MANILA — Senator Raffy Tulfo has revealed that the passenger of a white SUV, bearing license plate number 7, which entered the EDSA busway and allegedly evaded authorities, is related to a senator.

“Related ito sa isang senador pero hindi ‘yung senador ‘yung sakay ng SUV na ‘yan at the time. Kamag-anak ng isang senador,” Tulfo stated in a press conference on Wednesday, November 6, 2024.

The SUV was flagged down after it entered the EDSA busway last Sunday.

Tulfo further disclosed that Orient Pacific Corporation owns the vehicle and urged the SUV passenger to come forward.

“And I know for a fact, na wala sa 24 senators namin ang involved doon sa iskandalong yun sa EDSA. Although, I also know for a fact na ito related sa isang senador.”

Earlier, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) confirmed that the license plate was fake.
