Derek Ramsay said that he’s ready to cooperate with LTO
Actor Derek Ramsay has finally broken his silence regarding the controversy involving the alleged use of a fake license plate on his Porsche 918 Spyder.
The actor’s name suddenly became a trending topic on social media following reports of an LTO (Land Transportation Office) investigation into the actor-businessman, who was allegedly using a fake license plate on the luxury vehicle, which did not match the plate officially assigned to it.
LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus Vi. Lacanilao later confirmed in an interview with a news outlet that the person they were referring to was indeed Derek.
Consequently, the LTO has directed the vehicle’s designated driver and registered owner to appear before the Intelligence and Investigation Division to submit a verified or sworn explanation regarding the alleged violation concerning the use of license plates.
That is why Derek Ramsay released a statement regarding the incident via an Instagram story, based on the article in Bandera.
“I’ve seen the issue regarding the 918 spyder on social media. I do not drive any cars with fake plates. All my vehicles have proper plates. Pls carefully read the statement issued by Ito to properly understand what is happening,” the actor explained.
Derek further stated that, as of now, he has not yet received a show-cause order, but he is prepared to cooperate with the agency should he receive one.
“I have not yet recieved any show cause order but i will cooperate and appear when requested. To the LTO i apologize for what is going on. Driving with fake plates is wrong and should not be tolerated,” he said.
Lacanilao had previously stated that there is no special treatment in the implementation of the agency’s policies.
Meanwhile, a rumor surfaced that Derek Ramsay sold the luxury car to a gay personality, but allegedly, this was not paid yet.
