00:00The driver of the SUV with plate number 7 who passed through EDSA busway tried to go to the Lancer Transportation Office.
00:08He explained that he saw his Tian so he tried to go through the busway.
00:13We have first news, Joseph Morong.
00:17Sir, just a moment. Sir, I'm just going to verify you.
00:22Sir, I have a license, a driver's license.
00:27I'm going now.
00:29Oh my God, really?
00:32On Sunday night, he passed through the northbound lane before the Guadalupe Station of the EDSA bus carousel,
00:38the luxury vehicle that can go through this escalator even if it's prohibited.
00:42He faced and explained to the Lancer Transportation Office the driver who was hit by the enforcer.
00:48I thought, sir, that I wouldn't be able to get in because I was in a hurry, sir.
00:53My Tian was hurting, sir. I was feeling well, sir.
00:58That's why I wanted to try to go through, sir.
01:02The LTO arrested him and fined him a total of Php 9,000.
01:06He also faced several violations such as disregarding traffic signs due to entering the busway and illegal use of protocol plate.
01:14Number 7, he used a plate on the vehicle that should only be used as a senator.
01:18But according to the LTO, the plate is fake.
01:21They won't admit it.
01:22Fake in the sense that it is not legitimate, in the sense that it's an LTO issue.
01:27You can't do it.
01:28We can't do it.
01:30The LTO also said that the vehicle was registered with the company Orient Pacific Corporation.
01:35We cannot confirm. The names of the directors and stockholders may be found in the SEC.
01:43It's a public record.
01:44Right now, we are not authorized to divulge their names due to their rights and privacy.
01:50They cannot explain why they used the plate number 7.
01:54The driver confirmed that they were four passengers in a luxury vehicle.
01:57He was not seen in the video, but his side was seen in the front.
02:01The man sitting at the back was one of the investors that they will bring.
02:06The company sincerely apologizes for what happened.
02:09We didn't want that. Rest assured, we will cooperate with the investigation.
02:18According to the Land Transportation Office or LTO,
02:21the drivers are the only ones who are caught in the Elza busway.
02:24They are the ones who are being tagged and are being held accountable, not the drivers.
02:29But the company Orient Pacific was not satisfied because the LTO will issue a show-cause order
02:34to investigate the increased violation of the driver and the owner of the vehicle.
02:39The LTO will also ask the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC for their information sheet.
02:45According to a copy obtained by GMA Integrated News Research,
02:48it can be seen that the president of the Orient Pacific Corporation is Kenneth T. Gatchalian,
02:53former congressman and brother of Senator Wynne Gatchalian.
02:56We are asking for his signature.
02:59But one day, Senator Gatchalian said that he doesn't have a white Cadillac Escalade.
03:11This is the first news, Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
