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.
