Transcript
00:00We have the last SUV in Edsa Busway that has a plate number 7 that is being used by senators. We have with us Atty. Greg Pua Jr., executive director of the Land Transportation Office. Good morning.
00:13Good morning, Igan. Good morning to all of your listeners.
00:17Has your response been verified that this protocol plate number 7 that was used by the last SUV that ran on Edsa Busway is fake?
00:29Igan, we were able to verify that this was not issued by the LTO. That is why this is a fake.
00:38It was not issued on the Cadillac vehicle?
00:42First, it was not issued on the Cadillac. We did not issue a number 7 protocol plate on a white Cadillac.
00:49Even the plate itself, we did not issue it.
00:53How can the public know that it is fake? Many people use it. It's easy to buy a number 7 plate.
01:01Yes. We have security features and designs that were used on the plates that we issue.
01:10We did not see it on the plate number 7 that is in the video.
01:18There are security features, codes and such?
01:21Yes.
01:22Please excuse me, Igan, if I can't say it. If we say what are our designs or security features...
01:32Maybe you can imitate it.
01:33Maybe I can imitate it.
01:36But Tony, if you look at the video, there's no conduction sticker. Is it easy to identify the owner? How is that possible?
01:46That's the challenge, Igan, if there's no conduction sticker because we cannot see a unique identification of the vehicle.
01:58But in the video, we saw something, although blurred, we saw something orange on the windshield of the driver's side.
02:11We're hoping, we're coordinating with other agencies so that they have enhanced video so that we can see the conduction sticker.
02:23Yes. Because Tony, we see a lot of big vehicles on the streets.
02:28Sometimes, there's no plate and there's no conduction sticker. Why is it blurred?
02:34The thing is, if there's a conduction sticker, because of the plaque, the conduction sticker can be moved.
02:44We can see that if it's removed or attached.
02:51We're studying that the conduction sticker is still required despite having a plate number.
03:01Okay. Tony Pua, in the record of LTO, is the owner of Cadillac Escalade expensive? How many owners does it have in the Philippines?
03:15It's just a few, Igan. Initially, we don't have 30, but we're still looking.
03:23We might not be able to type or search, so we're still looking if that's the number or not.
03:31Those are the ones registered?
03:34Yes. That's right, Igan.
03:36There are also smuggled ones, right?
03:39Yes. If it's not registered, we can't check it.
03:44If that's the number, it's easy for us to find out. With the public's help, you might be able to find that vehicle.
03:54Yes. We're asking for help from the public. If you know who owns it, or if you know,
04:03if you're next to your neighbor, please let us know so we can issue a show cost.
04:12So until now, there's no identity because on social media, there's a billionaire businessman claiming that he owns it.
04:22You also have a record in LTO. Please confirm, you haven't been charged yet?
04:27Not yet, Igan.
04:28Social media is really difficult.
04:31Good luck Tony Pua. Be careful. LTO Executive Director, Tony Greg Pua Jr.
04:35Thank you Igan.
