after its founder, the late Eliseo Basa Saulog. Eliseo was called Sayong by those close to him and Don Eliseo to everyone else. His wife was the pride of Malagasang 1st, Imus, Cavite, Philippines no other than Nieves Arguelles. They had nine children as follows: Ignacio, Luciano, Teodoro, Virginia, Dr. Melquiades, Ruben, Maura Saulog-Aguinaldo, Lilia Saulog-Venturina and Dr. Marietta Saulog-Vergara.
History
The company started operation in 1946 with orange yellow, silver, and dark green bus paint designs. In 1974, Saulog Transit Inc. acquired the franchise of Villarey Transit, which it used to operate its sister company, Dagupan Bus Company initially with only six Mitsubishi Fuso buses as part of its expansion in Northern Luzon.
Issues and controversies
Due to some complaints made by some Manilan commuters regarding the entering of provincial buses from Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Quezon provinces, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim issued a memorandum known as Executive Order 13, prohibiting all provincial buses from Southern Tagalog region to enter Manila except for some cases like those coming from Northern Luzon, Bicol Region or Visayas. Another scenario also happened for the second time during Lim's second term as mayor, just to decongest traffic along Taft Avenue.[1] The company also has been accused of breaking municipal rules by picking up passengers at stops other that its designated terminals.
The Quezon City Regional Trial Court issued the writ of preliminary injunction against the Saulog group of companies who attempted to sell their stocks to other bus companies.[2]
Another controversy regarding Saulog Transit and Dagupan Bus Company was that a conflict sparked between the Saulog stakeholders after the assassinations of their ancestors. Eliseo Saulog, the founder of Saulog Transit and father of the Saulog brothers and sisters, Ignacio Saulog, Luciano Saulog, Teodoro Saulog, Virginia Saulog, Dr. Melquiades Saulog, Ruben Saulog, Maura Saulog-Aguinaldo, Lilia Saulog-Venturina, and Dr. Marietta Saulog-Vergara, was shot and killed in 1960 by an unidentified gunman, while the family patriarch, Ruben Saulog, father of the current chief executive and one of the eight children of the founder, was also assassinated in 1990. Until then, the case of such killings are still uncertain and unresolved. The attempts to sell the two companies were assured by the lawyer Bernard Saulog, who got 75% of the total P1.4 B assets, while 25% of the remaining assets were given to the rest of the clan members. Teodoro Saulog and his clan members refused to give up Saulog Transit and Dagupan Bus Company[3]
It was in 2010 when Saulog Transit and Genesis Transport signed a memorandum of agreement for the long-time cooperation and allocation of the franchise of the former. Genesis Transport answered all of its assets of Saulog Transit when it was found out that the Saulog clan was unable to shoulder all of the annual contributions to SSS, Pag-ibig and PhilHealth. Hence, Saulog Transit and Dagupan Bus Company acquired new bus units.
