Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Vigor Mendoza II on Thursday disclosed that a district office head in Bulacan, along with two other agency personnel, are being investigated for supposed involvement in illegal transactions with fixers.
He vowed that any agency official or employee who would be found to be colluding with fixers shall be dealt with accordingly.
Mendoza warned that severe administrative sanctions are awaiting erring personnel, who are at risk of losing their job.
“On the very first day of my assumption as LTO chief, I made it clear that I will be running after all the fixers and their cohorts in our agency. We will not allow these people to taint the name of our agency for their money-making schemes,” he said.
According to the LTO chief, on Sept. 24, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested a certain Michael Mendoza in Bulacan and confronted the LTO district office head, together with two employees, for alleged negligence to get rid of fixers inside the LTO office.
He, however, did not reveal the identity of the district office head and his exact area of jurisdiction.
