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.
Senator determined that the aliases were being used by former DPWH assistant district engineer Brice Ericson Hernandez and former DPWH Bulacan 1st district engineer Henry Alcantara.
The use of the alleged fake licenses was disclosed in the Senate probe led by Senator Rodante Marcoleta. Lopez instructed the LTO to issue a show cause order to the concerned individuals and submit a detailed report to the committee.
