Land Transportation Office chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II on Friday vehemently denied allegations of corruption following the filing of two separate cases against him by a transport group before the Office of the Ombudsman.

The LTO chief stressed that the complaints recently filed against him were the same issues that he had already addressed since his appointment at the LTO back in July.

"This came as a surprise to me since the two issues that were brought to the Ombudsman by the complainants, are the very same issues that I have been addressing since Day One of my assumption as the LTO chief," Mendoza told DAILY TRIBUNE.

"On digitalization, for instance, we have already successfully consolidated all the online transactions using the Land Transportation Management System, which means the transactions now are more convenient and hassle-free for all our clients. And this was done in just four months after I assumed office," he added.

For the LTO's license plates backlog, he said the agency's plate-making facility is now producing around one million metal plates a month.
