LTO Chief Jose Art Tugade resigns from post
LAND Transportation Office Chief Jose Art Tugade resigned from his post on Monday, May 22, 2023, due to “differences” with the Department of Transportation .
In a statement posted on the Presidential Communications Office’s Facebook page, Tugade said his methods to achieve success in serving the public differ with that of DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista. “Even as DOTR and LTO both aim to succeed in serving the public, our methods to achieve that success differ. For this reason, I am stepping down, so Sec. Jimmy Bautista will have the free hand to choose who he can work best with,” he said.
He added: “I will continue to root for the LTO's success even as a private citizen, because I will always share in Sec. Bautista’s belief that our offices can be a formidable force for good in our country.”Tugade is the son of former Transportation secretary Arthur Tugade.SunStar website welcomes friendly debate, but comments posted on this site do not necessarily reflect the views of the SunStar management and its affiliates.
