Love Bus eyed back on PH roads before end of 2025
In a social media post, DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon said the implementation of this transport program would be studied in the coming weeks. The agency also released photos, showing the design of the Love Bus.
''Agad-agaran nating gagawin yung gusto ng Pangulo para sa mga kababayan nating commuter. Pag-aaralan natin ito (love bus) sa mga susunod na linggo. Hopefully bago matapos ang taon ay sinisimulan na natin as a nationwide program," Dizon said.
(We will immediately abide by what the President wants for our commuters. We will study this in the coming weeks. Hopefully, before the year ends, we're already starting this as a nationwide program.)
During his fourth State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. said the iconic Love Bus would make a comeback, which will be free for commuters.
The Love Bus was introduced in several Metro Manila routes in the 1970s and were the only air-conditioned bus during that time. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

The Jubilee of the Youth, the largest event of the Jubilee Year 2025, officially opened Wednesday with a Welcome Mass at St. Peter's Square, drawing a crowd of some 120,000 young pilgrims from around the world. Presided over by Archbishop Rino Fisichella, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, the Mass marked the beginning of a five-day celebration of faith, culture, and community in the heart of Rome. Pilgrims from 146 countries, including a large number from the Philippines, joined together in prayer and song under the hot Roman sun. In a surprise gesture that electrified the crowd, Pope Leo XIV made an unscheduled appearance at the end of the Mass. Riding in the papal jeep, he greeted the cheering pilgrims as he made a joyful loop around the square, waving and blessing the young faithful from every corner of the globe.

"You are the salt of the world! You are the light of the world!"

Highlights include reconciliation services at the Circo Massimo on August 1, where over 1,000 priests will hear confessions in multiple languages, and the much-anticipated Prayer Vigil at Tor Vergata on Saturday, August 2.
