MANILA (UPDATED) -- Fifteen buses of Florida Transport Inc. have been suspended after a video that showed six of the units speeding along a national highway went viral.Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announced the development on Tuesday, noting that the buses plying the Santa Ana to Sampaloc and the Baguio to Apayao routes are suspended for a minimum of 30 days beginning Wednesday, June 11.The video, posted by Carlo Carbonel, showed six buses of Florida Transport apparently racing along the national highway from Diadi, Nueva Vizcaya towards Cordon, Isabela early morning on Sunday, June 8.&quot;As of today, suspended &#x27;yung 15 bus na nagpa-ply doon sa rutang Santa Ana to Sampaloc sa Cagayan, at &#x27;yung Baguio to Apayao. Magtatakaka kayo, bakit kasama &#x27;yung Baguio to Apayao? Dahil isa doon sa mga bus na nakipagkarerahan sa national highway papuntang Cagayan Valley ay out of line. Ang rota niya ay Baguio-Carmen. Apayao-Carmen. Ang layo noon,&quot; said Dizon. &quot;So pati &#x27;yung rutang &#x27;yun, suspendido [for] 30 days. Minimum, 30 days, as of tomorrow,&quot; he added.The drivers of the six buses will also have their licenses suspended for 90 days. All buses of Florida Transport Inc. will also undergo mandatory drug testing, according to Dizon. In a statement, Florida Transport Inc. expressed its apologies about the incident, saying: &quot;The content does not align with our company&#x27;s values and standards. We are currently addressing the matter internally, and we assure the public that the safety and well-being of our passengers is our top priority.&quot;But Dizon dismissed their apology and said that he has asked Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) Chairman Teofilo Guadiz III to seek the &quot;maximum penalties&quot; against the bus company.&quot;Hindi porke&#x27;t walang nasaktan, walang na-disgrasya ay ganoon-ganoon na lang,&quot; said Dizon.According to Guadiz, all units of GV Florida Transport Inc need to undergo a road worthiness test, which may result in more buses being suspended.&quot;Puwede hong madagdagan yun, kasi pa-ro-road worthiness natin lahat ng bus ng Florida,&quot; he said. &quot;&#x27;Pag may mga buses na hindi road worthy, hindi muna namin pabiiyahihin.  So it could be more than 15.&quot;The Land Transportation Office has scheduled a hearing on June 13 for the bus drivers involved in the incident. The LTFRB, meanwhile, will meet with the bus company on June 25.<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>
