Mindanao Star, Incorporated (formerly Weena Express and People's Transport Corporation) is a bus line under Bachelor Express, part of Vallacar Transit Incorporated. It is based in Cotabato City. It operates bus transport services in Cotabato City, Maguindanao and North Cotabato.

History

Weena Express was established in 1980 by its owner Mr. Bernardo "Digoy" M. Valdevieso. It pioneered bus services between Davao City and Cotabato City. It also has a sister company, named People's Transport Corporation, plying the same route.

Between 2002 and 2008, the bus line suffered bombings due to extortion attempts, which led to the company having financial problems. As early as 2007, Valdevieso already expressed his intent of selling the company to potential buyers.^[1]

Finally, in January 7, 2015, the company was sold to Bachelor Express Incorporated, although it has yet to notify the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board of its sale.^[2] The company is expected to be renamed as Mindanao Star soon.
