MANILA, Philippines — A Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) vehicle and its motorcycle escort were apprehended yesterday by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) for using the exclusive EDSA bus lane in Santolan, Quezon City.
The PDEA driver, who said they were conducting an operation, failed to present a valid registration for the vehicle.
He was allegedly carrying a fake driver’s license, according to the DOTr’s Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation.
PDEA public information office chief Laurefel Gabales told The STAR that the involved agent would face administrative cases.
“The agency will not condone such action. An internal investigation is underway. Administrative sanctions will be imposed on the violator,” Gabales said.
