LTO Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II, who led the operation under the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon, said the raid was based on verified intelligence reports. The raid follows similar operations in Quezon City and Davao, where over 40 vehicles were previously confiscated.

00:00Asa, ano itong operation na ito?

00:02Ito yung illegal importation in right-hand vehicles.

00:07Kung nagbabawal ka sa batas yung right-hand vehicles,

00:11kasi pag kininvert mo to left-hand,

00:15may road safety issues na kaka dyan.

00:17So it has to be done only by accredited rebuilders,

00:21which are located in the freeport areas.

00:24Pag dito sa Cebu or anywhere else,

00:27bawal na bawal mo yan.

00:29Asa, ano yung pangalan ng company na, ano?

00:32This one na na-operate natin?

00:35Japan Surplus, do?

00:38Mga ilang weeks or ilang months ba natin inobserbahan

00:45for us to know and to verify?

00:58In and out of vehicles,

01:00na-confirm natin na puro right-hand drive

01:02and true enough.

01:04Puro right-hand drive ng vehicles.

01:06Paano natin alaman? May nag-tip ko ba?

01:08Resulta to ng ibang raid na ginawa natin.

01:11Nung nag-raid tayo sa Quezon City,

01:15So, kaya tayo nag-ibistiga dito,

01:17nasa nakita natin ito.

01:19Nung nag-ibistiga tayo dito,

01:21Naturo ang Dabao.

01:22Kaya connected natin.

01:23Nung nag-raid tayo sa Dabao,

01:25Naturo na naman balik sa Cebu.

01:27So, umiigot lang po yan.

01:29So, at least, naglalabasan nga ito.

01:31Yung mga nabibigay sa atin na informasyon.

01:33Nagpapasalamat tayo sa kanila.

01:35Plus, now we're able to be very proactive

01:37sa pag-support at legal public na ito.

01:41At saka na yung gagawin natin sa mga confiscated na mga vehicles?

01:46Ito,

01:47karami nandito magiging ebidensya ng

01:57of 500 vehicles.

02:00So, doon doon pa.

02:03That's the subject of existing legal

02:05to the National Bureau of Investigation.

03:09We have to send a message, no?

03:10An issue ng road safety.

03:12Pagkaibubinin ng right-hand drive converted to left,

03:16hindi tayo nakakasigurado sa issue ng road safety.

03:19Mas lalo yung masasakyan na ito, no?

03:22Hindi na-check ito kung safe eh.

03:24Kung hindi, kumalabas ito sa daan.
