To provide motorists seamless service this Holy Week, the operators of the Skyway System, South Luzon Expressway and Star Tollway have launched the “2013 Lakbay Alalay Holy Week Motorist Assistance Program.”

The assistance program aims to augment the enhanced services offered by Skyway O&M Corp., Manila Expressway Systems Inc. and Star Tollway Corp.  extended to motorists during ordinary days. On top of round-the-clock roadside assistance, emergency services, deployment of additional traffic and maintenance personnel, motorists can look forward to a much safer and more comfortable travel with highway patrol groups and local police on hand for added safety and security.

With the support of Petron, motorists will enjoy free towing for Class 1 vehicles, first-aid service at selected areas on the toll ways and avail of the services of mechanics on duty and assistance in selected areas.

There will also be free radiator water and clean portalets at Petron pit stops.

From 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, until Monday, April 1 (except Friday March 29)  Lakbay Alalay volunteers manning the pit stops along the toll ways will work closely with the south toll way operators to help ease the anticipated buildup in traffic.

Motorists may also call the SLEx hotline 1348 to ask for assistance.
