Baliwag Transit is the one of the major bus company in the Philippines with offices and terminals in various parts of Luzon that mainly services routes to and from Metro Manila and Central Luzon. It is named after the town of Baliwag (now a city), where it originated.
History
Baliwag Transit, Inc. was established by the late Maria Victoria Santiago Vda. de Tengco (popularly known in Baliwag as "Viuda" or "Nanay"), a native of Baliwag and Hagonoy, Bulacan. Prior to the establishment of the bus company in the 1960s, she had a hat business in Baliwag, this becoming the source of the logo of the bus company. The company grew as years went by and became a member of the Baliwag Group of Companies. The children and grandchildren of Doña Victoria continue to manage the company and is currently presided by her eldest son, Joselito S. Tengco.
