LTO Chief Virginia Torres, the shooting buddy of President Noynoy Aquino is being accused of a serious crime of corruption. Torres, the former head of the LTO in Central Luzon, is tagged as behind a large scale operation involving LTO officials. Torres, according to police reports, is part of the syndicate which allegedly process LTO papers on stolen vehicles, one of which is a Mitsubishi Pajero.
Torres denies this lamely and she can only mutter that the news "is part of a demolition job". She, however, did not identify the mastermind behind the smear campaign against her.
This is the oft-repeated refrain of Noynoy appointees accused of irregularities. These Aquino appointees make it appear that they are subjects of demolition jobs, when, really, they did these things to themselves by succumbing to fiduciary "pressures".
Seeing the police report, the allegations there are very serious, the probe honest and well-intentioned. It was conducted by Supt. Leo Espina, a very reputable police officer. Mrs. Torres, don't tell me that Espina had a grudge against you?
Noynoy should immediately fire Torres and replace her with somebody more competent and not susceptible to graft and corruption.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is one of the dirtiest government agencies of the Republic. Someone has to really go there and cleanse this agency from all filth, so that public confidence will really bounce back.
