Roque Verzosa III, director of the LTO-National Capital Region, said the problems are now being addressed by newly-appointed LTO chief lawyer Hector A. Villacorta who replaced JayArt Tugade after the latter’s resignation that took effect on June 1.
“We are now working together to address issues and challenges encountered by the transport sector. We are now collaborating to find solutions that aim to ensure an accessible, affordable, comfortable, and safe travel experience for the riding public,” said Verzosa. President Marcos has appointed Villacorta, who is concurrently the DOTr Assistant Secretary for Communications and Commuter Affairs.
DOTr Assistant Secretary Jaime Bautista earlier said that Villacorta’s appointment was ad interim one, as the decision of the President regarding the permanent appointment of the LTO's leader is still pending. The LTO is now the subject of criticisms over the issuance of paper driver’s license that stemmed from the delay in the procurement of plastic cards. Critics are also lambasting the LTO over the delay in the release of license plates.
