“With his experience in management and litigation, I believe that he will make a difference in the LTO with the many problems and controversies being faced by the agency,” Bautista said.
“When I talked to Attorney Tugade after the announcement, we both discussed how we can better serve the DOTr. It was then that we realized that he is better suited to the LTO.”
Tugade vows to promote intensified road safety campaigns and eliminate corruption within the LTO.
“What we can assure everyone is that I am an obedient soldier. I will perform and execute tasks assigned to me with passion and efficiency,” Tugade said in a statement. “I will work closely with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista to ensure that the direction and marching order of the President of further developing transportation will be delivered.”
