The Land Transportation Office (LTO) apprehended 7,252 motor vehicles in February.

“Patuloy ang ating agresibong operayon kaya muli ay nanawagan tayo sa mga delinquent motor vehicles na huwag ng hintayin na mahuli pa kayo dahil mas malaki ang babayaran ninyo at baka-maimpound pa ang mga sasakyan ninyo,” LTO chief Vigor Mendoza said in a statement on Friday, March 1.

Mendoza added that the crackdown against delinquent, unregistered motor vehicles coincides with the agency’s intensified campaign against colorum vehicles.

LTO reports showed that 243 vehicles were apprehended for picking up passengers without the necessary permits and documents from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).

“Let this serve as a stern warning to both the delinquent motor vehicle owners that we will continue with this operation because this involves road safety and your obligation that comes with motor vehicle ownership,” the LTO chief said.

“The same warning goes to operators and drivers of colorum vehicles. Marami na taying nakasuhan dito at hindi kami titigil until such time that you are held accountable for your illegal activities,” he added.
