Group Presses Ouster of LTO Chief

A group is moving to oust Vigor D. Mendoza II as chief of the Land Transportation Office for allegedly allowing anomalous transactions to happen at the LTO using the previous outdated LTO-IT system.

The group calling themselves the Coalition for Good Government issued a statement asking President Bongbong Marcos to fire Mendoza, calling into question why registration and computer fees were increased also using the old LTO-IT system.

Among members of the group who signed the statement were Diolito N. Inosanto, president of FELTOP; Augosto C. Lagman, AAP Board Member; and Martin Delos Angeles, vice president of the Philippine Transport Monitor.

Under Mendoza more anomalous registration of vehicles without insurance policies or with fake insurance and no proper inspection happened at the LTO, the group alleged.

Another group had earlier published a notice in newspapers seeking Mendoza's ouster for alleged "acts inimical and prejudicial to the motoring public and to the Philippine Government."

The notice was signed by Diolito N. Inosanto, president of FELTOP; Jun Rustico S. Braga, founding president of Konsumo Pinas; Jay Ar Tumulac, secretary general of Magtulungan Tayo; Martin delos Angeles, vice president of Philippine Transport Monitor; Dangel Charlene A. Tabin, president of Samahan ng Kabataan Para sa Kabuluhang Pagbabago; and Ma. Rosebel Luz, vice chair of Kamalaya Consumer Cooperative.

Will the President heed the call for Mendoza's ouster? So far there's no indication he will. No indication also if the call for his ouster is affecting Mendoza in the performance of his duties as head of the LTO.
