Philtranco Service Enterprises, Inc. (/fɪltrɑːnkoʊ/, Tagalog: [pilˈtɾaŋkɔ]; Philippine Transportation Company) is a bus company in the Philippines, servicing routes to Bicol, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Davao Region, and Northern Mindanao.
It is the oldest bus operator in the Philippines and in Asia.
[1][2][3] It is also the only bus carrier with a nationwide public transport franchise.
Mr. Ammen's venture into the transport business had become so successful that soon he expanded his fleet to service the other towns of Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Albay and Sorsogon.
ALATCO became the principal carrier in the Bicol region, inaugurating highway travel that was to open remote villages in the Bicolandia, to the mainstream of economic and social development.
