LTO Enforcers Removed from Bicol Border Checkpoints for Allowing Colorums
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) enforcers have been removed from border checkpoints of Bicol for allegedly allowing colorums to enter.
LTO Bicol has released a new guideline instructing enforcers to patrol rather than simply sit at border checkpoints. According to Bombo Radyo’s survey, several complaints about infiltrating colorum vehicles continue to be received despite strict restrictions.

LTO Bicol Regional Director Francisco Ranches Jr. claimed that the colorums, have their own “tipsters” so they can evade enforcers. When the team is in the field, it is said that almost nothing passes, so they decided that their anti-colorum drive goes roving.
Meanwhile, bribery charges against enforcers are being looked at. According to him, the enforcers are restricted, making it easy to determine who is being charged while also tracking and arresting violators for wearing body cameras.
LTO Bicol has so far intercepted 183 colorum vehicles at border checkpoints. Several colorum vehicles have previously been caught illegally transporting passengers.
The vehicles carrying the passengers were discovered to be illegal or colorum, according to the police. Passengers that are undocumented, have not been screened for COVID-19, and have not been permitted to cross control points have also been discovered.
