00:00Breaking news, the driver of the SUV with a number 7 pecking plate passed through the EDSA busway.
00:07Let's get more details on the spot of Joseph Moro.
00:11Joseph?
00:15Rafi, the Land Transportation Office, or LTO, identified the driver and the owner of the vehicle with a number 7 pecking plate
00:22that illegally passed through the EDSA busway last Sunday.
00:26Earlier, Rafi was presented by the LTO, Angelito Edpan, who identified the driver of the luxury vehicle that was blocked by the EDSA busway.
00:36According to LTO Chief Antonio Vigor Mendoza, the vehicle was registered with the company, Orient Pacific Corporation.
00:45Edpan was also in front of the media, the lawyer and the director of the company.
00:50The employees of the company did not respond when asked why they were using a number 7 pecking plate that was only issued by the LTO to senators.
00:59Edpan's story is that they passed through the EDSA busway from Paranaque to Ortigas because his car was bad.
01:08But Edpan was not the one who was seen in the video of the DOTR-SAIC if he was not one of their companions in the company.
01:15The man who was taken in the passenger seat on the right was one of the investors he was bringing.
01:22According to Edpan, there were four of them inside the vehicle when they were caught in the EDSA busway.
01:28The company asked the owner of the vehicle where the vehicle was registered, but they rejected the name of the vehicle.
01:37They said they will just look for the record in the Securities and Exchange Commission.
01:40According to Atty. Mendoza, they are now looking for the company's record in the SEC.
01:46Edpan was called by Raffy Paglabag, who has a fine of Php 9,000.
01:53Edpan was seen in front of the media earlier.
01:56But according to the LTO, he was the only one who had an answer and none of his three companions in the vehicle.
02:04Here is the statement of Edpan.
02:06My chin hurts, sir.
02:09I was feeling a bit dizzy, sir.
02:12That's why I want to try to go there, sir.
02:21Edpan also asked the public to calm down.
02:25According to the LTO, they will still issue a show-cause order to the company.
02:29The LTO insisted that they did not make or manufacture the plate,
02:32and they did not issue the plate that Edpan used.
02:36Raffy?
02:38Those are two issues.
02:40Joseph, let's start with the driver.
02:42Did he ask if he tried to talk to the enforcers because he had an emergency?
02:47That's his reason.
02:49Did he try to talk to them so that he can solve it?
02:54He did not say that in the press conference earlier.
02:57He did not say that in the press conference earlier.
03:00He was asked if he had an intention to talk to the traffic enforcers
03:04because his vehicle was visible.
03:07He did not have that intention, Raffy.
03:09But that was his reason earlier that his chin hurts,
03:14that's why they are in a hurry to travel and they went to the bus with Raffy.
03:19That's it. If your chin really hurts,
03:22you will talk to the enforcers, right?
03:24So that you can solve it.
03:25The second is the pecking plate.
03:27The company has not yet answered, but what about the pecking plate?
03:30Did they answer that?
03:34Okay.
03:36In the pecking plate,
03:39in the liability,
03:41there is the driver.
03:43That's Php 9,000.
03:45The company will study that.
03:47The LTO will investigate that.
03:49That's why we will still have a show-cause order.
03:51So right now, the liability attaches to the driver first,
03:53but that does not preclude that the company may have a liability.
03:58Because according to the LTO, that's a pecking plate.
04:01And why does the company have a pecking plate like this?
04:04But the company does not answer why they have that
04:07and if they have a standard practice.
04:09Because they always send their VIPs, their investors.
04:13The only question is, do they know that they have seven plates in their fleet, Raffy?
04:18That's it. The driver does not have a liability there, but the owner of the vehicle.
04:21Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
