TARLAKENYO (May 7, 2024) — The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has launched ‘Aksyon on the Spot’ hotline that will receive complaints against erring motorists.
The hotline will also receive reports from the public on online scammers that impersonate the agency in sending fake traffic violations.
Aksyon on the Spot encourages road users to send an SMS to 09292920865 if they cross paths with abusive or erring motorists on the road or LTO impersonators.
According to LTO Chief and Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II, the hotline will not only cater to phishing scams but also to abusive and erring motorists on the roads.
“Sa pamamagitan ng ating hotline, mabilis na matutugunan ng inyong LTO ang mga reklamo ng ating mga kababayan laban sa mga online scammers at mga pasaway na motorista,” said Mendoza.
“Kaya mula sa mga simpleng mga paglabag sa batas trapiko hanggang sa road rage at maging ang paggamit ng wang-wang na mahigpit na ipinagbabawal ngayon ng ating Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. under the Bagong Pilipinas, makakaasa ang ating mga kababayan ng mabilis na tugon mula sa inyong LTO, mula sa inyong pamahalaan,” he added.
The LTO will coordinate with other law enforcement agencies to strengthen the enforcement that will be received through the Aksyon on the Spot hotline.
The LTO chief also assures the public that reports will be treated with confidentiality.
“Tinitiyak namin sa ating mga kababayan na anumang impormasyon na ibibigay sa atin sa pamamagitan ng ating hotline ay ituturing na confidential at protektado ng ating Data Privacy law,” Mendoza said.
