The Land Transportation Office (LTO) impounded a luxury vehicle on Saturday after the driver failed to present any document proving that the sports sedan is registered.

The Porsche Panamera was personally apprehended by LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao while conducting a routine operation at CALAX Rotonda, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, as part of Plan Biyaheng Ayos: Undas 2025.

According to the LTO, the driver did not show necessary documents such as a sales invoice or other papers proving that the car is registered.

The vehicle was swiftly impounded and brought to the LTO central office for further investigation. According to Lacanilao, this should serve as a lesson and warning to motorists that the law applies equally to everyone, regardless of social status or type of vehicle.

On Friday, in a separate case in LTO CALABARZON, two sports car drivers were also apprehended for driving unregistered vehicles.

As a consequence, the driver of a Ford Mustang 2.3 EL EC Coupe and a Ford Mustang 5.0L V8 had their licenses confiscated for violating Section 2.A of Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.

According to Lacanilao, this is part of the agency’s commitment, together with the Department of Transportation, to the directive of the president to intensify traffic law enforcement to ensure motorists’ safety, especially during holidays.

“No one is above the law. No matter what their vehicle is, everyone should follow the rules for the safety of the public,” Lacanilao said.
