It was a grim end to the year for the people involved in the Quezon City bank incident on December 29, 2023. In case you missed it, a Toyota Fortuner rammed into the Banco De Oro Novaliches-Lagro branch in Barangay Pasong Putik, Quezon City, resulting in one death and six injuries.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has now issued a show-cause order (SCO) against the driver of the vehicle and the female registered as the vehicle owner. The LTO has also ordered a 90-day preventive suspension of the driver’s license of the person operating the SUV during the incident.

The SCO now mandates the driver and the registered owner to explain in writing the details leading to the accident. The driver—identified as a resident of Baliuag, Bulacan—is also being order to explain in a notarized statement why he should not be held liable for violating Joint Administrative Order 2014-01 and Section 27-B of Republic Act No. 4136.
The order reads: “Failure to appear and submit a notarized affidavit at the above-stated time, day, and place shall be construed as a waiver to be heard and controvert the allegations against you, leaving this Office to resolve the case administratively based on the available records.”
