Yanson bus firm owner denies rumors she is dead

BACOLOD CITY—The matriarch of the family that owns the biggest bus company in the country has denied rumors that she had passed away.

“I’m not dead, I am very much alive and healthy,” said Olivia Yanson of the Yanson Group Bus of Companies on Sunday, July 4.

“Tell those people who want me dead, I love the Lord, and He will not let me die because I still have a mission in this world to help others,” she added.

Yanson, 87, said she lives in Makati City, and doctors told her that she is healthy.

“Tell the people of Bacolod I feel healthy, I am taking care of myself. I am strong,” Yanson said.

She said she was staying in Makati for now because there are lots of COVID-19 cases in Bacolod.
