5 Bohol LTO men sacked for manhandling rider
The Philippine Star
|March 04, 2025
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon yesterday announced the dismissal of five Land Transportation Office (LTO) enforcers for harassing a motorcycle driver they caught carrying a bladed weapon in Panglao, Bohol on Friday.
"We are the people's servants, not their lords. In that context, I would like to announce in behalf of the DOTr (Department of Transportation) and the LTO that effective today, we are dismissing the law enforcers involved in the incident in Panglao," Dizon said at a press conference.
The incident sparked outrage on social media after a netizen uploaded a video showing five LTO men dragging the rider, identified only as 57-year-old Mang Bert, off his motorcycle. Bert reportedly identified himself as a farmer and that he uses the knife when working in his farm.
Dizon stressed that he would not tolerate such behavior from government employees.
