LTO suspends Niño Muhlach’s license for 2 years
MANILA, Philippines — Movie actor Niño Muhlach is not allowed to drive a motor vehicle for two years after the Land Transportation Office (LTO) suspended his license in connection with a road accident in Antipolo, Rizal.
Investigation conducted by the LTO showed that Muhlach suffered from extreme fatigue, causing him to lose control of the wheel along Marcos Highway on Aug. 23.
The vehicle crashed into a row of commercial establishments and a motorcycle parked along the road before hitting a pedestrian.
The LTO found Muhlach liable for reckless driving and declared him an “improper person to operate a motor vehicle.”
Earlier, Muhlach admitted that he was the one driving the vehicle and acknowledged liability for the incident.
The LTO said Muhlach’s vehicle would remain under “alarm status to ensure enforcement of penalty and to prevent any transactions involving it while the resolution is in effect.”
“The LTO is serious about enforcing traffic laws, especially regarding violations that could endanger other road users,” LTO chief Markus Lacalinao said.
“We will impose appropriate penalties based on the results of the investigation and hearing, regardless of a person’s status,” Lacanilao added.
The agency said it strictly enforces road laws and regulations to safeguard the safety of all motorists and road users.
Motorists have been urged to practice responsible driving and follow rules to prevent accidents that could result in loss of life or damage to property.
