    LTO enforcers

    The plea was issued after a driver of a colorum van in Sorsogon was arrested for attempting to bribe LTO officers at a checkpoint. The van was reportedly trying to illegally ferry 17 passengers from Northern Samar to Cubao, Quezon City.

    “The entire LTO and I laud the actions of our noble traffic enforcers for refusing to accept the alleged bribery attempt, for standing firm in enforcing the law and not being tempted by acts of corruption. They are exceptional public servants that should be emulated by everyone,” the LTO chief said.
