BACOLOD CITY – “Settle your differences.”This was the appeal of union leaders to the Yanson family amid a feud over control of the multi-billion peso transportation empire. De la Cruz and seven other union leaders from Visayas and Mindanao, in a press conference in Bacolod City, pledged their support to Leo Rey Yanson, whom they acknowledged as the legitimate president of the Yanson bus firms. The battle of the Bacolod-based Yanson siblings for control of the family’s multi-billion peso transportation business escalated on Sunday. In a separate press statement, Leo Rey said he did not recognize the “illegal actions” of his siblings Roy, Emily and Ricardo Yanson, and Ma. ADVERTISEMENT“The removal was done only through a special meeting of which the election/removal of the president was not even included in the agenda,” Leo Rey said.
