LTO orders over 200 driving schools to explain tampered computer systems

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has ordered over 200 driving schools across the country to explain the supposed tampering of their computer systems to be able to accommodate more students than they are allowed daily.

According to the LTO, show cause orders have been issued to the driving schools for several violations including uploading more theoretical and practical driving course certificates than allowed, and the issuance of such certificates even as the applicants have not yet completed the required number of hours, as reported on GMA Super Radyo dzBB.

The agency has also ordered 88 district heads that cover the over 200 driving schools to explain why they allowed the driving schools to conduct such activities, and why these have yet to be resolved.
