THE Department of Transportation (DOTr) has ordered the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to summon two engineers from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) over the use of alleged fake driver’s licenses to enter casinos, as revealed in the ongoing Senate investigation on flood control projects.
Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez immediately tasked the LTO to verify the authenticity of the driver’s licenses presented during the Senate probe.
Based on LTO’s investigation, there are no licenses issued under the names of Marvin Santos De Guzman and Joseph Castro Villegas, the aliases used by the two DPWH engineers present in the hearing.
The LTO has been instructed to issue a Show Cause Order to the involved personalities, and to submit a report to the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, chaired by Senator Rodante Marcoleta.
The DOTr reiterates its commitment to uphold integrity and accountability in all its attached agencies and assures the public of its support for any investigation requiring its assistance.
