TACLOBAN CITY, Nov. 26 -- After more than six months, the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Committee (RIACC) in Eastern Visayas announced that its "Libreng Sakay" (free ride) program has come to its final week as transport conditions surrounding the San Juanico Bridge continue to stabilize.

The free roll-on, roll-off (RoRo) trip initiative was introduced on June 18, 2025, a month after the enforcement of load limit restrictions on the iconic San Juanico Bridge.

The program serves as a temporary response to mobility challenges caused by transport restrictions.

According to RIACC, the program has now entered its final phase, with only 19 service trips remaining. Full operations are expected to wrap up by Nov. 30, 2025.
