00:00Senator Wynne Gatchalian refused to answer if his brother owns a car with a plate number for a senator,

00:08while saying that the issue should be left to the LTO.

00:13This was even recorded in the company run by his brother, Joseph Morong.

00:21In the CCTV footage of the MMDA, the controversial white luxury vehicle was seen

00:28on Sunday night in the northbound lane of the Elza Bus Carousel.

00:31This is the SUV with a protocol plate number 7 for a senator,

00:34which entered the Elza Busway while being blocked by enforcers.

00:38According to the driver of the car, he was in a hurry,

00:42but you can see in the video that there was traffic and not traffic at that time.

00:47In front of the driver in the Land Transportation Office yesterday,

00:51the vehicle came out and was registered in the company Orien Pacific Corporation,

00:55the company run by Kenneth Tan Gatchalian,

00:58who is a congressman in Valenzuela.

01:01His brother is Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.

01:03Is that your brother or your brother's car?

01:06The documents are already in the LTO.

01:09So, let's just leave it in the LTO.

01:11Is it possible that you have the plate, but your brother used it?

01:15Let's just leave it in the LTO guys.

01:18In an interview, Gatchalian said that he did not consent to the traffic violation

01:22of the Orien Pacific Corporation.

01:25The driver was fined P1,000.

01:28But Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista said that they are investigating the incident

01:33to find out if there is additional punishment.

01:36Senator Rafi Tulfo, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Services,

01:39plans to call for a hearing on the issue.

01:42And I heard that the violator,

01:45after he parked in Guadalupe,

01:50after a few meters, he returned to the bus lane.

01:53This person is very stubborn.

01:57EDSA busways are not being stolen or damaged

02:00by those who want to escape the traffic in EDSA.

02:02That's why the DOTR is thinking of reducing the protocol plates

02:06issued to government officials.

02:08Bautista said that there are two protocol plates issued by the LTO to each senator as of now.

02:13The plate is to be used only by the official.

02:21Although the only ones allowed on the busway are the President,

02:25Vice President, Senate President, Speaker, and Supreme Court Chief Justice.

02:30It's the decision of the SP. I think the SP will know the best.

02:35The Department of Transportation has also considered

02:38to reverse the course of the EDSA bus carousel.

02:41For example, instead of accompanying the EDSA bus carousel

02:44to the northbound vehicles,

02:46it will do it to the south.

02:49This is to prevent the carousel from being damaged.

02:53So that the busway is really exclusive for the buses,

02:58for public utility vehicles.

03:00And the bus door is on the right side.

03:03So there are safety considerations.

03:08It's easier.

03:09Why?

03:10So that people won't have a hard time getting on.

03:12If it's directed, the passengers won't have a hard time.

03:17They are talking to the companies operating on the busway

03:20and it may be a decision to continue this before the year ends.

03:24For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,

03:27for Tutok 24 Horas.

03:33.
