MANILA — Senate President Chiz Escudero has called on the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to identify the owner of the vehicle with plate number 7 that was used in the EDSA busway.

“The actions of the driver or passenger are unacceptable,” Escudero stated in a release on Monday, November 4, 2024.

He emphasized, “I urge the LTO to identify the owner of the vehicle and to inform the Senate as soon as possible.”

Plate number 7 is designated for senators.

Escudero indicated that if the individual is a senator, they should face appropriate consequences.

“If the owner is indeed a member of the Senate, I expect them to come forward and ensure that those responsible for driving the vehicle acknowledge their actions and present themselves to the authorities,” the Senate chief concluded.
