Aileen Lizada said Leomarick Bus will be suspended to prevent another bus unit from traveling.&quot;We will be issuing a preventive suspension order. Initially, it will last for 30 days po para hindi po makabiyahe &#x27;yung isang bus nilang naiiwan,&quot; Lizada told DZMM.According to Lizada, Leomarick Bus is operated by a certain Leonardo Patulot. It has trips from Bangued, Abra to Ilagan, Isabela and vice versa.She said the bus involved in the accident was not out of line.&quot;Hindi siya out of line, he&#x27;s within his route po, &#x27;yung bus na &#x27;yan. Hindi ho siya colorum,&quot; Lizada said.LTFRB will also look into the background of Leomarick to see if any of its buses have previously been involved in an accident.&quot;We need to look into the background of Leomarick,&quot; Lizada said.The agency will also look into the age of the bus, as well as other factors which led to the accident.&quot;Madali hong magblame lang ng human error, pero the other side of the coin is how old is the bus? Kasi wala hong say &#x27;yung driver doon sa minamaneho niya. If there&#x27;s faulty break, kahit gaano kagaling ang driver natin, kung faulty ang break, mahirap po talaga &#x27;yun,&quot; Lizada said.&quot;Sa overloading, hindi naman ho call ng driver &#x27;yun. Depende po &#x27;yun sa operator, depende sa dispatcher, bakit po pinasakay. So marami hong anggulo na kailangang i-thresh out sa hearing,&quot; she added.At least 26 people were killed after a Leomarick bus fell into a ravine in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija.Twenty-one others were reported injured.<ul class="op-related-articles" title="">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/18/17/bus-nahulog-sa-bangin-sa-nueva-ecija-26-patay">Bus nahulog sa bangin sa Nueva Ecija, 26 patay </a></li></ul>
