Bus company in the Philippines
Victory Liner, Inc. (VLI) is a bus company in the Philippines that was established in 1945 by José Hernandez, is recognized as one of the primary providers of bus transportation in the Philippines , servicing key locations across Luzon .[2] post-WWII demand for public transport.[3]
Over the years, Victory Liner has strategically grown its operations, upgrading its fleet and expanding service routes to meet the evolving needs of travelers. Today, it operates a comprehensive network that connects Central and Northern Luzon provinces, such as Zambales , Pampanga , Bulacan , Benguet (Baguio City) , Pangasinan , Bataan , Nueva Vizcaya , Kalinga , Isabela , Nueva Ecija , and Cagayan .[4]
Victory Liner deploys more than 1,000 buses in its daily operations.[1] [5]
Etymology
[ edit ]
The name "Victory Liner" draws its inspiration from the post-World War II era sentiment. In the 1940s, the term "Victory Joe," a nod to America's victory, resonated widely within the Philippines. José Hernandez, correlating his first name "Jose" with the English equivalent "Joe," deemed "Victory Liner" an apt and evocative name for his emerging transport business. [2]
This naming choice coincided with the company's early expansion, incorporating a team that included Hernandez as a driver-mechanic and Angel Mangahas in a similar role, with Leonardo D. Trinidad (a brother-in-law) as the conductor, Santiago Crisostomo as the mechanic, and Marta, Hernandez's wife, overseeing finances. Subsequently, Eugenio D. Trinidad, another brother-in-law, joined as a helper-conductor, contributing to the growing family operation. [3]
History
[ edit ]
Victory Liner's beginnings trace back from the years of Japanese occupation in the country . Jose I. Hernandez, a mechanic from Macabebe, Pampanga , collected bits and pieces of machinery, metals and spare parts from abandoned United States Armed Forces vehicles, intending to build a delivery truck from scratch for his family's resale business of rice, corn, vegetables and their home-made laundry soap. Upon completion of the truck, he was surprised to see that what he envisioned to be a delivery truck turned out to be more like a bus.[6]
On October 15, 1945, Mr. Hernandez's first bus plied the Manila –Olongapo –Manila line. He was the driver and Leonardo D. Trinidad (a brother-in-law) was his conductor.[7] [when? , the Hernandezes incorporated the business and Victory Liner became one of the main transport modes to shuttle passengers and goods to and from Manila and the provinces of Bulacan , Pampanga , Bataan , Zambales , Pangasinan , La Union , Tarlac , Benguet , Nueva Ecija , Nueva Vizcaya , Isabela , Cagayan , Apayao , and Kalinga .[8]
In 2007, Victory Liner introduced its deluxe class for its Baguio and Cagayan Valley services.[9] [10]
In 2011, Victory Liner initially equipped 50 air-conditioned buses with Sun Cellular Wireless Broadband to allow passengers with Wi-Fi-capable devices to log on to the Internet.[11]
In April 2012, Victory Liner partnered with AirAsia Philippines to provide shuttle service for inbound and outbound passengers of Clark International Airport .[12]
In August 2023, Victory Liner classified its bus services as "Express" (via Expressway) and "Inner Cities" (via provincial towns) to make simplified travel choices for the passengers.[13]
The launching of Victory Liner's Royal Class attracted popular demand, causing some trips of the sleeper bus to be sold out.
On October 13, 2023, during the 78th anniversary event of Victory Liner, the bus company launched its Royal Class sleeper bus for its Baguio, Tabuk , and Tuguegarao services.[14] Volvo , with Thaco assmebling the structural body.[15] [16] [17] Baguio .[18]
