MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has directed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to summon two engineers from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) who allegedly used fake driver’s licenses to gain entry to casinos.
Acting Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez issued the order after the matter surfaced during the investigation of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee of questionable flood control projects.
According to the LTO, no licenses were issued under the names Marvin Santos De Guzman and Joseph Castro Villegas.
