Dear PAO,
I have been a public utility jeepney driver for a long time in Metro Manila. I have heard on the radio a declaration of one politician that only the Land Transportation Office (LTO) has the sole power to confiscate a driver's license in case of a traffic violation. I have been apprehended multiple times by traffic enforcers from both the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and local government units (LGUs) in Metro Manila. In these instances, either my license was confiscated or I was issued an ordinance violation receipt (OVR). Am I correct in my assumption that the LGUs and MMDA cannot confiscate my driver's license or issue an OVR for traffic violations, as this is the sole power of the LTO?
