at least may gumagawa ng matino sa LTO,, two thumbs up for you sirMANILA, Philippines - A taxi driver thought he got some luck after his passenger "agreed" to pay a pre-arranged fare amounting to P700 for a trip from the airport to Quezon City - until he realized who his passenger was.
Radio dzBB reported that the cab driver - whose identity was withheld - instead lost his license and had his taxi unit impounded after the man whom he contracted for the exorbitant fare was Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Alberto Suansing.
Suansing said the taxi driver had charged him P700 from the airport to Quezon City, instead of using the taximeter. He said the driver had no idea who his passenger was, until he was told to enter the LTO compound in Quezon City.
When the driver finally found out who his passenger was, Suansing had his driver's license canceled and his taxi unit impounded.
Suansing said he will be conducting more surprise inspections in the coming weeks especially with the Christmas shopping season about to peak soon. - GMANews.TV

Mukhang low-profile lang siya ah. Imagine, walang bodyguards at walang sumundo sa kanya from the airport. A very rare sight among ranking public servants nowadays...

November 11th, 2008 03:37 AM #8Hah. Buti nga sa swapang na taxi driver na yan. Mabuhay ka Mr. Suansing! Sana pati department heads mo pag commute-in mo kahit twice a week.
Kung mag isa ka lang kasi kahit araw arawin mo outnumbered ka pa din ng buwaya sa kalsada.
