LTO chairperson Markus Lacanilao warned that erring dealers will face consequences.

“Hindi ko rin hahayaan na patuloy na maantala ang serbisyo na dapat natatanggap ng publiko, dahil pagpapahirap ito sa ating mga motorista. Hindi natin ito kukunsintihin. Ang mga dealer na hindi sumusunod sa itinakda na regulasyon ng LTO ay papatawan ko ng preventive suspension, at kung kinakailangan, papatigilin ko ang kanilang operasyon,” he said in the same press release.

“I will not let public services be delayed because this causes inconvenience to motorists. We will not tolerate it. Dealers who do not follow regulations set by the LTO will face preventive suspension and if needed, termination of operation,” he said. /gsg
