(Eagle News) — The Land Transportation Office on Monday asked actress Maria Isabel Lopez to explain why her license should not be revoked following what it said was her “blatant violation of traffic rules and regulations.”
In a show-cause order signed by the LTO’s Law Enforcement Service director Francis Ray Almora, the LTO ordered Lopez to appear before the Office of the Director on Nov. 16 at 10 a.m. to make the explanation.
The LTO said the order stems from a complaint filed by Atty. Victor Pablo Trinidad, director III of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, in connection with the Nov. 11 incident that saw Lopez breaching the Association of Southeast Asian Nations lane on Edsa and then bragging about it on Facebook.
“MMDA thinks I’m an official ASEAN delegate. If you can’t beat em, join them,” she said, using the hashtags #nosticker, #leadership, #belikemaria, #pasaway, and #selfpreservation.
Lopez said that some motorists behind her immediately followed suit.
“Your failure to comply shall be deemed a waiver of your right to be heard,” the LTO said.
