BY MAE SINGUAY AND DOMINIQUE GABRIEL BAÑAGA An arraignment hearing has been set on July 10 at 8:30 a.m. Last July 7, 2019 the Yanson 4, backed by security guards of A-Y 76 Security Specialists, Inc., took possession and control of VTI’s main office. BACOLOD City – A municipal trial court in this city issued warrants of arrest against four Yanson siblings and several others charged with grave coercion after assuming the management of Vallacar Transit, Inc. (VTI), the country’s largest bus company. Bayona, in a March 20 order, found probable cause against the so-called “Yanson 4” and several others for the takeover of VTI from incumbent president Leo Rey Yanson last year. Bayona recommended a bail of P36,000 for each of the respondents for their temporary liberty. The charge was also bailable, he added. Judge Abraham Bayona of the Municipal Trial Court Branch 7 issued warrants of arrest against Emily Yanson, Roy Yanson, Ricardo Yanson Jr., and Maria Lourdes Celina Yanson Lopez, as well as Jerica Leanne Ramos, Jerina Louise Ramos, Ma. Judy Alcala, Police General Noli Romana, and Police Colonel Jomil John Trio. Founded by the late Ricardo Yanson Sr. and wife Olivia, the 52-year old VTI is the company behind Ceres Liner, Ceres Tours, Sugbo Transit and Sugbo Tours with a fleet of 4,800 buses nationwide and 18,000 employees. However, the legal counsel of the so-called “Yanson 4” denied this. The Yanson 4’s legal counsel Carlo Joaquin Narvasa said in a statement that a hearing of a case for grave coercion was indeed conducted but he denied that a warrant of arrest was issued. Narvasa further explained that the issuance of a warrant of arrest, if any is forthcoming, does not at all detract from the presumption of innocence of the four Yanson siblings – a basic constitutional right of anyone charged in court. It provides transport services to 700,000 passengers in Bacolod City, Iloilo city and province, Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental, Cebu city and province, Cagayan de Oro City, Butuan City, Davao, Pagadian City, Dipolog City, Bohol and Batangas provinces./PN

Kelly Cross, the women’s lacrosse player who was indefinitely suspended due to a violation of team rules in late March 2015 and was not enrolled at SU in the fall, has been reinstated to the team, an SU Athletics spokeswoman confirmed Sunday evening. It was also confirmed that her indefinite suspension is over and she can play in regular season games.Cross appeared in Syracuse’s exhibition game against Team USA on Sunday, which the Orange lost, 20-8.The former starting midfielder was the driver of the car that crashed into the Mount Olympus stairwell on March 23. Four days later she was indefinitely suspended, meaning she could practice with the team, but could not play in any games or travel to away games. She did not enroll at SU for the fall semester of 2015, but is currently enrolled for the spring semester of 2016.“Kids may make mistakes, but we still stick behind them and we don’t isolate them and throw them to the curb,” head coach Gary Gait said when describing the details of the suspension on April 3.Cross had started every game for the Orange until her crash and had been fourth on the team in goals (14), assists (six) and points (20) at the time. The crash sent her to the hospital and a DPS officer said she was lucky to be alive.AdvertisementThis is placeholder textSyracuse begins its season against Loyola and Binghamton on Feb. 14 at noon and 7:30 p.m., respectively.
