The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the operations of 107 driving schools across Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and the National Capital Region for multiple violations, including the failure to conduct proper theoretical driving lessons.
“We caught them and conducted an audit trail in various regions nationwide,” LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II said in a media briefing. “There is no escaping now. The instruction is strict—from Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.”
The most common offense among the suspended schools was the “no-show” practice, where students are certified without actual attendance or training.
Separately, the LTO has also suspended the accreditation of Cebu Titan Supplies for 90 days, following its alleged involvement in the illegal importation of right-hand drive vehicles uncovered during a raid in Quezon City.
“We already issued an order for preventive suspension amid the ongoing investigation. We want to ferret out the truth and ensure due process,” Mendoza said.
