Passengers were elated by the resumption of motor banca trips between Iloilo and Guimaras on Aug 13, 2019. Passengers reached by Daily Guardian said they cannot stand the long hours of queuing at the roll on-roll off (RORO) wharves in Guimaras and Iloilo City to catch fast craft and RORO ships that temporarily replaced the pump boats. “Gapasalamat kita kay nagbalik na ang pagbyahe sang banca kay maibsan na ang amon pangabudlay,” Richard Galvez, 42, a native San Lorenzo, Guimaras who works in Iloilo City shared in an interview on Tuesday.
