LTO, PNP AND PCG, ASSISTED IN ANTI-FIXING OPERATION IN PASAY; NINE SUSPECTED FIXERS, ARRESTED

As part of the ongoing campaign against fixers and other illegal activities in and around Land Transportation Office (LTO) offices, nine individuals suspected to be involved in illegal fixing activities were caught in the anti-fixing operation conducted by LTO personnel Field Enforcement Division-Law Enforcement Service (FED-LES), partner with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), around the LTO Pasay District Office this Thursday, June 4.

After the operation, the arrested individuals were brought to Pasay City Police Station for the filing of relevant cases.

The LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Markus V praised him. Lacanilao, the successful coordination of law enforcement agencies that became the key in catching the suspected fixers.

“We will continue to intensify our campaign against fixers who undermine the integrity of government services and exploit our countrymen. We will not condone any kind of fixing inside and around LTO offices. With the help of our partner agencies, our operations will be more aggressive to hold those who violate the law accountable," said Lacanilao.

The LTO once again reminded the public not to transact with fixers and only go through legitimate processes of the agency. The agency stressed that all LTO transactions can be done through prescribed processes without needing the help of fixers.

𝐋𝐓𝐎, 𝐏𝐍𝐏 𝐀𝐓 𝐏𝐂𝐆, 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐓𝐔𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐀 𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈-𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐀 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐀𝐘; 𝐒𝐈𝐘𝐀𝐌 𝐍𝐀 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐇𝐈𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐈𝐗𝐄𝐑𝐒, 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐎

Bilang bahagi ng patuloy na kampanya laban sa mga fixer at iba pang ilegal na gawain sa loob at paligid ng mga tanggapan ng Land Transportation Office (LTO), siyam na indibidwal na pinaghihinalaang sangkot sa ilegal na fixing activities ang nahuli sa isinagawang anti-fixing operation ng mga tauhan ng LTO Field Enforcement Division-Law Enforcement Service (FED-LES), katuwang ang Philippine National Police (PNP) at Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), sa paligid ng LTO Pasay District Office nitong Huwebes, Hunyo 4.

Matapos ang operasyon, dinala ang mga nahuling indibidwal sa Pasay City Police Station para sa pagsasampa ng mga naaangkop na kaso.

Pinuri naman ni LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao, ang matagumpay na koordinasyon ng mga law enforcement agencies na naging susi sa pagkakahuli ng mga pinaghihinalaang fixer.

“Patuloy nating paiigtingin ang ating kampanya laban sa mga fixer na sumisira sa integridad ng serbisyo ng pamahalaan at nananamantala sa ating mga kababayan. Hindi natin kukunsintihin ang anumang uri ng fixing sa loob at paligid ng mga tanggapan ng LTO. Sa tulong ng ating mga partner agencies, mas magiging agresibo ang ating mga operasyon upang mapanagot ang mga lumalabag sa batas,” ani Lacanilao.

Muli ring pinaalalahanan ng LTO ang publiko na huwag makipagtransaksyon sa mga fixer at dumaan lamang sa mga lehitimong proseso ng ahensya. Binigyang-diin ng ahensya na ang lahat ng transaksyon sa LTO ay maaaring gawin sa pamamagitan ng mga itinakdang proseso nang hindi nangangailangan ng tulong ng mga fixer.

The Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) is again warning the public against sophisticated syndicates that are luring Filipinos with promises of jobs abroad, only to forcibly conscript them into foreign military service.

Anti-trafficking authorities released the joint advisory following an emergency case conference triggered by a specific complaint of Filipinos being trafficked under false pretenses.

According to reports from the 1343 Actionline, the IACAT’s primary human trafficking hotline, victims were originally recruited for work, and upon arrival at their undisclosed foreign destinations, their employment contracts were substituted, and they were compelled to serve in foreign militaries.
