Victory Liner, Inc. is one of the largest provincial bus companies operating in the Philippines, servicing routes mainly in cities of Baguio & Tabuk and the provinces of Zambales, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union Cagayan, Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. This bus company played a major role in transport industry since it became the product of Japanese occupation in the country after World War II.
Today, Victory Liner, Inc. has grown as one of the largest bus transportation business groups in the Philippines, servicing all key destinations in Northern and Central Luzon. As of today, Victory Liner deploys more than 900 buses in its daily operations. It is a sister company of Five Star.
The company was founded by Mr. Jose Hernandez. Its beginnings trace back from the years of Japanese occupation in the country. The phrase "Victory Joe", reminiscent of America's victory in the World War II became a household word way back then, Mr. Hernandez decided to coin out the name of his bus firm from it, and so became Victory Liner.
Mr. Jose I. Hernandez, a pre-war mechanic, had collected bits and pieces of machinery, metals and spare parts from abandoned U.S. Military vehicles intending to build a delivery truck from scratch for his family's buy-and-sell business of rice, corn, vegetables and their home-made laundry soap. Upon completion of the truck, he was surprised to see that what he envisioned to be a delivery truck turned out to be more like a bus.
On October 15, 1945, Mr. Hernandez's first bus plied the Manila-Olongapo-Manila line. He was the driver and Leonardo D. Trinidad (a brother-in-law) was his conductor.
