hot646 LTO probing officer for alleged fraudulent registration of truck

MANILAhot646, Philippines — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Wednesday said one of its district heads in Metro Manila is being investigated over the alleged fraudulent registration of a truck involved in a fatal accident in Parañaque City.

According to the LTO in a statement, the probe stemmed from an incident at the Skyway At-Grade Southbound, Barangay Sun Valley on Dec. 6 that left one person dead and five others injured after a truck experienced a sudden brake malfunction that led to a chain of collisions involving multiple vehicles.

“We want to have a clear explanation from the LTO officer involved, under the concept of command responsibility, as to why the truck was able to register without the necessary road-worthiness inspection,” said LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II, who gave the order.

In the letter, the LTO officer was given five days to explain why no administrative action shall be initiated for violating the 2017 Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (RACCS).

“Failure on your part to submit the required explanation within a specified period shall be construed as a waiver on your part to controvert the issues raised against you and the case shall be decided on the basis of evidence at hand,” the letter read.
