MEDIA STATEMENT
ON THE ILLEGAL ENTRY OF A WHITE TOYOTA FORTUNER
The Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) is one with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) in ensuring the safety and efficiency of the country’s transport systems as well as upholding road safety and accountability.
We shall work closely with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) once we receive the Show Cause Order, about the illegal entry to the EDSA Carousel Busway of a white Toyota Fortuner with a red plate allegedly registered to DBP.
Based on our records, the DBP has never owned nor maintained a white Toyota Fortuner that matches the description in the publicized reports of DOTr Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation. Moreover, the original plate in question remains in the possession of DBP.
Rest assured that DBP will extend its full cooperation to transport authorities to prevent a recurrence of this incident and to ensure that the personalities will be held accountable.
