 “This should serve as a warning to the drivers and operators of these colorum vehicles to stop their illegal activities,” Mendoza said in Filipino.

“Our roadworthiness inspections will continue since the Undas and barangay elections are approaching, as we expect the influx of our kababayans to return to their respective provinces,” he added.
