At least 205 driving schools are facing closure while 88 local officials of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) are in hot water over various anomalies, including the issuance of theoretical and practical driving certificates without applicants appearing before authorities.
This was amid the aggressive crackdown against those involved in illegal activities in the agency.
LTO chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza said the 88 heads of the agency's district offices will be issued with Notices to Explain (NTEs) why they either tolerated or did not act on the anomalies involving the driving schools within their respective areas of responsibility.
